Nascar

I don't talk all that much about the media, tv, or movies here, but I figure this is as probably a good place as any to do that.

I was on the way to work this morning, and I was listening to this guy on the radio in a commercial who was losing his mind over 24 hour coverage of Nascar. I couldn't help but wonder to myself who wants or requires 24 hour coverage of Nascar, and why they would be losing their fricken minds over the concept of it.

While I live in San Diego, and I am sure there are plenty of Nascar fans around here, I just wonder what warrants all of the promotion that I see all the time for it over the past few years. I think stations generally just advertise to the local demographic, so I'm just wondering who in the world is so into this sport? I don't know a single person that cares enough to watch a full race here in SD let alone want to watch it all day every day.
