Yahsure you betcha...

I'll admit to not being a huge Nascar fan, but I could be if I had to, I suppose. I don't dislike it, I just don't know it. I just haven't watched a lot of racing of any kind.

By way of explanation: The last race driver that I ever followed with any enthusiasm was Jackie Stewart. [dating self].

I think to truly be a Nascar fan maybe you have to *go* to a race. Hear the noise. Smell the fuel. It's a drug I think. Didja see that photo OT posted this morning of Bobby Labonte's new car? He's one of my guys.

Far as the confederate flag.... I don't have one. But, it's definitely a part of the history of Texas... the bad parts and the good parts so when I see it I accept it for the good parts of my history it represents.

Now, the Lone Star flag..... that's a whole other story. I'm sitting here freeping all tucked into my bed with a Texas flag hanging proudly on the wall before me! Just can't do without that one! Somehow I expect you aren't surprised. :-)
