WWF in a car, I love that one. Nascar SUCKS. So does the WWF. I was going to subscribe to the new SPEED channel but after reading a few posts now I kind of doubt I'll bother.

You always hear about how race fans only go to see the crashes. I don't watch a lot of racing, but I actually like watching them race. Crashes just slow everything down, not to mention injuries, crunched cars, etc.

But, has anyone else noticed that Nascar ads are almost entirely composed of crashes? Maybe it's Nascar fans who only go to see the crashes.

I'm not a NASCAR fan but NASCAR isn't the only one that uses crash footage in their ads. SpeedVision, now the Speed Channel, has been running ads that show just about every kind of racecar you can imagine crashing.

BTW, did anybody noticed that "racecar" is a palindrome (reads the same, forward or backward)?
