I was a lifelong NASCAR guy but I've been getting more into midgets (heh, there's a joke in there somewhere) and sprint cars lately. Not going to lie, I'm never going to forget watching the TBARA asphalt sprints run at the then-freshly-repaved New Smyrna Speedway, and the sheer speed and chaos quite literally broke my fucking brain. It was like watching a VCR race on fast forward. I thought someone might have spiked my food with cocaine or something.
Of course, the late, great Dave Steele won that race, so I'm glad to have witnessed it. Such a shame that he passed away. That crash looked so survivable too.
We have the greatest Sprintcars don't we folks!
Sprint car racing is pretty sick, loud ground rumbling noise, dirt clods flying into your beer... it's a patriot's sport
