NASCAR RACISTS!

I now have a part time job vending drinks and snacks at sporting events. A little over a week ago I did a Cleveland Browns preseason game and I did the Michigan 400 Nascar Race. The Browns game was a lot of fun but the Nascar race was one of the weirdest experiences in my life. Turns out the people that hired me never bothered to say that it was so loud you went deaf after just a few laps. They also did not tell me that Nascar is the only major sporting event where you can bring your own food and alcohol in. Turns out the guy selling you beer and hot dogs at the ball game is only making tips and commission. Remember kids, as you tip on Earth so shall you be tipped in Heaven.

With all the bus riding and prep work I ended up spending about 17 1/2 hours of my life on this Nascar race. I sure didn't make enough to justify all of my life that was spent at what was basically a festival celebrating gasoline.

If you like car racing I'm not trying to diss what you like but for me it felt like I was in Hell with 350,000 people that were paying to be there. Certainly Hell is a lonesome place but if I had to go I'd rather be alone than with people who were constantly cheering all of the flames and whatnot.

All this brings me up to today's song. As car racing is our most southern sport the Drive By Truckers are our most southern band. Here's their race car song:
