The 2007 NASCAR season has come and gone. At this time of year when people reflect back on the blessings that have been bestowed on them over the year, that makes it a good time to take a long look back, realizing there is much that is good about NASCAR and that we should count our blessings.
With that in mind, here’s a few things I find myself thankful for before taking off for a bit of offseason hibernation …
Thanks that the NASCAR Cup season is the longest professional sports season on the planet. It’s even longer than golf! So be thankful that for 38 weekends a year – not to mention those off weekends when the Trucks and/or Busch cars run – we get to watch the sport that we love. Mike Neff, FrontStretch
