AutoBlog does it again

Their writing is pretty funny.

This may be the best yet:
Obviously Schumacher is unaware that only 90% of NASCAR actually involves running around on ovals. The other ten percent is split between drinking beer, pitching beer, and judging wet t-shirt contests. So there is at least SOME obvious reason to like it.

"The car sure looks like a shot of Jack on wheels – a little intimidating on approach, but the perfect partner for one hell of an exciting night."

I sent that in since it's the beginning of NASCAR season again. I figure the bashing should begin.

What do you mean by "I sent that in"?

I must say I am completely down with "the other 10 percent". The oval and the ugly cars are the problem I have with NASCAR.

This one I figured they will bash. I watch NASCAR races all the time. I figured it needed some attention. I also would like to see MS try. I don't think he will ever do it.

MS is not used to this door to door racing. Parades maybe.

"Evernham apparently thinks some seat time would help change the champ's mind and show off the huge technical strides NASCAR has made in recent years"

Like carburetors and not allowing data acquisition?
