maybe eventually. nascar keeps going south...so anything could happen. between the two, i'd rather get my ass beaten than have to watch a nascar race.
did watch the f-1 from montreal the other day tho...but 70 laps is a lot easier to stick to.

All I know is that I'm mentoring a STEM teaching thing this week, and when I asked the kids if they'd seen the Belmont, a third of the hands went up and they were excited to talk about it. These are 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders.
