Drivers don’t like Darlington Raceway very much.

Watching the Nationwide Series race tonight, and listening to the various comments from competitors reminded me of that.

I don’t care.

One after another, Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick and others made their distaste for the venerable track known

So what.

Commentators Rusty Wallace and Alan Bestwick seemed to enjoy hearing the guys on the track bitch and moan.

I did too.

I’ve sort of always liked it best when the elite athletes I was watching were tortured. My favorite football games are the ones on the frozen tundra. When it’s really frozen.

The best golf tournaments are the Open Championships, where the rough is a foot high and the bunkers are WWII bomb craters.

I like my F1 races in the rain. At Spa Francorchamps or the Nurburgring Nordschleife.

And I like my NASCAR at the Track Too Tough To Tame.
