Jesus God Almighty. NASCAR defies comprehension at times. It's a damned motorsports competition, not an avenue for Jeff [expletive deleted] Hammond to go to some wrestling venue and act like a fool. Professional "sports entertainment" wrestling (contradistinguished from Greco-Roman wrestling, which is what schools and the Olympics do) isn't worthy of watching, and why should my motorsport be sullied with wrestling?

In related news, NASCAR Nation has put Krista Voda in the female anchor's slot tonight, apparently moving Courtney George to the roving anchor spot. This is not a bad thing. If this ponderous exercise in low-grade television journalism (or is that "extreme reporting"?) is going to continue, then we might as well see Speed Channel's best blond.

Note to wardrobe, re Krista Voda: Black shirts & pink pants match for Lisa Robertson on QVC when she's hawking cubic zirconia. They do not work for motorsports broadcasting. That is, unless you want to put Ralph Sheheen in a black shirt and pink pants. That could be amusing.

NOTE: The Speed Channel website hates Firefox. Pages will render, but the text is way down below. Just scroll down.

UPDATE: It appears that others don't like NASCAR Nation, either. From various referrer links, I got to something called The Frontstretch, wherein angry NASCAR fans (Geoffrey Norman's fundamentalists speak, I suppose) voice their dislike for the program. As for me, I'd like to know where this whole "nation" thing got started for fans of a sport or team. Even "Red Sox Nation" barely makes sense.

This post, aside from mistaking Courtney George for a beautiful woman, seems to be on-point. Exactly why do I need to be told how to be a NASCAR fan? I spend money, I watch the races, I buy the stuff. End of story. What's a racing lifestyle show, anyways?
