In a few minutes the "Great American Race" (I hate that term) will start. The pre-race show is a disaster as they have washed-up performers singing (poor Brian Wilson) with silly dancers. The race is still interesting, and I will watch, but there is something missing. With the death of Dale Earnhardt four years ago, the good old boy attitude seems to be missing. I guess with growth has to come change. NASCAR is now mainstream. I pray for a safe race.

But his performance was horrible. Remember, the studio can work much magic but the live show exposes a whole lot.
