I thought Bubba had a real good shot at the win 
. When that wreck before the green/white/checkered happened I went from
To
When the scoring pylon had him in 6th. Probably won't watch another race until maybe Bristol or Pocono, or even Watkins Glen or Sonoma, whichever is first.

I don’t watch NASCAR, but I seen that Bubba Wallace placed second so congrats to the breh
I want him to succeed but Petty racing never has the technology to keep up with the top teams.
NASCAR is glorified spec racing though. If you aren't competitive then that's on you

I used to watch NASCAR heavy back in the day, even went to a race at Pocono. Now I'll probably check in on a couple races during the year. I watched most of it today, was pulling for the breh Bubba to win. I'll probably check for it more if he has some good runs

I use to see the big rigs get off the highway when it was race week at Atlanta Motor Speedway when I was little and it caught my interest. Now I stay even closer to the racetrack, about 8 miles from it. I can hear the cars going around the track from my house when its race weekend here

It's harder for me to explain how I grew up in Brooklyn and wound up having love for NASCAR. I think it came from an overall love of cars. I used to rock with Indy Car racing too, albeit only for the Indianapolis 500. My grandfather used to have this one white dude that worked on his farm, and he used to drive this souped up electric blue Dodge Charger, I think it was a 70-73 model. You could hear that thing for miles. I used to run out to the porch when I knew he was coming so I could watch that car come in. So I think that's where I started developing a taste for it. Ironically enough, I think I enjoyed it more when it was more "redneck". Seemed to me it got more stale the more "corporate" it became.
I went to a race at Pocono with a co-worker years ago. Getting there from NY was actually quite easy, and it was both our first races. We got there after the race started, and we got some
looks walking through the infield. Saw one other breh there the whole day, son even gave me the 
look when he saw me. It was cool, but I came away thinking that if I was to ever attend another race, I'd prefer a short track like Bristol or Martinsville or Richmond, where there's more action. Only problem is, it's in Bristol, Martinsville or Richmond 
But like I said, my interest has cooled off considerably the past few years.
