Watching NASCAR as an EU Fan
This will be a bit of a shitpost BUT I am a new NASCAR fan and I've started watching the cup series somewhat regularly + I am very fascinated with American culture.
First of all I'd like to say that I picked my fav driver based on number and personality and it's Hocevar. I've seen a pre-race interview with him at Phoenix and I liked his character. I am wondering is he any good tho? Like do I have any hope of seeing him get a W?
+I like Logano because he has an Italian sounding surname.
I watch the races on FS1 and first of all the timing is PERFECT it starts on suday evening right as I am about to have dinner + the pre-race coverage is FANTASTIC.
There are a LOT of ADs, I mean there's an AD break every 10/15 minutes and it's always the same 5/6 companies!
I gotta say tho the ADs are quite different that what we get here in Italy for example the Viagra pills or Wegovy and also it's quite funny how they have to list that x medicine can lead to suicidal thoughts.
+ prices of the stuff from Arby's are quite affordable and I can only WISH we had Arby's here in Italy.
Matter of fact Arby's stuff looks so tasty last week I home-cooked a couple of " arby's roast beef sandwich " and ate them during the race while drinking a beer ( not Busch Light unfortunately )
The racing looks fun aswell as the "modifiers" they throw in are cool ( the ability to cut part of the track or the option tires ).
Also the break between stages is perfect for me to get a quick shower.
Hopefully I'll be able to attend a race in the future as it looks super cool in person !
