I think that seeing and talking to "ordinary" racers are much more interesting because of the hardships and determination they overcome and encounter.

What better story than the little guy overcoming and winning a major title.

A million movies have been made with the same topic. Nobody likes to see the rich guy with everything win all the time.

The NHRA Bristol coverage was plain putrid. Who in the hell cares about a spoof of the Newlywed Game, Mike Dunn riding his bike down the track, or more of the Ashley and John Force show. ESPN has NO clue whatsoever. The show is supposed to be about drag racing, not "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous".
