"But cheating fits right in with NASCAR's core values. In a sport where they're literally running out of places for sponsor names (no more room on the car or driver, few naming rights left to sell); where the major corporate involvement comes from oil and tobacco; where Confederate flags dot the grandstands; where burning fuel, leaking brake fluid, and littered beer cans and Winston butts congeal in an odious, environmental dystopia ... In a sport like this, doesn't playing unfair just seem like the right thing to do?
Baseball is America as we'd like to be. NASCAR is America as we really are. In its own way, it's beautiful. I wouldn't change a thing."
