I won't demean them. We all have our things.

I've always been fascinated as an auto racing fan that so many people that have both benefitted from the engineering that has been developed by it--better, more efficient engines; braking systems; aerodynamics; safety systems--and actually put their lives in the hands of other drivers on the road every day are not more interested in it.

What has the development of a football or a baseball brought us? How many people throw one at the risk of their very life every day?

Yet, we strap ourselves into 5000-pound automobiles every day without thinking of it as a skill that can be honed.

That's why we have 40,000 needless automobile deaths every year, but we don't have a lot of baseball or football deaths.

I truly wish everyone on the road was an auto racing fan and took driving seriously.
