But with racing legend Sterling Marlin's extensive involvement with Spa,
the Belgian GP, and other aspects of the sport it is clearly quite
relevant...

Spa....Maybe we can find out more then....

Nascar fans have trouble with subtle points like that. :-)

They's right good at settin' on porches playin' banjos, though. ;-)

I used to think Nascar encouraged wrecks because their fans liked it. But
this year I actually watched 15 minutes of a Nascar race, and I now see I
was wrong. Nascar encourages frequent wrecks because without them, no
spectators would be able to stay awake for long. The sheer boredom would
put everybody to sleep, without the wrecks. :-)

Ovals - yes, tedious, however I watched a "road course" raced earlier this
year (Sonoma?) which was really entertaining. Mostly because Montoya won and
few of the other drivers actually seemed to be able to turn right, so it was
amusing...

You misspelled "Moss."
