A CTE teacher's blog about teaching, sports & entertainment marketing, life, and other assorted topics. A long, circuitous career path has now found me teaching Sports & Entertainment Marketing in North Carolina. I was in the Marines and the TV business prior to teaching--told ya it was circuitous! And yes, I do ramble!

Have At It, Boys
There's nothing in NASCAR like a great feud. There aren't any new ones in NASCAR like the ones from the '70s, but it's not for lack of trying, especially by Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick.
Busch is one of those guys that people either love or hate. Most race fans I talk to hate the guy, but I'm kinda partial to him. Harvick's had run-ins with multiple drivers over the years, and after Darlington, it must be Kyle Busch's turn to tangle.
The old school drivers like Earnhardt, Allison and Petty drew a decidedly blue collar audience, but the growth of NASCAR in the last 15 years precipitated a preponderance of corporate, speak no evil, cookie cutter drivers that never did the wrong thing. With the recent ratings slide, maybe NASCAR is interested in drivers that will spice things up, on and off the track.
