... and here all good Blobophiles (both of you!) are saying, "NASCAR? That's still a thing?"
Well, yes. In some remote corners of the US of A, it is.
Yesterday, it wrapped up its season in Phoenix.
A really good dude named Ryan Blaney, member of a really good family of racers, passed Kyle Larson late for second place, thereby locking up the 2023 Cup title.
This meant Roger Penske, who is 86 now but still better than you, won his second straight Cup title as an owner, because Blaney drives a Ford for Penske Racing and so does last year's winner, Joey Logano.
It wraps up a year in which a Penske driver (Josef Newgarden) won the Indianapolis 500, a Penske driver won the NASCAR championship, and Penske's corporation continued to own the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the IndyCar racing series.
And did I mention the guy's 86 years old?
"Yes, you did," you're saying now.
Well. It bears repeating.
