2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Pre-Season Update Two

The Eagles have won the right to face the Patriots in the Super Bowl tomorrow night. which means the start of the 2018 NASCAR season draws ever nearer. While we’re waiting, I wanted to keep up with pre-season news.

Good job F1 on eliminating the ‘grid girls’. I’m pleasantly surprised. I applaud talented female athletes making names and reputations in vehicles in motorsports. Women are making slow steps toward equality in all employment – including sports. I retain hope that all sports will one day respect women enough to support equality by treating the women like the men providing the same opportunities – utilizing their hard work and talent instead of just using their physical assets to titillate. F1’s move is a tiny step in that direction. I hope they take further steps to improve the opportunities for everyone, including women and poor people, in F1. Maybe Monster will move into the 21st century and follow suit. NASCAR wants new fans without dropping the old attitudes and thinking. Since NASCAR has become so blatantly a marketing exercise, as opposed to a sport, they may be forced to truly embrace the diversity to which they give lip-service.
