Stock Car Racing should be an intercollegiate sport

Here's a great idea for the NCAA to start another collegiate sports. How bout Stock Car Racing. Imagine seeing drivers racing around the track and instead of them having sponsors logos on their cars, they have Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Alabama, South Carolina, Oklahoma, UCLA, Michigan or Tennessee.

This would be a great way for young high school students who want to get involved in NASCAR to do so and get an education at the same time. Right now, NASCAR Racing is among the most popular sports in the country, especially in the South, where College Football is King. Old rivals could not only battle it out on the Grit iron, but also on the track.
The sponsors could also sponsor collegiate racing. the ratings for NASCAR events are huge, they will be just as good for college racing. You could have the NCAA National 500 to decide the individual and team national championships. What a thrill to race for Bama, or Texas, or Ga. Tech. Sure, these drivers would go pro just like the other big sports, but some would stick it out to hewn their skills on the college asphalt. Oh well, it's just a thought. See ya next blog.
