Nick (Hogan) Bollea nods approvingly.

His passengers, not so much.

Does this mean the cars will have to come with cup holders for beer now?

He didn't hit you, he rubbed you. Rubbin's racin.

Is having an official sport (or bird or tree or flower) something that benefits the state? Is there a competition between states to have a better official thing?

Why would you need an official sport? It just doesn't make any sense to me. I guess that's why it's got the Florida tag, but it's just really weird.

WHERE ARE THE 700,000JOBS YOU USELESS farkING PIECES OF shiat?

It's not a sport.

Well, given the problems Florida has I certainly hope none of our fine, upstanding, elected officials are wasting ANY time on something so farking frivolous and stupid.

However, the article has some awesome suggestions for how turn NASCAR back into something mildly entertaining, sprinkle in some State Troopers to randomly pick out and chase down / pull over and ticket different cars 2 or 3 times per race. Have 1 of those result in the driver being pulled from the car and tasered a few times!

I also like the idea of sprinkling in some blue hairs, not real ones of course since that would be dangerous, but some simulated ones would be awesome. Have a couple of cars just randomly enter the racing groove going 80 mph slower than the rest of the field, and stay there for a couple of laps 4 or 5 times per race. THAT.WOULD.BE.AWESOME.

I hope NASCAR is reading this!

Neither is Fark but they both fit the definition.

Surprisingly effective yet so simple.

They already have these. FHP Troopers Kyle Busch and Brian Vickers work the speedway while the NASCAR officials run a speed trap in Pit City. The resident blue hairs are also referred to a backmarkers or start and parks. See also: Bodine.

No, no, he didn't slam you, he didn't bump you, he didn't nudge you... he *rubbed* you. And rubbin, son, is racin'.

Sebring, biatches..

It was once the endurance race in the U.S. to rival Le Mans, back when men all looked like Steve McQueen and cars had skinny tires and no roll cage.

Not to mention all the karts and sprint cars that race down there during the winter.

Hawnkee: It's not a sport.

Wrong again Sporto, its not a game, but is one of the true sports.

I think they should keep it Serial Killing, like it is now.

no, no, no. i'm sorry. nascar is not THAT popular here. go fark yourselves, rednecks.

/it's also not a sport.

If it can't be simulated as a computer game (poker, chess, etc) it's a sport.

If they somehow can call soccer a sport why not car racing? I have no problem with this.

BAMFinator: He didn't hit you, he rubbed you. Rubbin's racin.

Came for the Harry Hogge reference. Leaving satisfied.

I thought they already had a state sport: Shuffleboard. Or is it beater pick-up truck repair? I forget.

BarbadoSlim: If they somehow can call soccer a sport why not car racing? I have no problem with this.

Because the "athletes" sit on their arses the entire time?

BigRightRear: Wrong again Sporto, its not a game, but is one of the true sports.

I'm not sure what you mean by "true sports", but I am sure that racing is not one of them.

Hawnkee: It's not a sport.

A friend of mine came up with the most practical definition for sport, which was an athletic activity that you could not do while smoking.

For example, swimming - sport (except possibly for the backstroke.)
Golf - not a sport.
Racecar driving - not a sport.

// Which was ironic, since my friend was an amateur racecar driver

Suck it, Florida.

But did it take the air off his spoiler?

what if there is accident while racing?...considering many people don't have car insurance...

You know, they have a point. It's not like they have races one or two or three weekends a year down there. They have what is known as Speed Weeks! Weeks, as in longer than days or even weekends. Plus many, many races later in the year after Speed Weeks.

/it seems more appropriate for Florida than any other state
