Since September of 2006, I have been keeping track of the commercials for every Cup race. It was something I chose to do on a whim, and have continued to do because the fans enjoy it. It has become popular enough to have CawsnJaws.com mentioned in ‘NASCAR Illustrated’ magazine and on satellite radio shows, and linked to from premier NASCAR websites such as Jayski’s.

As time has gone on, I began to also keep track of how many times drivers are focused on during the races. This is in response to fans’ complaints that only certain drivers ever get camera time. I also note how many times the networks miss a restart, or how many ‘mystery cautions’ there are during a race.

I believe my research has pretty much debunked the theories that only Dale Earnhardt Jr. or Jeff Gordon are shown during a race, and that there are more commercials than there is racing during a broadcast. Here it is, folks: for every race broadcast the cameras focus mostly on the leaders, not just Hendrick drivers; and you are going to get app. one hour’s worth of commercials.

Last Wednesday evening, my son, Joshua, and I were heading to his favorite seafood restaurant. He was happy because he had had a good day at college, and was talking to me about it. I wasn’t hearing every word, because I was deciding whether or not to go straight at the next red light, or turn right. Either way would take us to the same place, so I was debating the pros and cons of each choice. Finally choosing to go straight for no other reason than we hadn’t gone that way for a while, I headed through the intersection.

We were in my beloved ‘baby’, otherwise known as our ’06 Chevy Cobalt. Rally Yellow. Only 5340 miles on it. We took great care of it, even covering it up sometimes for weeks in bad weather. Had an accessory on the front of the car called a ‘bra’. Kind of a kinky name for a car accessory, but fitting, as it was black and had netting on it. It jazzed it up nicely (as a black bra with netting has a tendency to do with other things besides cars).

Perhaps two-thirds of the way through the intersection, there was a tremendous bang, and suddenly I wasn’t thinking about Josh, his happiness, or whether or not I would order shrimp scampi or crab linguine. I was suddenly wondering what that horrible sound was, why my chest was hurting, and how I ended up sliding straight into a car head-on. The first thing I clearly saw once the car stopped was the female driver of the black car we had just been pushed into, and she was angry. I didn’t have to be an expert on body language to know that this woman was exceedingly unhappy about this turn of events.

I could not empathize with her, however, because my chest was hurting so badly. And how was Joshua? After asking him that very question, and hearing him say he was okay, I was back to clutching at my chest.
