Speed Racer…
A few years ago my mom used to be the biggest fan of Nascar racing in the world. Which was really strange because she’s never been a fan of any kind of sport. Ever. Of course her car racing obsession only lasted about two seasons. She said after she got sick she used to be depressed about not being able to walk fast or get around like she used to, so she started watching racing because it made her feel excited to see people moving so fast… since she couldn’t anymore.
I guess she eventually lost interest in watching since it wasn’t a love for the sport itself that made her watch. She does still check the Nascar standings from time to time though. I’m glad I never bought her a Nascar jacket or other Nascar merchandise like I started to. One year I was going to buy her a Nascar throw for her bed. That would probably be in the closet right now collecting dust!
