Saturdays aren&#8217;t any better. No Busch Series<br \/>\nrace, no Winston Cup Happy Hour. And I don&#8217;t even want to start on how torturous<br \/>\nSundays are.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The<br \/>\nfirst full month without any NASCAR is going to be tough for some of you eat,<br \/>\nbreathe, sleep nothing but NASCAR type fans. Relax, I&#8217;m going to help you<br \/>\nthrough it.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The<br \/>\nInternet is wonderful; there are many sites for nearly every driver in every<br \/>\nseries. I have spent a fair amount of time scanning NASCAR.com and the most on<br \/>\nthe ball NASCAR news site out there, Jayski.com. Jayski has nearly everything a<br \/>\nrace fan could need. The site even has a counter counting down the exact days,<br \/>\nhours, minutes, and seconds until the Daytona 500.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">For<br \/>\nthose of you who cannot live off of pictures alone, ESPN Classic re-airs past<br \/>\nraces every Saturday. Speedvision is also a great channel to turn to, shows like<br \/>\nNASCAR Tech from the 2001 season, are replayed throughout the week.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">If<br \/>\nall else fails, try watching the NFL. I know this may be hard for some of you,<br \/>\nit is much more different than a racecar speeding 195 mph through the<br \/>\nstraightaway. But, the commercials are helpful. You can often catch Dale Jarrett<br \/>\nrepeatedly refusing to drive the &quot;big brown truck&quot;, Tony Stewart and<br \/>\nBobby Labonte racing boats, and Ryan Newman grabbing some lunch at Wendy&#8217;s.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The<br \/>\noff season, it&#8217;s always hard. The only way you can get through it is by biding<br \/>\nyour time. Scan a few websites, channel surf a little, and before you know it,<br \/>\nthey&#8217;ll be racing at Daytona.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the checkered flag fell at New Hampshire, I knew this was coming, the off season.
