"Boogity-boogity-boogity, let's go racing boys" was slightly entertaining the first time Waltrip said it several years ago but now it's just stupid. Digger: Blame stupid s*hit like that on the intense need for advertizing dollars. They think if they put a cartoon rodent in the lower left corner of the screen that kids will want to watch NASCAR on TV and thus become NASCAR "consumers" for life. Seriously, that's how the marketers think. Same thought process went into turning Las Vegas into a "family friendly" vacation destination. That didn't work out either.

Look at Baseball/Basketball. How many stuffed guys are running around in team Mascot stuff. It's the same thing. Geared toward the youger fan. I have no problem with that
