The FanHouse Podcast: Because bloggers are much sexier on the phone.CNBC's Darren Rovell is back on HausCast, this time to talk about about his upcoming documentary "Inside Track: Refueling the Business of NASCAR."
Along with co-host Will Brinson, we talk about how the collapse of the automotive industry has affected the sport, the similarities between NASCAR and less popular sports like the LPGA Tour, and what effect, if any, Danica Patrick might have on NASCAR should she make the switch. Darren also discusses Tony Stewart's biggest fan, and how Ryan Newman is in the enviable position of having the mostly recession proof Army as his primary sponsor.
We end things by getting Darren's thoughts on the late Billy Mays, one of the infomercial pioneers.
Fun starts after the jump.

I was stunned to see the entire backstreach seats empty at Daytona on Saturday night. I lived there for 7 years and attended all the races for many more. I couldn't believe it. The middle class is who bought those tickets. IMO that was a picture of what is happening to the working people.

I know I am a little slow sometimes but am I the only person that it took looking at this article 3 times to finally figure out I needed to push the play button to get what this blog was about? I thought what was written was bland but the actual inerview you get to hear is worse. I was lost by the time the guy started asking if the cars Nascar uses today even qualify as a car.
I agree with Big Bud, who are these idiots?

I HOPE EVERY DAY THAT MS DANICA PATRICK WILL START DRIVING A NASCAR RACECAR! IT WILL ADD SOME MORE EXCITEMENT TO THE SPORT! IT WON'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT THE BEST DRIVER IS NOW AND WILL STILL BE MR. TONY STEWART! GO SMOKE...WIN ONE MORE AND GIVE US TOP TENS AND FIVES!
