In Iowa, rural mail carriers listen to NPR, by the way.
Oh, yes. WOI radio is everywhere. Thank goodness. And yet, they're clinging to guns and NASCAR.
KUNI.
Is there a NASCAR track in Iowa? I know there's lots of dog racing.
I don't think there's a NASCAR track. Big dirt track in Boone, though. I was at the drive-thru lane in the KFC in Boone on race night, about a half-mile from the track, and the cars were so loud you couldn't hear the order taker on the intercom.
I didn't note a huge interest in NASCAR while in Iowa. Bloom clumsily wields the idea as a symbol of all that is redneck. In so doing, he shatters no stereotypes about
his culture.
Well, heck, there's a dirt track in many a small town in iowa. Conflating those with NASCAR is like confusing the work of Thomas Kinkade ("the painter of light") with The works of Vermeer. Sort of messes with one's cred, it does.
