And a look at the new Roush Fenway racing shouldn't take to long to see the league that Jack's new partner is into (Fenway is the name of a baseball stadium btw)
So in short, baseball and Nascar, NFL and Nascar coming together has already happened to some extent... Did it result in the ball and stick fans showing an interest in motorsport? Probably not
edit: I was looking at my Tv stand, I have 7-8 nhl action figures, a lora croft figure with my favorite teams emblem on her... um... chest I giant beer bottle coin bank, night light, beer mugs, soup thermos, baseball cap... all featuring my favorite hockey team logo on it (heck, I even have M&M's in my teams colours!!!) And I get really ticked off because I can't find the zamboni, corvette or ford mustang diecasts in my team despite the local stores having montreal, Toronto and the flames!!!
And I don't even think I'm anywhere near as rabid about my team or sport as some of those football fans!!! :
So yes, I can see some spill overThe Preceding post may have contained nudity, sexuality, violence, coarse language and Jacques
