Only in the South

Freaktoe’s teacher just called. Her school is canceling classes tomorrow. Why?

NASCAR.

The Sharpie Professional 250 was supposed to be run today, but was postponed due to heavy rain. They’re running Monday morning instead.

And no, they’re not canceling school so the kids can take a field trip to the racetrack. It’s all about the traffic. Bristol, Tennessee has a population of about 25,000. Bristol Motor Speedway has a seating capacity of 160,000, and the race is sold out.

Do the math.

But don’t go to school.
