NASCAR Superstitions

OK.... This is for all those folks out there who thought the movie "Ricky Bobbie" deserved a Oscar and was a true story and ranked up there with the likes of "Ben Hur" and "Saving Private Ryan"

These are a few of the superstitions of some Nascar drivers. I'll be issuing more as the days go by...so, remember the old adage: "Keep the shiny side up and the dirty side down". I believe I heard that one from a group of guys sitting in the parking lot of #4 station talking on their CB's while they pretended they were big rig drivers.

Nutty but true
It’s true. Peanuts are a long-standing taboo for NASCAR drivers. The origin of the superstition is up for debate. One story has some of Junior Johnson’s teammates chomping peanuts in the shop right before an engine blew. The logical conclusion? Blame the peanuts. Another theory is that peanut shells were sprinkled on five cars before a race in the 1930s, and all five cars crashed.
