Although it has nothing to do with Nascar,it did say they have recruited several drivers to participate. I don't like Golf, but I might would watch just to see how the drivers do.

I love golf but this will be about as interesting as your basic pro-am.

Personally, I think it would be a much better program if they'd take six PGA stars ( Tiger, David Duval, for example) and run a exhibition race with six Cup drivers. The PGA'ers could have cars with V8 engines and the Cup drivers could drive four-bangers, just to even things up.

As far as I know the only two drivers who have even a single digit handicap are Dale Jarrett and Juan Pablo.
