(Daytona Beach, FL) - At first glance, most spectators would say the other major sports league which TCoS most resembles is the NFL. It's true these leagues have some commonality. However, the truth is that TCoS and NASCAR have more in common than any other sports sanctioning bodies.
The most noteworthy characteristic shared by TCoS and the NASCAR is how the season opens with the biggest event. While the World Series and Super Bowl end baseball and football season, respectively. The Daytona 500 and March Madness are both the first and most significant event of their sport's season. Like racing, top shuffleboard players spend their winters preparing for their sport's premier event. Once the first event's results are in the books, the season continues, but the remaining events do not match the importance of the premier.
Another common characteristic is the elite talent at March Madness, as well as the Daytona 500. Racer Jimmy Johnson commented "There have been other tracks that have separated the men from the
boys. This is the track that will separate the brave from the weak after
the boys are gone. If you replace "track" with "tournament", you have a perfect description of talent level and intensity at Pop's Pub for March Madness.
We are getting closer to that special Saturday. It's like Christmas in March!
NASCAR-style jackets...No coincidence here.
