It has been a while since NASCAR hit the front pages with on-track news. The biggest news in recent years has had to do with either drivers (like Dale Earnhardt, Jr, Tony Stewart, or Jeff Gordon) retiring or over awful happenings like Stewart’s.

When it comes to the FIFA World Cup, there is always a certain mystique. That only gets ratcheted up more and more as the rounds go by. That was certainly the case on a magical night on Wednesday when Croatia met England. On one hand, you had the self-professed inventors of the game, the “home…
