Examples
If winning the Brickyard 400 means I have to kiss a bunch of dirty, century-old bricks, I suppose my lips are ready for the sacrifice.
Watching the Brickyard 400 is the only time I enjoy seeing people turn left for four hours while praying their engine doesn't decide to retire early.
The Brickyard 400 has enough gravity to turn a rookie into a legend or a veteran into a guy nervously sweating in the pit lane.
