I Have Discovered the Magic Formula to Determine Success (or Lack Thereof) at NASCAR

No, seriously.
I’ve spent a good chunk of the morning adding links to all of the teams running in the 2007 NASCAR season and posting the first previews of all the teams 2007 chances, and I think I stumbled upon a pretty good indicator of each team’s chance of success in 2007:
If you’re a racing team and embed audio on the main page of your website, chances are you won’t fare well. The louder and longer the embedded audio file is, the farther back in the field you’ll likely finish.
Seriously, folks, cut that crap out. The last thing I want is to be scared silly when I land on your page and there’s suddenly an enormously loud, revving engine leaping out of my speakers.
It’s not cool. Not only is it annoying as crap, but it doesn’t exactly smack of professionalism, either.
Embedded audio is marginally more acceptable on personal sites, blogs, and MySpace accounts, but if you’ve got the bucks to field a team in NASCAR, how about pretending like your site was designed by someone other than your 13 year old nephew?
