Apparently, he really does have a need for speed. Tom Cruise and his son, Connor, swapped the glitz and glamour of the Oscars for the grit and grunge of NASCAR’s Auto Club 500 in Fontana, California.
Wisely avoiding any Days of Thunder-style spinouts, Tom and Connor (seen above with NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick) chucked a football around with crew members in Jimmie Johnson’s pit box.
How very manly! Here’s hoping our favorite A-list NASCAR dad bought a round of jerky for the house. (Source: E! Online)

Thats why he was no where to be seen at the Oscars. I understand why he would rather be at Nascar than the Oscars. I should have watched that instead of the Oscars. In fact I am going to boycott the Oscars until they recognize Tom for the great actor he is.

I Totally agree with you Colleen. That show was a complete bore and without Tom, it wasnt worth my time. Lets hope that the academy will wake up some day and finally recognize MR MAgic!!
