basically you have 50 identical cars driving in a loop around a concrete circle FIVE HUNDRED TIMES, no way to tell who is winning, who is ahead of who, ect,ect because it is a circle, i dont understand how anyone watches this stuff. basically everyone involved with this has a country accent and is a redneck, i think its time they shut down this 'sport' and send all the fans and drivers to frontline infantry where they belong.

90% of nascar fans are redneck inbreds with an IQ below 90 so it doesn't take much for them to be entertained

Earl, you seem like a good guy and very knowledgable about sports and a diehard, loyal Steelers fan. You and I have had our differences but I'd like to think there is mutual respect BUT......
This is a truly, truly ignorant statement and I'm kind of surprised that you would make a comment like that.
True, most NASCAR fans are rednecks but to call them inbreds with low IQ's because they like a sport that they indentify with is a stupid thing to say.
I was born and raised in North Carolina where NASCAR is king. True, it's not for everybody but honestly have you ever been to a NASCAR event? It's an awesome experience and it's more than just cars going around a race track. It is a HUGE adrenaline rush to be at one of these events and to hear those cars roar by you. There is plenty of strategy between drivers involved while watching a race.
It may not be your cup of tea but you're essentially calling me a redneck inbred by your comments. Well, suprise! I'm not a redneck. Most rednecks I know don't drive 2007 BMW .645i's nor do they like take yearly trips to Europe and other parts of the world to experience various cultures like I enjoy doing.
Simply put, you don't have to be a redneck who likes to sleep with their sister to enjoy NASCAR. I'm very surprised by your comments to say the least. It's shit like that that causes you to be one of more hated people on GETbig. Put your brain in gear before you disengage your mouth, k?
Hope all this helps. ;)

To each his own, I guess. I suppose admiring oily, roided out men in speedos flex on a stage is more your speed.
It's cool. Everybody's into their own thing. ;)

Wow, this thread really offended you. Whether you like it or not most people perceive NASCAR fans as rednecks.

very well said GUTS!
i use to be the same way, i did not like it and thought it was stupid. but i slowly came around and now i'm hooked.
there's nothing like going to a race and have those cars go by at 200 mph!
Wow, this thread really offended you. Whether you like it or not most people perceive NASCAR fans as rednecks.
you're right, there is a stereo-type and there are alot of hardcore redneck fans. but most of the fans are just average joe's.
most people i talk to think BB's are self-absorbed, shriveled nut muscle heads who couldn't count to one using a calculator.
to each his own.

I am overfuckingwhelmed with the lack of original subjective opinion here.
Denial isn't a river in Egypt, boys! Your tunes would drastically change if you ever went to a live NASCAR event.
Oh well, can't save you all! ;)

i know my tune changed. i'm tapping a vein on NASCAR now.
i don't understand why people must degrade someone or something they don't like or understand.
immaturity maybe?? i guess it makes them feel cool.
Hey Guts, do you still follow racing? Who's your driver??

i'm a die-hard stewart fan myself, since his rookie year.
i was at the 600 too! my wife is a huge kasey kahne fan and she had a blast watching him win at her first race.

No. It was more directed at Alexx because he likes to slam every sport outside of bodybuilding. He's quick to make fun of MMA as being "gay" because dudes roll around on a mat pummeling each other. So my retort was that he'd much rather gawk at oily muscle bound men in underwear prancing and posing on a stage instead.
Which is entirely true.

NASCAR evolved from Moonshine runners. Thing is most of Nascar fans drive cars that are technically more advanced than the cars they watch racing. A rear ladder suspension? Come on, that is ancient.
Even the King himself, said that NASCAR has to remain low tech, and should not be high tech, and that entertainment is most important. So, its the entertainemnt value, not the racing that is important.
That is the reason why the cars are painted bright colors (with splashes of TIDE, SPLASH, DEWALT)
1st and formenost:Entertainment
2nd, Racing, which why they run around in circles. Easier to pack mor people in a Circus Maximus style arena than have a race track like Leguna Seca or Sebring.

I'd rather watch bass fishing on espn or attend a wnba game.

i'll agree.
NASCAR has evolved into a very high-tech game. and the gap between the high dollar teams and the low level teams is widening farther every year. which is making for less competition.

I like nascar alot. The bud shootout last night was pretty good although I didnt get to see it I listened to it on sirius. People dont understand how technical it is. Think about it you are going 180mph about 2 inches away from each other, and then bumb drafting, trying to get someone to work with you to get to the front. Man nascar is great. I am glad the season is back. something to do until football season starts back. I am also from NC and pretty every where you go around here on a sunday or some saturdays that is all you see or hear about. So you either have to like it or just not know what is going on.

my man stewart dominated and won, as usual. i think this is his year for the 500.
i am sooo glad racing is back too. football and racing is about on the same level for me. as far as going to a football game or a nascar race, there's nothing like going to a race. makes football look boring.
43 cars with 800 HP goes by you at 180, man that'sthe greatest! ;D
scooter, who's your driver??
-
In person, Nascar rocks. Have to BE there in person for the crowd, the scene, the intensity, the noise. :D
All of that lost on TV, where it's somewhere between bowling & syncronized swimming. Only with the right camera placement, one down in the pit most of the time, and a very big-screen TV and surround-sound system, you could get part of it.

I got a couple I like Gregg Biffle alot I think he will be a great driver soon. Casey Kahne (sp?) Kevin Harvick and dale Jr. I was always a big Dale Sr. fan to. I would have to say my fav. is kevin harvick or casey kahne.
What do you think about the Toyotas this year?

don't like the toyotas. i guess i'm a traditionalist. needs be all american. i'm ok with the toyotas in the truck series, but not the cup. it's not going to matter though when they bring out this new car of tomorrow. which i absolutely hate.
biffle's good, my wife is a huge Kasey Kahne fan so i guess i am too a little. tony stewart is my die-hard fav., if i had to pick me a #2 driver, i would say kyle busch. i know, he's young and cocky but that boy can drive a race car. he's going to be one of the best in a few years.
not the same without Dale Sr. i never was a huge earnhardt fan but his fan base was the sport. i know of a lot of people who just won't watch any racing since he's gone.

i'll agree. sometimes a race can get long a drawn out and even more so if your driver is out. that really sucks. but when your driver is battling for the lead with 5 laps to go, man that makes for some good TV. i'm tearing my ceiling down ;D

i have no problems with some types of racing. i would have respect for it if it was a race from point-a to point b, over varying road courses using any type of modified car you wanted, but watching 50 cars identical in appearance, performance and everything else drive in a cement circle 500 times is just stupid.

I like all kinds of racing nascar is good because you never know whats going to happen. someone could wreck and mess up everything you thought was going to happen. I did like old racing better where you had to build the fastest car to win. But now it is better because it all depends on the skill of the driver. Look at top fuel drag racing those cars are exactly the same (minus a few small details) the motors are regulated the wheel base everything like that has rules. The only true racing where the fastest car wins is heads up drag racing. It is not as popular becasue you can pretty much tell who is going to win.

although i love those cars and would love to drive one, those races are what's boring. they get on those long road courses and get soooo spread out that there is absolutely NO competition.

Wrong. Nascar is very popular in California, the southwest and the Northeast. Its getting big everywhere in the USA.

Nascar has found the formula. People laughed at the sport years ago. Even if you aren't a fan people know about the Earnhardt's the Petty's. Jeff Stewart etc..

If they could put overtaking in, it would be good. But these cars are some serious pieces of tech. Better HP to weight ratio than a Nascar stocker (Nascar stockers weigh 3,500 pounds???) With F1 the name of the game is downforce. ANd lets not forget the one of the best drivers of all time, up there with Prost, Fangio. Totally a diff league. Plus the amount of money that the winning teams spend just to DEVELOP a car...shit loads
Now Nascar should go back to its roots, true cars derived from actual production cars. Ever heard of a rear wheel drive Taurus? Never existed, but in NASCAR it did. Imagine if you could go to the Chevy dealer and get the performance Imapala SS (provided it had a RWD platform)
The German DTM series is more true to Stock car racing than NASCAR is...That is a shame.
-
DTM is a sick racing league, It's either that or F1 that I watch.
-
I think watching F1 is way better then NASCAR, I mean these guys go through turns at well over 100MPH and hit 200+ on staights easy. Watching them go through turns in slow motion is crazy, so much precision and timing is needed to race in F1.

F1 is cool, I am a bigger fan of f1 han nascar. That said, I would say there is more precision needed to drive nascar. The turns are tricky in f1, but in nascar they make every move in a pack going 190. I am not trying to say nascar drivers are better then f1 drivers. To race at 190 mph in a pack of cars takes some serious driving ability.The f1 cars are technical marvels. A nascar is much less sophisticated then a f1 car. You have to pick your poison with a nascar. You can make the car faster, but to do that you have to sacrifice handling. You can make the car handle better, but you have to sacrifice speed. The cars are so even skill plays a huge role in the race. Not to say it does not in f1, but f1 cars are wayyyyyyyy more technically advanced. Not saying nascar drivers are better, just pointing out that a nascar is like a suped up mustang, compared to a suped up enzo. Both could have 800 horse, but the enzo is wayyyy more advanced.

You could argue with that logic, the driver with the best car and the most money ( not necessarily the most skill) could win. I would rather see even cars racing. Shows who the best driver is.
I think some people forget how extreme it is to do anything at 185 mph. Nevermind race in a big pack of cars. 185 mph is crazy fast. Anyone who has ever done only 150 in a car knows what I am talking about. That speed does not translate on the tv. Hence, a lot of the extreme nature of the race is lost.
That said, road racing is just as boring as nascar. I love f1, but when watched on tv, it is boring as sin. Have to be there to "get it" , imo

Isn't all the fuss about how Toyota out spends teams, to the point of f ing up things with the other sponsors and there teams?
-
my man stewart dominated and won, as usual. i think this is his year for the 500.
i am sooo glad racing is back too. football and racing is about on the same level for me. as far as going to a football game or a nascar race, there's nothing like going to a race. makes football look boring.
43 cars with 800 HP goes by you at 180, man that'sthe greatest! ;D
scooter, who's your driver??
Now don't go to far!!
