I mean for cryin out loud, Jr drives a dang Budweiser car around the track every single weekend. Are you corporate, clean cut, cookie cutter "blowhards" complaining about that? NO
So stop spending so much time complaining about Stewart and miss us with all the bull****.

I wish he had enough points to be able to tell NASCAM what he really thinks

Default Diehard fan here

I love all kinds of auto racing. I follow NASCAR the closest.

It always amazes me how some people just can't say they don't like NASCAR. They feel they have to use the outdated stereotyping words like "redneck" "toothless" "uneducated".

Here's an example of a fan for you...world reknown Orthopedic Surgeon likes Ryan Newman because of the high level of Engineering degrees both he and his team has.

You don't have to like it. You don't have to "get it".

You also don't need to insult those who do.

Go Hamlin!!!

Nascar is NOT a sport, so why is it even in the sports section?

When it comes to auto racing, I would perfer Formula1, I used to like NASCAR when I was young, but now I've gotten quite bored with it. And yet, I happen to live in NASCAR country, darn.

Allow me to repost verbatim what I've already said once in this thread:

I don't care much for NASCAR, but I don't think you have any idea just how much athleticism it takes to wrestle that steering wheel in a 3,000+ pound car generating an additional several hundred pounds of downforce as you try to hold a very precise line at 200mph where a few inches off your line could cause an 8-car crash, fighting G-forces that would cause some people to black out, inside a car that's 135 degrees while you're wearing a flame-retardant suit for 3 hours. NASCAR drivers can lose as much as 10 pounds in a SINGLE RACE from dehydration, and yet they still have to stay alert enough to do all the stuff I just described. Try it some day and tell me these guys aren't athletes.

I can't stand NASCAR. The Races are rigged (by use of fake debris cautions to bunch up the field) and they last far too long. I do, however, love Formula 1, IRL and Champ Car.

Myself and Tony Stewart would agree with you. NASCAR and WWF(E) whatever it is, are in the same league. Now if we can get half naked women(like WWE) to wave all the different flags for NASCAR in a cage instead of that flag stand, they can have all the cautions they want. OINK OINK!

Not a fan now, but they're building a track nearby, so who knows?
