NASCAR Fan - Yes or No? (sprint car, 2001, transmissions, United States)

Yes and no. They have changed the sport around so much it makes no sense any
longer.

Look at these two sites for two different racing series and post a conclusion.

NASCAR.COM

V8 Supercars - The Official Website of the Australian V8 Supercars Championship Series

Nope...not a fan at all. I'm not really a fan of any type of racing. I respect what it takes to drive a car though as well as the engineering required (being an engineer myself) but I just can't watch it for long enough to "get into" it. Now...I LOVE car racing games of all types.

We used to be big fans - we have been to several races - sat on the infields - been in the pits....we always used to say when we retire we're just going to get a camper and drive to every race.....visit the kids in the off season. Things have changes soooo much since Dale Sr. died - we just can't seem to stay into it anymore.

OP said this:


"Are you a fan of NASCAR?

1. Drive 200 MPH
2. Slow down
3. Turn left
4. Repeat 500 times

You can probably guess that I'm not."

And most other sports go back and forth back and forth. EW

Not a sport? What is it, then?

What section of the newspaper do they put the race results in? It sure isn't the business section!

Have you ever participated in the sport of auto racing? The pit crew and drivers are all athletes, and there's a strategy involved that you might not ever see if you haven't been involved. I definitely disagree about it not being a sport.

I've never watched more than two minutes of a race so I wouldn't pick up these things.

"The Lowe's car almost always wins at Lowe's Motor Speedway."

They save their best cars in hopes to win at a track your sponsors sponsor.

He also wins on tracks similar to Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Football teams statistically win more on their home field..........conspiracy?

I will watch practice, qualifying, rain delay re-runs of previous races. My husband does not get it. I can't get him to sit in the same room with me when the race is on.

Nothin like the smell of the track!

I do miss it, but its not the same anymore.

Formula One is far superior to NASCAR....There's no comparison.
