What is Nascar all about?

[mrtrebus]

It's about the hair on the back of your neck standing up in anticipation of seeing a crash.

What a horrible thing. Why not just follow ambulances around you ghoulish swine!

Oh yes, & wank off while watching the paramedics scrape the remains of what used to be a human being off the road. . .

Hmmm NASCAR, my translation for it is: The Bread and Circuses of this Century, now which way to the vomitorium I have imbibed too many libations.

Yep, when I have to many drinks I look for the exit too!

That actually would up the crash and fun quotient if they did drink.

Hmmmm.

I heard it's about gittin' 'er done!

I have no idea...but I'm guessing if you are drunk then, it is something to watch:dunno:

It isn't for everyone. Explain football to me. Baseball. Soccer. I enjoy a lot of sports, heck I have even tried to figure out Cricket. If you want to disparage a sport, go ahead. But it isn't going to change the fact some people enjoy it.

I don't really enjoy watching a woman getting her face forcefully fucked, but I am not going to sit here and ask why would anyone watch it.

I have been to many NASCAR races, I still watch it occasionally.

I know my diatribe here will fall on blind eyes (not deaf ears cuz it is written instead of spoken).

I'm not triying to disparage nascar, I just don't get the appeal from what I've seen.

I literally ask what is the attraction, as I personally haven't managed to see past the crashes and the turning left yet.

Essentially it's like watching a track meet. Except instead of a bunch of anorexics running around the track a set number of times, you have 43 rednecks driving around it.

 

[feller469]

Have you ever driven a car as fast as you can? Going around a turn? Ever done it with another car so close you can reach out your window and touch the other car?

The cars bump and bang, the drivers (used to) have personalities, and, like hockey, is much better in person.

Watching on Tv and listening to Darryl Waltrip and Larry McReynolds butcher the English language is tiresome, I agree. But if you go to a race, it is a different experience.

Re: What is Nascar all about?

Most everything previously aforementioned and more, you see, there is no better testing ground for cutting edge automotive technological advances than the physical testing and racing itself. Watch the Martinsville Va. race if it's still on the schedule and tell if you disagree. pic of 1/2 mile track

THIS is what NASCAR is all about - the perfect summary!

You are out of touch! That hasn't been true for over a decade. The real reason the old school (redneck) fans are so pissed off is because the are so few (<25%) of their "good old boys" left to root for. The dominating drivers of today are mostly from California and west & midwest states.

CAL: Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick, Robby Gordon, Boris Said, Scott Speed AJ Almendinger,
NV: Kurt & Kyle Busch
WA: Greg BIffle, Kasey Kahne
IND Tony Stewart, Ryan Newman, Jeff Gordon here too,

About the only top drivers from "the south" that are recent winners and may challenge for the Championship are Denny Hamlin VA, Jamie McMurray & Carl Edwards (although current in a slump) MO. Trust me none of them are Southern enough for the old fans.

Back to the original questions. Nascar Cup is the 2nd biggest sport in the US (behind NFL). It's the 2nd biggest Race series in the world (behind F1). Annually it's a billion dollar sport (Cup alone, not even counting the NW, truck or regional series) with more than $250mil in prize money. I don't like that 34 of 36 races are on ovals, but they have a lot of different size & shape ovals and the average race has more passing for the lead than a whole season of F1.

There's a lot going on in the races (although not always well covered by the broadcaster) and I don't watch it for the crashes. I've been a fan since '78 and if you asked me 20 years ago I would have put Nascar about 5th in my racing interests (behind F1, Indy, IMSA, Rallying) but over the years the others have self destructed in one form or another, so now it's my favorite. I still wish the would get rid of The %$!&^* Chase!

It is an excuse for guys with big stomachs and small dicks to drool over the accomplishments of other men.

Who was likely raised by his mother as if he was her daughter . . .
Here we go again, guys who actually like :uhem: guy things e.g high horsepower and darwin forbid! g-u-n-s, to name just two, somehow also have small johnsons. . .
Listen, what concern is it of yours what size dick a guy has . (?) . oh, I'm sorry, it's not a lifestyle choice, I apologize.

And by accomplishments I mean the ability to make a machine go fast around a track.

He never took a liking to guy things growing up, therefore . . :shy:

I have always wanted to see "Team Vagisil," driven by a gay Japanese post-op omni-sexual win, however.

umm . . .
nevermind, continue on with your needlepoint, crocheting, floral arranging and blathering generalities. :glugglug:

Going to a race is an awesome time. I don't follow it, and I couldn't name 5 drivers, but it's a blast. Beer, fried foods, excitement and beautiful, southern women. That is a recipe for success.

I'm more than likely on your ignore list but what the hell, your statement just reminded me of . .

NASCAR is about rednecks watching rednecks in fast cars repeatedly go around a track for hours at a time. :thumbsup:

And drinking heavily (the rednecks watching the rednecks that is)!

:thumbsup:

 

[HE1FiNEARTiST]

plain and simple america has the most boring sports, besides hockey and basketball. hockey use to be boring till they took that offside rule out. nascar? its fucking boring as a hog taking a shit on yer lawn. the old way was much better, yano sneaking that moonshine and running from the cops, fuck yea, i'd pay to see that shit.

 

[Asianlov69]

if you go to a race ... you will understand...
