What is the point of NASCAR?

[Torque Wrench]

NASCAR is a funny sport. You watch it on TV and think meh, not for me. I was the same way until I actually went to my first NASCAR event. The atmosphere, electricity in the air, smell of fuel and oil, the rumble of the engines, that high-pitched whine when the cars go screaming past you! At that moment, I thought what a COOL sport!

Go to a race (any race really), guarantee you'll change your mind.

How right you are!

Daytona 500 starts at 2:00, pre-show on now for those who are interested!
We should see the big one today, just hope nobody gets hurt.

I dont watch NASCAR, I only look to see who won. I find F1 more interesting but I dont like the cars that much.

Now IMSA, FIA road racing, Trans Am? Im your man.

I love watching the Daytona 24hours, Sebring, LeMans, Nurenburg, etc. I especially love the cars. I especially like the racers based off production models. Skyline GTR's, Saleen Mustangs, Saleen S7's, Porche's, Ferrari's, etc. I love the engine sound as they upshift and downshift, its like music.


Mihail your comments are not entirely off base. There are people who watch for the crashes.

There are however people who are devoted to NASCAR and have their favorite driver and watch the races with as much attention and devotion as NFL Superbowl fans.

This is especially true in the south where the majority of NASCAR tracks are.

I dont like nascar, crashes are the only thing that are good in it. hey, what can i say, i'm australian.

If you want some great racing, watch the V8 Supercars, now that is great stuff. Rally, F1, DTM, and Lemans stuff is also great.

I do

I used to watch the Craig Lowndes "Green Eyed Monster" Falcon XR8 race. Im not sure when the races are on anymore.

Im still pissed that Ford wont import the Falcon XR8 to the states. I would also like to see the Tickford DOHC turbo Inline six imported.

Don't turn right.

the point of nascar is to pollute, make noise, use fossil fuels, and entertain rednecks.
