Toyota's Reception into NASCAR

[civic95]

i love how most ppl hate on nascar but have no idea how hard it really is. its more than just turning left. if it was as easy as all the retards think then any jack ass with a ton of money could get into it and win races...we know this is not the case though. there are many ppl with alot of money and alot of experience that just cant do shit in nascar. if its so easy how come montoya is not leading the points? alot of ppl consider him to be a great racer with great talent.....but he is not doing great at all...avg finish position of 18th for the season. highest finish in the cup is 5th. its no suprise that the same ppl finish up top nearly every year..they have been in it and have figured it out. jeff gordon, jimmie johnson, tony stewart, matt kenseth..they are finishing well for a reason..not because its easy but becuase they have found out what works and how to drive these tracks(or how to turn left for the idiots that refuse to accept nascar as a sport).

as for toyota, man what a horrible start. and waltrip is just bombing here. but then again i dont think anyone here could do a better job. its hard to get started in cup racing. you dont just come on the scene and get it done. this should be the proof that its not easy right here...toyota..the one import company that is crushing ford, gm, and chrysler sales/service comes in here with all the money they have, all the knowlege from the craftsman series, and recruits some damn fine drivers...waltrip, jarrett, mayfeild, vickers ect ect...and they still cant do shit. half the time only 2 toyotas will even qualify. give them a couple years to get things going and they will be a force to reckon with. another thing slowing them down is the fact that they not only have to learn the regular car but also the cot....so they are learning 2 cars at once all while trying to be competitive

I totally agree with you man.

And to all the haters, nascar does have 2 road courses they race on. The main reason they don't have more is because of the lack of spectators. Some people will not go to a race that they can only watch 1 or 2 corners of. They want to watch the whole race. But yeah F1 and IRL are SO much better. That's why they are struggling to get attendance at races, and the TV coverage Nascar does. Or maybe the world is just full of rednecks. Yeeha

I wonder how many people worldwide watch F1 compared to worldwide NASCAR fans? And the Indy 500 IS the greatest spectacle in racing, if you've ever been you'll understand, and if not then you'll hate on it.

That being said, I'm not a big NASCAR fan. It bores me to tears but it still gets a lot of common people interested in cars and that in turn helps bolster interest in other racing series. All of you guys saying how easy NASCAR is, try running almost 200mph with inches between you and the cars surrounding you. It's kind of like watching the Navy Blue Angels fly in tight airshow formations; you've gotta have lots if skills and confidence in order to perform under such demanding conditions.
