i love watching old REAL nascar races. Where the owners would go to the dealer ship and pick up a Mustang or Road Runner and mod the hell out of it and take it to the track. different body lines, different motors, everything was different. Now, all the cars are the same. Hardly any lap passes b/c they stay in one big ass group. i dont like Nascar, never have never will. drag racing is for 5 seconds and that is more entertaining to me than the 4 hours on an oval track in nascar.

i cant say i have ever seen a mustang in a nascar race....it was def more exciting in someways in the past...it also exciting with the new technology but you gotta take the good with the bad. i think perhaps the racing may have been more action packed back in the day but with the technology of today the racing is actually better.
i only like it when they wreck but i dont like how they have high wings on the cars now it just looks stupid imo.
^^^ Says the guy who makes his living from Nascar... But he's right.
I personally will not watch Nascar on TV, but I am there everytime it comes to Atlanta. Because nobody knows how to promote and treat fans as Nascar.
Money. That's how it got that way.

All the debate aside...
If you've never been to a NASCAR race in person, it really is fun. I always tell people it's like taking a really fun college tailgating experience and stretching it over 3 days.
It's the sort of place where you can make friends anywhere, people are always willing to help, and you can always find youself a cold beer.

Sorry if I offended you Rut, I don't even really remember posting that..hmm..oh well. About Nascar, I don't have a problem at all with it (I've been to a couple of races at AMS myself) but agree with Anthony in that it's just boring (for me) to watch cars that all look the same and have no resemblance to what they're supposed to be drive around in a circle for 4 hours. Don't get me wrong, I know that there's a lot more to Nascar than I know and I respect all of the teams/drivers hard work but it's not my cup of tea. To each his own!!
Hey man... you didn't offend me... I just thought if that was seriously all you had to say it was a total waste of time. Please excuse the "You're a genius" feedback I left you.
As you notice, every dip**** on here jumped in long enough to say "NASCAR sucks" and leave without any thought process, so pardon my smart assedness

As a spectator I'll admit it's pretty boring, I normally always sit back and take a nap until the gasp's of the suddenly quiet crowd alert me there's an accident...then go back to sleep until the last 5 laps or so when the good racing begins
BUT really only 4 ways I'd fully enjoy the experience of Nascar:
1) In a drivers seat.
2) On a crew.
3) Photographing from track level.
4) In a suite with a beer girl riding me like it's her last time.
..and I'm gonna have to say those aren't in any specific order

Yeah man my bad and I did notice the people that didn't have anything intelligent to say and just leave. I honestly don't remember posting that..probably drunk

All I know is me and a group of friends made it to Talladega this year, and we had an amazing time. Now it was definitely due to the attempt to blend in with the masses (choice of language, actions, and attire) and lots of beer, but it was a great time none the less.
Note: I would not at all consider myself a fan of Nascar. And my friends and I are normally nothing like you see in the following picture (well except for the shotgunning beer portion).
The pic that sums it all up:
And I wouldn't say this necessarily sums up anything, just had to share it:
Absolutely
