How did NASCAR ("stock car") get to how it is now?

NASCAR has been a joke since the 1970s. Anyone who disagrees is probably chewing dip, backing into traffic with their Chevrolet, and beating their pets.

All the while screaming "Earnheart was a legend!"

This coming from a guy that threw a beat up old primered corolla around a parkign lot buring off perfectly good tires....

See how dumb that sounds? That's what it sounds like when someone makes a dumb stereotype.

Not only has it not been a joke since the 70's, you were born in the 80's, so frankly, you don't really have any idea. Now what I bet you do know is that the stereotype of a NASCAR fan is roughly as you established.

However, I doubt that the long list of multi-million dollar companies that are involved with all forms of NASCAR would agree. SO no offense, i've been there, I doubt you've even been to a race, so you can understand why what you're saying is worthless in reference to this.

But, i've been wrong before.

I'll start calling all these Fortune 500 companies and I'll let them know what some guy in Atlanta that's into imports thinks about how they're wasting their money.

I'm not trying to argue about this, but what I am trying to do is show you guys that it's a lot more than you know. It's a fascinating, technology filled sport, which a lot of you obviously haven't had positive exposure to, which is why you make fun of it and don't understand.

Again, I ask people to read what I wrote on page 3 and try to understand why being "Pro-Motorsports" works out well for all of us in the end.
