    Is there a more stupid sport than????
    Nascar Racing.. i mean really.. i don't get it.. how can anyone waste a sat afternoon watching this crap? I swear i'd rather sit home for 3 hrs and watch paint dry on the walls. It's more exciting..

    i swear, i don't think i have watched more than 29 seconds combined of nascar in my whole life combined.. 3 seconds while turning channel in 2005, 4 more seconds in 2001 while turning channel, another 4 seconds of it while i was in a sports bar in 1998 and the guy was changing stations to put on hockey game for the whole bar.. etc....

    how can anyone watch this crap? i just don't get this sport.. cars going around in circles for 3 hrs or so..

    what is so fun about that? i'll never understand what people are thinking of when they tune in to this crap.

    What makes people watch this shit? Do we have more than 4 people at sbr that watch this crap?

    Love it Nicky, you hit it right on the head here. A bunch of hicks going to a race track to watch cars drive around in circles for hours. That is why Talladega Nights is so funny because that movie made fun of the truth.

        These would be Bush voters Nicky. They call themselves Nascar Nation. They drape themselves in the flag while cleaning their guns. Then they lay down their gun on the folded flag and proceed to pull out their hardons and enjoy watching a bunch of guys make left turns for three hours yelling "hehaw did u see that one turn honey?"

            nicky, i think you need to sit down with your girlfriend and express your concern about the way she is making you act lately. nicky, i know this is not you. my guess is that she has just pushed you too far and you cant find a way to be happy. even beating the books doesnt make you happy anymore.

            all these bullshit challenges and ragging on the NCAA and now nascar... you have become an angry old man and its no fun for us. nicky, you are here to coach us and help us beat the books. lately, you have just been beating us up. i blame the girlfriend nicky, if im wrong, im wrong. i dont think i am. nicky, we can create a support group for you if needed. let us know.

              Other than the crashes, it is pretty boring and a waste of time in my opinion.

                  raymond,

                  stop being a wiseass.. seems like every single poster here agrees with me.. you're the only one.. this sport is stupid. if i watch 2 min of it, i will need a barf bag because i will puke from being so nauseous seeing those cars go in circles..

                  raymond, you must be some hick if you are mad that i am talking about this.. maybe you are a big nascar fan..

                      I think you have to be a fanatic of cars in order to enjoy Nascar. I have a friend that is a small time racer and after watching him put in long hours in tweeking the motors and fixing up the body ect ect...I really found a new appreciation for the "sport". I still dont watch nascar but I do go to his races every once in a while. If its a close race, its pretty fun.

                        I'm an auto racing fan. I like open-wheel better than the taxi cabs, though.

                            nah nicky, i may watch a few minutes of the big races only cus my brother is a redneck fireman and has parties with a lot of food for them. the sport is boring as fukk to watch but i remember when i was 16 and my girlfriend lived almost an hour away out in the country. i was in such a rush to get out there to get some pussy, i would pretend i was in a nascar race. hey, i was 16.

                                  Nascar has probably the most uneducated fan base out of any sport, fans are lucky if they even know how to multiply. Nascar fans have a high rate of domestic abuse and alcoholism also. It has its place in society though because it relates to poor America or working America.

                                    Best thing about Nascar is the commercials for TomTom GPS System.

                                        I doubt it. To obscure, but love to spend a Saturday night at the local tracks.

                                              Nicky, u ever see those guys with numbers on their trucks? I never could figure out what that meant until a buddy of mine pulled up once and i had to ask him. He told me in order to be a fan u need to have "your guy" same ****ers hangs those set of nuts on their bumpers also. Grown men hanging nuts off their trucks. To me i would think they were a little light in the loafers hanging that shit on the back of a truck.

                                                Sick Gambler, I'll bet you've never worked on a car before? A college educated puzzy like you can't even change your own motor oil or even fix a flat tire, I bet. How sad is that?

                                                Can Sick Gambler change his own motor oil?

                                                Yes +750
                                                No -1150

                                                Can Sick Gambler change a flat tire?

                                                Yes +450
                                                No -600

                                                A silver spoon fed puzzy like you never had to work on their own car. You pay someone else because you have no clue how a car works.

                                                Racing, either by foot, horse or car has been around for a long time and will be here for a long time in the future. Some people like it, some don't.

                                                Nascar is an awesome sport. 43 cars going 190mph for 3 hours is very exciting, in my opinion. The pit strategy, fuel strategy, team work, crashes, caution flags, 100,000 plus fans in attendance, side by side racing outdoors, beer drinking, barbecuing, all good stuff.

                                                Sick Gambler, I fully understand why a silver spoon fed, college educated puzzy, who can't change a flat tire doesn't like Nascar. That doesn't make it stupid.

                                                Posting as Nicky Santoro and posting how great Sick Gambler was and how much of a legend Sick Gambler was is STUPID. It's STUPID Sick Gambler and it's also ego-driven. Are you that starved for attention Sick Gambler?

                                                  I actually don't mind NASCAR. Not bad to watch on TV. I should try betting it I bet it would be even better.

                                                    NASCAR is not a sport.

                                                      Fiveteamer, bet a few driver to driver matchups and then watch the race. It makes a big difference.

                                                        I challenge Sick Gambler to actually go to a Nascar race and then come back here and say it's stupid!!!

                                                        Nascar racing is good stuff Sicky G. !!!

                                                          Pavy, you wouldn't last 500 laps at Bristol. You would be wore out after 200 laps.

                                                            I'm a college-educated pussy who won't change his own oil but I like Nascar and most forms of auto racing. You have to get into the little details to enjoy Nascar, fuel/pit strategy, setups, ec. Most people don't realize how stupidly dangerous it is to drive 190mph, sandwiched from all 4 sides between other cars doing the same speed. Nascar video games can give you a rough idea.

                                                            I wanna do the Richard Petty Driving Experience thing at Daytona at some point.

                                                              Nicky I have thought that same thing for decades now. Why is Nascar the popular racing sport instead of Indy? Indy has cars racing on tracks that are not just ovals. They are faster and quicker than Nascar cars. WHY NASCAR? It is the most boring thing on earth to watch, I can't even bare a close race and watching the final lap. I will watch half the lap and Gordon will be neck to neck with Dale Jr. and I think, WTF am I doing? I will change the channel and not care who wins.

                                                                True. These guys are decent athletes for the most part. The average Joe can not race for more than a couple dozen minutes at a time - you need to condition your neck muscles and most of your upper body to sustain 3-hour-race conditions.

It's amazing how many people go and watch a race, cars going around a circle for 4 hours doesn't seem like a fun afternoon to me. Love how drivers like Dale Jr and Tony Stewart changed cars/sponsors this year so the rednecks have to buy new shirts, hats, Jackets, etc...
