    Nascar gets as many viewers in the US as the NBA does.

    You are entitled to your opinion, of course.

        they even made a roller coaster in his honor at King's Dominion in Virginia. The coaster isn't anything spectacular though.

          NASCAR fans will consider this sacrelige, but Jimmie Johnson is better than Earnhardt Sr.

            Nascar is adored by the rednecks and Earnhardt embodied that personna about as well as anybody.

                  20 million a race Way off there kid, depending on which race it is and how many laps you lead the winner gets around a few hundred thousand dollars. They do have an all-star race in Charlotte for a million dollars.

                      I have that Nascar race recorded where Dale died. I'm into Dodge and that was their 1st year
                      back after 30 yrs. They were blaming Sterling Marlin for Dale's death and after watching the
                      replay, showed Dale was at fault (blocking). Dale always wore an open faced helmet. The
                      crash did look minor, but being so close to the steering wheel combined with an open faced
                      helmet was a recipe for disaster.

                      The best time to watch a Nascar race is the final few laps, it will put you on the edge of
                      your seat.

                      For those who never watched a race of any kind, live, should go to a major Drag race.
                      Each car making 8,000 horsepower, blasting 1,000 ft in under 5 seconds, vibrations go
                      through your whole being. The smell of nitro and burning rubber will give you the thrill
                      of a lifetime. Unlike Nascar, you can walk the pit's and get inches from the cars and
                      drivers.

                      In the early 70's I went to a major event and started drag racing ever since.
                      I have a dedicated drag car I race every week end. It's a blast.

                      I've also raced old Nascar style at my local dirt track. Build your own car and race
                      with 100 other guys for 100 laps is a blast and a half also.

                      I've been to Dover and drove the Monster mile in their Nascar cars 3 times.

                                If the Daytona 500 was a horse race Earnhardt would have been disqualified. He wasn't even trying to win the race. He was blocking traffic so that his teammate MW would win. I would rather bet on Northfield Park.

                                  one reason not to bet on Nascar, not every driver is out there to win the race.

                                    Michael Waltrip was not his teammate.

                                      Earnhardt owned the car. He was putting getting a win for his racing team over getting a win for himself.

                                        Coin toss competitions like NBA/MLB/NHL seem to be big in the US too, but does anyone outside US actually care about those sports?

                                          I'm a Nascar fan. --- I agree with you. You don't win 5 straight.

                                            Hard to believe someone from the US has never heard of Dale,cause it also means you have never been in a bar

                                              Yes cricket is No. 2, and that, indeed is, mostly because of its popularity in India.
                                              Fwiw Canada played in the cricket World Cup today (thrashed by Sri Lanka).

                                              You should look into cricket Nicky, lots of good betting spots!

                                              Who is we btw? Speaking personally I can just as easily watch a 50 over cricket match as an NBA or NHL game.

                                                      he owned the 2 cars that he was blocking for, Jr & waltrip. It was gonna be a 1-2-3 finish with him in 3rd. What makes it more fuked up is everyone had written mike waltrip off because he had been in nascar for years & had never won a single race. When dale signed him to drive his 2nd car everyone thought he was fukin nuts, but he knew mike was a good driver he just needed the money behind him to give him a competitive car.

                                                      So he gets his first victory of his career, its the biggest race of the year, and his fukin boss gets killed. Aint that about a bitch!!!

                                                        Plus, black people just arent into doing dangerous shit for fun like white people. Its a common stereotype that all the black comedians use for a laugh, but its fukin true

                                                          Yeah I guess your right. Black people are not into dangerous things like racing, boxing, parkour. Stop the shit. Some claim that riding motorcycles is dangerous. I had one and will get another, to ride, for fun. Some say scuba diving is dangerous, I have done it and know other blacks that do it as well. Hockey? Getting on the ice with 11 white guys with sticks. Come on now.

                                                          You don't think Motocross/Supercross is dangerous? You don't think James and his brother Malcolm don't love racing? You don't think their father loved it as well?

                                                              I have a hard time believing anyone in the US, over the age of 25 doesn't know who he is. I'm sure you would see his hats, stickers and so on in pretty much every 7/11. You know you will see it in Walmat, or know someone that has mentioned his name at least once. And there is no way you can have a drivers license in the US for more then a year without seeing the #3, intimidator or Dale Earnhardt on the back of a truck, car or on the belly of some 250 lbs man.

Some claim that riding motorcycles is dangerous. I had one and will get another, to ride, for fun. Some say scuba diving is dangerous, I have done it and know other blacks that do it as well. Hockey? Getting on the ice with 11 white guys with sticks. Come on now.

                                                                    You don't think Motocross/Supercross is dangerous? You don't think James and his brother Malcolm don't love racing? You don't think their father loved it as well?
