NASCAR is non-athletic? Try driving at 190 MPH is a non-air-conditioned car in the midst of 42 other cars for three to five hours. Have you never noticed that there are no fat NASCAR drivers? If you're not in tip-top shape, you won't survive the NASCAR circuit. Ever driven the ring road around Atlanta during morning or afternoon drive time? Now multiply that speed by two or three....


Please do not try to hold the city of Atlana up for your trophy. The idiots who live there were paralyzed by 3.5 +/- a millimeter of snow! If there is a city in this country that should be held in contempt for lack of intelligence it is Atlanta!

Kasey Kahne weighs about 134 lbs and runs marathons! He can lose up to ten pounds in water during a race! How do I know that, we are from Enumclaw WA and know the family!

Children, there is more science in car that races in Nascar than you can possibly comprehend. Personally I like Nascar, but love the road races. Haven't seen either race in years. Rather be fishing

Fishing keeps one well rounded.

Too bad this thread has degenerated into unfortunate name calling and innuendo. To the original point:

NASCAR is a complex sport. Although NASCAR mandates a tight set of standards to which all race cars must adhere, the variables are many. Strategy is always in the mix. And there is always the likelihood that multi-car crashes will drastically alter a race's outcome. This weekend's Coke Zero 400 at Daytona was shaking out to play out in one way and two successive big crashes - and insistent rain showers - totally changed the outcome of the race.

Many people, and I am one of them, do appreciate the intense drama inherent to NASCAR racing, while others prefer open-wheel racing (Indy Car, Formula One, Grand Prix) and other equally serious fans prefer the explosive burst of drag racing. Neither of these forms of racing appeal to me

Tons of fans live for basketball, NBA and NCAA, etc.. Some are thrilled by soccer. I cannot endure either, but I am not gonna put anyone down who does enjoy such things. I watch some NFL football, but I prefer NCAA college ball.To each his or her own.

I know many who scratch their heads when they see someone spend thousands of dollars on DSLR rigs when one can take a perfectly acceptable photograph with a smart phone.

Whatever floats your boat, pal.
Too bad this thread has degenerated into unfortuna... (show quote)

Yeah, just a little! I lived in Charlotte for 20 years and had the opportunity to attend several races at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

How many watch NASCAR just to see a crash? Watching five spins around the track is about as much fun as watching paint dry or grass grow. Just another reason to get drunk and obnoxious.

Sorry, you pull that shit at the track you will be escorted to the parking lot! You are confusing that with a liberal political rally!
