What is Nascar all about?

[on]

If you are a nascar fan, can you please explain what is it all about?

I'm not trying to say I think it's rubbish, but from my perspective (I only get to watch highlights at 3am) it just seems to consist of turning left and then a crash, then back to the turning left.

It's about the hair on the back of your neck standing up in anticipation of seeing a crash.

so it is just about the crashes then? the commentary guy does seem always like "Oh No there's a crash on turn four" (if there is a turn four?) but it always sounds more "Oh Yes!" than "Oh no"

Yes, it's far inferior to Formula 1 where they don't pass at all and finish in exactly the same position as they started. That's how you build a recipe for exciting racing. Once you've seen the first lap, you can turn it off. Nothing is going to change during the next three hours...

Well kind of like Formula 1 but with different cars, fans, and tracks. Personally I like those cross country rallys like The Paris Dakar or even Cannonball Run

 

[BlueBalls]

It's just Banger Races on a grander scale.

Exact. A pointless experience if you would take out the crashes and the pushing the competition from the asphalt.

It's all about corporate sponsorship, shoving 3-4 hours of commercials up your ass. Featuring manly things like motor oil, pick up trucks and power tools. For the women, you have laundry detergent and mops. A nice cross section of America right there. :glugglug:

so it is just about the crashes then?

Pretty much. I don't even watch for that. I just browse youtube for good crash vids. NASCAR is fuckin boring ever since earnhardt died. He made it interesting to watch.

Restricter plates are a fuckin joke. All that does is bunch up the pack. So when there is a crash half the fuckin field spins down into the grass. Even the crashes tend to be less dramatic now. When the speeds were higher and the cars were more spread out the crashes were crazy! All these people whinning about how dangerous it is, yada, yada, yada. Everyone who drives knows the risks involved. Shut the fuck up and race the way it was meant to be...wide open!!!

Everything necessary to say on the subject...:thumbsup:

For those who never drove a fast car as it was designed to be driven...as fast as you can...watching a race is a pointless exercise in using an empty imagination.
Anyone else knows why they watch any sport...except Women's beach volleyball. (That's 'cause guys like to think about pussy...!)

This is what it's all about. Civilian safety.

What is Nascar all about?

1. Jimmie Johnson dominating
2. Dale Earnhardt Jr. being the red-neck's messiah
3. Danica Patrick being so overrated she makes being punched in the balls a fun alternative to watching

 

[gunslingingbird]

NASCAR is about rednecks watching rednecks in fast cars repeatedly go around a track for hours at a time. :thumbsup:

 

[lurkingdirk]

It is an excuse for guys with big stomachs and small dicks to drool over the accomplishments of other men.

And by accomplishments I mean the ability to make a machine go fast around a track.

I have always wanted to see "Team Vagisil," driven by a gay Japanese post-op omni-sexual win, however.

 

[~~whimsy~~]

I always loved GTA IV's parody commercial of the Patriot Race 500. One of the slogans was: Where you will watch a bunch of shits race around in a circle 500 times! Something like that, it was hilarious, though.

 

[LaLiLuLeLohan]

Left turns.

 

[Bonezstorm]

If the real NASCAR is that boring, I really hope they make it better in Gran Turismo 5 :1orglaugh

 

[D-rock]

It's even more saddening when you realize that NASCAR has gotten worse over the years and even a lot of the old fans of it don't like it anymore,...and it wasn't exactly great before.

Drafting.

But if you want to watch real racing, tune in to the American Le Mans series
