I don't get guys that hammer NASCAR as not being racing. I mean, you let me know how easy it is to 160 mph through banked turns while touching guys on both sides. I'm not a fan of the buddy-system racing stuff, but Formula One is significantly more boring. I say this as a person much more inclined to keep up with Formula One than NASCAR. This weekend was the first NASCAR race I've watched in a looooong time. Formula One is a race to turn one on lap one, then a 90 minute parade. We went to the last U.S F1 GP and that was exactly how it went. "Oh who made it to turn 1 first?" "Oh he did? Let's go home." I'm just interested in F1 for the hardware. As far as racing goes, it's a total bust.
My favorite part about NASCAR is that it's undoubtedly the number 1 hillbilly sport of all time, and yet in the hood, NASCAR gear is a big time business. I'd be willing to bet that NASCAR doesn't draw 10,000 viewers inside the city of Detroit, but man do those M&M's jackets fly off the shelves! :lol
So, are you goin' to Indy this year?? 100 years and they finally appear to be headed back to relevent racing. Ford not in the mix yet.
