Dang manu I was all geared up for the 500 and then was disapointed , any race ending in a rain out stinks, and the fact that Jr. can still get away with the shit he pulls on the track just made me feel like it was a wasted day. I mean yesterday in the Nation wide race Lefler ( I think ) did the same thing Jr. did and had to sit for 5 laps, nascar needs to get more uniform with there penaltiesOriginally Posted by manu1959

I agree but dis agree with nascar punishing one driver but not the other, ooo well you know it will all come out in the long run, oo and by the way I half ass like JR. just don't like to see anyone get away with BS
Steelers in '23
I was pissed when they called it a day. JJ just got the lucky dog and was returned to the lead lap. And while he was 31st, he had nearly 50 laps to move up through the field.

didn't see the other race......but i hate people that block.....vickers was about to get his doors blown off.....karma is a strange thing .... didn't vickers punt his own team mate last year in the same way ....
if you are going to block a guy going 10 miles per hour faster than you don't you expect to get hit.....

Hell manu 2 years ago ( Vickers only win )vickers wrecked Jimmy Johnson when JJ went to pass JR on the last lap at talladega and JR tried to block , JJ was still able to get around but Vickers ran into JJ and got him sideways and into JR , lol he wrecked his own team mate to get his 1 and only win.
Vickers in my eyes is a want to be driver and I don't care for the blocking either , but the blocking has been going on for a long time.

LOL I feel the same way about Kyle Busch, hell he is exciting to watch, he isnt afraid to try anything, I would say he will slow down after a bad wreck but he's been there done that, LOL, he will get a championship very soon I am sure.

Can someone please explain the appeal of car racing? Why are so many folks enthusiastic about watching cars drive in a circle for 2 or 3 hours at a time?
Obama is the anti Christ
gab I use to feel just the way you do, then I watched it for a bit, it isn't just going in circles for 2 or 3 hrs it is going in circles at 190 plus MPH for 2 or 3 hrs it is changing 4 tires fueling up and making adjustments to the car in 14 seconds.
Then ya have all the diffrent personalities , some drivers will wreck ya to win, others will throw there car around at 190 mph to manuver around another.
Then there is actually going to a race , the atmosphere is unreal, movie stars , famous muscian 's , hell I went to ATL a couple yrs ago , the private jets never stopped coming in , they would land and then be shuttled by helicopter to get to the track.
Allot of ppl don't understand it gab but ever race draws the same attendance (if not more ) than the super bowl.
So give it a chance watch it a couple times it may grow on ya , but then again maybe it won't , you know diffrent strokes for diffrent folks .

The accidents, strategy and the last 100 yards.
The accidents can be really cool to watch unless someone gets hurt.
Believe it or not, racing is not just driving around in circles for three hours, there is a lot of strategy that goes into a race actually beginning even before the race begins with the set up of the cars and lasting all the way through the end of the race.
But the best part of any race is the last 100 yards when it is a close race! Nothing more exciting in sports, except football, than a photo finish at a NASCAR race.

Nascar is gonna take a big hit in Oregon. People won't be able to afford to watch it any more with the 1900% beer tax their legislature is proposing.

I watched the Daytona 500 once when I was in college. With a bunch of other people. Most were really excited about it, but I failed to grasp the appeal. Same with the Indy 500.
I have had people tell me that they care more about specific drivers than the race itself. My uncle was a huge A.J. Foyt fan, because he was a proud native Texan.
I might watch another race sometime.
I do love Danica Patrick though. Gotta love a flat chested celebrity. Makes me feel better about myself.

I like to watch the start of the race, then lay down with a good book until I fall asleep and open an eye whenever the crowd noise goes up. You see all the good parts of the race, enjoy a good book and catch up on the missing zzzzzzzzzzzz's
Of course, if you fall to far asleep you may miss some of the good parts, but then, there is always SportsCenter after the race.
