has anybody died yet?

 

[Dr Dave]

No.

 

[Homo Erectus]

THEN WHAT GOOD IS IT?

 

[Dr Dave]

It's about the racing.

 

[Homo Erectus]

If there aren't no burnt entrails on the track it ain't a race.

 

[Loktar]

has anybody died yet?

I don't want them to die but some crashing would be nice.

 

[Dr Dave]

There has been crashing.

I like the crashing.

When are they going to start using electric cars or hybrids?

The clock is ticking on this sport.

NASCAR is one of the most viewed professional sports in terms of television ratings in the United States. In fact, professional football is the only sport in the United States to hold more viewers than NASCAR.[5] Internationally, NASCAR races are broadcast in over 150 countries.[6] NASCAR holds 17 of the top 20 attended single-day sporting events in the world,[7] and claims 75 million fans who purchase over $3 billion in annual licensed product sales. Fortune 500 companies sponsor NASCAR more than any other motor sport,[8] although this has been in decline since the early 2000s

NASCAR is alive and strong.

They need to start using rocket cars.

^^To be fair (and I'm NOT a NASCAR fan, 'cause I don't think squirrel, deer, possum, and #### make up the food groups), I think the decline in corporate sponsorship is more a side effect of the global economic meltdown than a decline in the sport's popularity.

 

[Dr Dave]

The sport is pretty darn popular. I think BDM is right on that.

 

[Big Dick McGee]

Yeah, but it's unwatchable. I try to tune in to the Daytona 500, and the races in Fontana (only 'cause I live in Fontana), and with all the wrecks and cautions, it gets boring. I'd honestly rather watch road course racing, but it seems like they only do that in Europe.

My older sister got hooked on NASCAR because she wants to have the sex with Jeff Gordon.

She is the sole NASCAR fan in the family. And we're East Coast white trash! We all belonged to bowling leagues and everything. SWEARTAGAWD.

 

[Dr Dave]

Yeah, but it's unwatchable.

I disagree.

I watched the whole thing and had a pretty good time.

It can be boring sometimes, but so can a lot of stuff.

The finish at this years was cool.

This 20 year old won, it was (I hope I am getting this all right) his second start in the NASCAR Sprint Cup, and he was the second youngest to ever win the 500.

 

[Loktar]

Does this 20 year old have a name? Being a fan of NASCAR you really should know the names of the drivers.
