    That #51 car could be one to watch. Don’t care for either Busch but they drive the heck out of their stuff.

    I was born near Bristol (Abingdon, 13 miles to the north), grew up near Martinsville (Ferrum, 30 minutes north), and now live an hour from Bristol. I can’t stand NASCAR! The traffic it generates really sucks sometimes!

    What is this Nascar you speak of?

    Yawn, The sport used to be enjoyable, then they started catering to the band wagon JR. fans. The modern day whiney baby drivers can’t hold a candle to the real pioneers of the sport. Ego,s to easily bruised.

    I pretty much just watch for the wrecks. I unfortunatly was to young to remember anyone other than watching Dale senior about a month before he died. Would love to see the way it was when yarlburo and the woods brothers were batteling it out. Nascar claims they are trying to get back to that but I don’t see it happening.

    Being Kenseth is from my hometown, go 17!!! Other than that, when I am in the house I’ll take a peek to see what’s going on in the lead and where Matt is at, but then after that I would rather watch someone shape a 3 iron around the corner!!!

    Every now and then you can catch an old race on ESPN Classic. Today, If you take the stickers off the cars,you can’t tell the difference between them. I was never a big fan Dale Sr., But he was adamn good driver. I allways thought, that the day he died, NASCAR started dieing.

    Largest Fan base of ANY sport.

    So NASCAR says.Every one knows the fan base is fading. Check half way into the season and look into the stands.Don’t get me wrong, I used to love NASCAR, but as I stated earlier, they catered to Dale Jr.All the band wagon fans jumped on.Hes been voted fan favorite for 9 years. By doing what? He hasn’t won a race in 129 tries. Hence, those band wagon fans are loosing interest and falling by the wayside. The tracks are almost all cookie cutter tracks, The cars are all the same [can’t tell a chevy from a ford, from a dodge].I started watching racing when I lived in Virginia because that was basically the only sport people Knew what to talk about. Watching it deteriate to what it is now is sad.I’ll probably watch the 500, but that will probably be it.

    Is there still a stigma associated with NASCAR?

    Oh, yeah. They still love it up More and more, they are adding West coast and Northern races too. I know there was talk about even racing in Canada. They go to Mexico already…so…

    FWIW, I know there was a rumor about a NASCAR track in the Big Lake area, about 5 or 6 years ago… but it fell through with no guaranteed race there…

    Left turn, its another left turn, and its another frigging left turn… Its the only sport you can watch completely hammered…. Jeff Dunham has a great bit on it with the aforementioned. It is hilarious.

    What number is Danica driving? That is one of the ways I believe they are trying to get some of the fans back.

    Take this in the manner it is taken. A little good natured ribbing.

    “NASCAR is only for poor and stupid people. I don’t have what it takes.”

    “It’s like an oval. So we’re going to be drivin’ straight and turning to left sometimes.”

    Not much of a Nascar fan, but I am a huge Kyle Larson fan. Remember the name, you heard it here first.

    I honestly dont know who its for anymore. Pilgrim is right about all the cars looking exactly the same. Nascar says they are going to change that. I personaly would prefer to go watch a local dirt track race anymore. I think nascar would be alot better if they would make an outlaw series and let everyne race what they bring.

    Same can be said about alot of sports… run back and forth on a 100 yard piece of sod… try to run in circles on bases… run up and down a hardwood floor… hit a little ball down the grass and into the hole… I am sure you catch my drift. Watch a race like Sonoma or Watkins Glen, if you get dizzy watching the ovals

    exactly big. Its all just a matter of what is fun for the individual. I really dont understand how you would have fun with golf, but i aint knocking it. I would have more fun tearing up the carts though! lmao
