Re: sports you just can't get into

Consider this.....Auto Racing as a whole is the most dangerous sport in the world. Now I know there are people out there who say NASCAR is just for a bunch of rednecks, and I am for anyone having an opinion, but when you can be ignorant to the fact that it may look boring and easy to "drive in circles" or "for people who can't drive", remember this, Juan Montoya can't hack it in NASCAR....He's a Indy 500 Champ and has won IRL Championships!! I don't care if you perfer Michael Shumacher in F-1 or whatever, thats fine but youcan't disrespect NASCAR drivers. Not to mention that NASCAR is the Fastest Growing Sport in the WORLD!!! I tell you I would like to see one of Europes Best against one of America's best on 4 different types of tracks see who really is the best.
Oh...forgot the sports I hate; I would have to say:
Soccer and Soccer and Soccer and oh and Pro Basketball (NBA)

I'm not a fan of Jeff Gordon but he can drive just about anything you put him in and be competetive along with Tony Stewart. Those two guys are GREAT racecar drivers. From Sprint cars to stock cars to Indy cars, they can drive them all with the best of them . I want to see one of those F1 stars run the Indy 500 and place in the top five then jump in a plane and fly to Charlotte and drive another 600 mile race in a stock car and place in the top 5 of that race also like Tony Stewart did a few years ago. I've been to many Nascar races including the Daytona 500 about 10-15 times and there is a reason why it is probably the most wanted trophy in an individual sport that you can find. To drive a 500 mile race on a track like Daytona and then have to drive a 500 mile race on a track like Bristol is night and day difference. You look at good road racers like Boris Said, he races to races a year in Nascar and does decent on the road courses but you put him on a super speedway and he can't even qualify for the field of 43 cars.

Re: sports you just can't get into

the only reason a vast majority of people watch NASCAR is for the crashes. god knows its not for the excitement of watching a group of cars make left-hand turns all day...

you know its true.

Can you explain how the Yankees for years in a row have had the highest payroll and always fail in the playoffs?

[thesightless]

Re: sports you just can't get into

i think i have explained that about 50 times, do a search

acn u explain how we are the most dominant sports franchise ever in any sport?(before we had the 01-06 payroll.)

Re: sports you just can't get into

Live for today Sean.

And i agree with Jeff, the only reason to watch Neckcar is to see if someone goes down in a firey crash. The more cars flipping into the stands the better imo.

Re: sports you just can't get into

its too easy to entertain simpletons, thats why Nascar is popular. middle america isnt exactly known for IQ points.

and if they wanna bring up how TS ran two races in two days....24 hours of lemans? hear of that one?

[Bryanw24]

Re: sports you just can't get into

Actually it was 2 races in a matter of 10 hours in the SAME day but go back to mid america IQ shit....

and if they wanna bring up how TS ran two races in two days....24 hours of lemans? hear of that one?

YEA actually i have and how many drivers does each team have? Talk about boring as FUCK!!!

"Usually, around 50 cars race simultaneously, in a number of different categories and classes. Current classes are LMP1 and LMP2, for "Le Mans prototypes" and LMGT1 and LMGT2, for Gran Turismo or "GT" classes. The overall winner is the car that covers the greatest distance in 24 hours of continuous racing. This rule appears obvious but the 1966 race saw a surprise winner, among the three Ford GT40s that were leading. Ford ordered the leading #1 car to slow down to let the #2 and the #5 cars catch up, in order to create a photo opportunity[1] with all three GT40s crossing the line 1, 2, 3, in a staged finish, only a few meters apart. Yet the #2 car that had covered the same number of laps (360) was pronounced the winner, as it had started further behind on the grid and thus covered a slightly bigger distance in the same time."


I think I'll pass

LMAO Have you seen the commercial on ESPN that shows a guy about to start mowing his lawn and he gets a flat tire and there is a bowling ball next to the mower and then it says "Sundays are for bowling"?

Re: sports you just can't get into

interesting side fact :

the PBA (bowling assoc) was bought out by 2 former Microsoft programmers who retired at the ripe age of 30, they ripped apart the rule book and encouraged "personalities" for the bowlers, and got sponsors on. they are now making cash hand over fist.

Re: sports you just can't get into
