A very popular motorsport in the U.S.A,but it doesn't hold a candle to motocross or Off-roading(Dune buggys,trohpy trucks,ATVs etc.). At least it's more entertaining then watching people play poker on t.v, talk about boring.
T.V. announcer: The Nascar Nextel Cup series @ 6 only on Fox sports.
Me: No thank you i'd rather watch the Baja 1000 on the speed channel.

Get the nascar mug. A sport in which real men drive 800 HP beast, in 110 degree enclosed race cars. Where more than just left turns happen. As spotters help the driver around the race track. notifying the racers.. who is passing them.. where there are cars stopped on a track. or where to go when there's an accident on track. Pit crews Turn out 13-16 second pit stops changing 4 tires with a convetional jack, air wrench and add fuel by using a large gas can that can contain 10 gallons. The use of stereo types like rednecks or Hicks, hillbillies or others were offensive in the 70-80s.. but not today. NASCAR is no longer a Redneck/ Hick sport. And to all who dont like it. Dont bother bashing it. plain and simple. F1 Has its down sides. A carousel of left and right turns... where passing is a rare occasion. Where the pole sitter finishes where he started And never moved a single position in the race. Indy Also makes left hand turns on ovals as well... And thats any better? Its just as boring as you claim NASCAR is. Not to mention its the longest most enduring Venue in any motorsport. 41 weeks a year NASCAR teams prepare, and race. And with only Three breaks a season. Most drivers do over 60 races a season in NASCAR. From racing in the NASCAR Sprint Cup series, NASCAR Nationwide series, and NASCAR Craftsmen Truck Series. Not to mention the lack of traction a stock car can have. AND.. NO DRIVING ASSIST (points fingers at Formula 1) Stock cars have no traction control. Pit speed limiters, stability assist... Nothing. Not even A MPH Gauge or Fuel Gauge. Speed in NASCAR is measured by TIME, and RPM, Fuel is measured by a Fuel Pressure gauge. NASCAR May have its downsides. But People who insult are no better. think twice before you speak. and choose your words carefully.
The coca cola 600 is a 600 mile race at the lowes motorspeedway. Its the longest race in the NASCAR scheduel. The race can take up to 6 hours. and The drivers physical states are pushed to the limit. Hydration is a major factor in NASCAR. Just ask Matt Kenseth. Point is. It takes real men to drive a vehicle that you have no control over and to race in that vehicle for 4 hours in a 110 degree racecar is true endurance.

Get the NASCARmug. The greastest form of motorsort in the world. Features real drivers with actual talent who drive cars without traction control, stability control or ABS. Popularized by drivers such as Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and the late NASCAR legend, Dale Earnhardt.
NASCAR is looked down upon by fans of other motorsport (such as F1) for not being "sophisticated" enogh. Look, in nascar, its driver against driver, not car against car. And the pole sitter is hardley ever guarenteed the win, unlike in F1 where whoevers on the pole ALWAYS wins.

Actually a grueling auto sport that has a tremendous following of fans in the U.S.A.. Recently involving a shift of sponsorship availability that reflects the current economic mindset of corporate "thinktanks" and the American "public".; Doom and gloom,with but a few optimistic patriots left, the future of the hetero sport hangs in check. Evolved from "politically incorrect" sponsorship from beer and cigarette manufacturers,to cell-phone and insurance giants. Next step ; The Playtex Cup, or The GentleGlide Cup. MANUP !

Get the NASCARmug. The best sport consisting of racing on every level with Nextel Cup as the premiere division, Busch Grandnational Series and Craftsman Truck Series are also the premiere series of NASCAR. NASCAR Touring Series are the Featherlite Modifieds Division, Busch North, Winston West, Kodak Southeast Series, Raybestos Northwest Series, and Goody's Dash Series. NASCAR also owns the NASCAR Weekly Racing Series presented by Dodge which is hosted at hundreds of racetracks each year.
NASCAR is longer and more exciting than Drag Racing

Get the nascarmug. ummm actually they are athletes. they have physical training and stuff to make them be able to take shoving the wheel left (and right if they're spinning out or on a road course or spinning out ON a road course). also, try sitting PERFECTLY still for 4 hours or not getting whiplash. these guys are in shape. Mike Waltrip runs 3 miles a day. others work out.
it's also a team sport. do they get out and change their own tires??? NO. pit crew. people that build their cars. all kinds of teamwork, driver is just the most glamorous position on the team.
and rednecks??? Kurt Busch is from Las Vegas. Tony Stewart (the best of all) is from Indy. there are tracks in CA (2), NV, NH, NY, KS, AZ, PA, MI, and other non-southeast-redneck states.
most motorcycles can't go 210MPH on talladega like Bill Elliot did... they could only do maybe 150 AND scrape off a kickstand.
and you say "circles". no "Ovals (rockingham)", "tri-ovals (talladega, daytona)", "d-shaped ovals (michigan)", "quad-ovals (atlanta)", "egg-shaped ovals (darlington)" and "triangles (pocono)". Indy is really a rectangle, but it's called an oval.
now for the Hypocrites... ok so FAST CARS are cool. STICK SHIFTS are cool. WINNING is cool. DRAG RACING (straight line... MORE boring than "Circles") is cool. but NASCAR isn't?
ok maybe there are too many ads on wheels, but you can't honestly deny that these guys are good. YOU try it... see how long YOU last. just any old car won't hold up... the specialized cars sometimes can't cut it. like when they get loose and spin out. or like when the engine dies. or when the car just plain SUCKS (like Dale JR. @ Las Vegas, Spring 2004)
actually WATCH a race and find out what really goes on under the hood and all around before you go "rednecks" or "pussies". i suggest Talladega or Martinsville if you even read this far.
