a very misunterstood type of racing that is usually criticized by fans of other types of racing or
people that are just too damn
lazy to sit down and WATCH a
race (if you like other types of racing, you will be hooked afterwards, believe me).
idiot trailer trash rednecks have given this thrilling form of racing a very very bad image. Nascar originated in the south and east but has grown extensively to the West. most modern
day NASCAR drivers are not what you would call "rednecks"
Judging from most of these definitions,
people need to get the facts straight about the whole purpose of Nascar. no, its NOT an "excuse for a bunch of cousin fuckin inbreds to expose their
beer bellies and drink booze". and YES, it does take alot of
talent to fight a 800 horsepower, 4
gear manual 10,000 RPM rear wheel drive stock
car, finding traction with NO driver-forgiving computers (such as ABS or Traction control), through the corners fighting the bumps and wake turbulence of other drivers that are within 1 inch, going 4 wide at 200 mph.
Nascar is all about close, white knuckle racing. To the oval racing haters, it looks too easy. Nascar IS real racing. Road racing such as F1 is all about the driving. F1 drivers and NASCAR drivers have an equal amount of
talent. But I have nothing against F1, as they can manufacture some of the fastest cars known on earth, but they must whore them out with driver forgiving
aids.
consider this also. when they do races on road courses (Watkins Glen and Infineon) they have NO absolutely NO driver
aids! they have to be twice as careful with the brakes, not to lock them up, and have to fight the rear end from giving out on the corners with no traction control devices. and no they do NOT drive "30 mph" like that idiot
said. They do very very well throughout the course and do not crash. and since nascar is all about passing and racing close, they pass quite often.
Nascar is, and will never be understood or appreciated by non-fans. it is too stereotyped. if you are a
fan of racing in general, do yourself a favor and watch a Talladega
race sitting in the front row. you'll think twice.
If F1 raced on ovals such as Talladega superspeedway, and removed the driver
aids, that would be
funner than Nascar to watch. 43 cars doing 250+ MPH down the straights, 6 wide, inches apart, would be a thrill. On the other
hand, it will then be criticized by idiots for not being real racing as they just turn left constantly...
