A guy said that Nascar is a sport. Its not. He said its the best sport in the world. Its a lame excuse to allow hillbillies world wide to come together and watch a car go around a track 210 times. Its also a bad excuse to use up whats left of Americas oil supply and claim war of the middle east.

a so-called sport whose fans represent the millions of americans that voted for george bush a second time; drunk morons that either drive in circles or watch other drunk morons drive in circles

The most pointless "sport" in the world. Nearly worse tha golf, but not quite because it has cars instead of horny old guys with clubs.
John Doe- "Man, nascar is the stupidest thing on earth...almost as bad as those horny old fucks with clubs."

A weak excuse for a sport.
A good excuse to get drunk and show your tits.
Say what you want about nascar, but it is better than watching:
dance competions, bowling, the kentucky derby, dog shows, & any reality show.

Probably the gayest motorsport ever made. Based on shitty cars such as a Dodge Intrepid, Ford taurus, or a chevy Monte Carlo that are commonly found in rental car parking lots. The race cars weigh 3000 pounds and (500 pounds are from sponsor decals)as opposed to an F1 car that weighs close to 1000 pounds. I will admit that nascar does require some athletic and driving talent (you need strength due to no power steering and brakes and the lateral G's do take a toll on one's body, the cockpit can reach 140 degrees so when you add all that fire proof cloths and 3 hours in the car you can lose almost 5 pounds in water) but no where near that of WRC, F1, IRL,CART or ALMS. This sport is backed by ignorant rednecks that won't bother to discover the true excitement that other motorsports have to offer.

Acronym for National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing. Started really with the shiners from the 20's and 30's and progressed into the large and popular sport it is today. Though the cars they race are not really stock at all, certain shapes, like hood, doors and trunk are taken from their stock counter-parts. There are many forms, such as
Nextel Cup(formerly winston)
Busch Grand National
Craftsman Truck Series
Arca
Goody's
Legends
And God knows what else, it is a very diverse sport, great for everyone to watch and enjoy.

Despite what Americans will tell you, it pales in comparison to Formula 1.
They will try to say that Nascar is better because it has more races, but if they bothered to think first they'd realise that F1 is a World Championship, meaning lots of travel that takes up time. Nascar is confined to America and they don't have to travel far to get to the next race.
Nascar is also very unpopular outside America, someone here said it's getting popular all over the world including Australia which is a complete lie. It's not shown on any TV channels in Australia, it gets absolutely no media coverage and it's widely regarded as the laughing stock of world motorsport.
They'll also say things like "I'd like to see you drive one at 300kph!". Well F1 cars can go over 370kph on road courses despite over 10 tonnes of total aerodynamic and mechanical downforce, and if you've seen the Monaco GP you'd know how skilled the drivers are to race at over 300kph with metal barriers right next to the track.
If they put F1 cars on an oval they'd be around the 400kph mark. In testing at airstrips they have been over 500kph before, the sorts of speeds top-fuel dragsters do and yet F1 cars have normally aspirated engines, no super or turbochargers, no ABS, no launch control, massive restrictions on aerodynamics and tyres and so on.
F1 is also the richest and most watched sport in the world, the teams spend a combined total of over $2.5 billion per year developing the cars and still make a profit from the sport. It's also watched on TV by an average of 2.5 billion people per race.
They'll also say that races are won at the start and there's no passing, which is total BS. People who say this are just proving how little they know about F1 because there's passing at every race, including the Monaco GP.
So all these idiots who think Nascar is the best are in denial, F1 is ahead in every area.

Rough costs of F1 teams combined (in American dollars):
Wind Tunnel Operation (wind tunnels run 24 hours a day, they never stop developing the aero of the cars): $70,210,000
Car Manufacturing costs: $20,110,000
Research & Development: $175,680,000
Operating cars at tests: $359,680,000
Team Salaries: $313,640,000
Engine budgets: $1,087,500,000
Driver Salaries: $141,100,000
Travel and Accomodation: $82,880,000
Corporate entertaining: $54,150,000
Operating cars at races: $232,060,000
Final cost: $2,537,010,000
Remember, they still make a profit, that's how popular F1 is around the world.
