(i didnt drive ) but they had mall of us in a passenger side, and one they are fighting witht the car the whole time they are goign straight. and being the passenger you see how close they get to the walls. scary dont hate . . . . to me it is like golf i have the deepest since of respect for the drivers but i am not always a fan of watching it
When you look at Nascar compared to a normal car yes it is amazing. But compair it to some other racing series and nascar starts to look foolish. Those cars are so limited on power and aero that it is not even funny. Its really time they put the up the power and use some technology that dates past 1970.
Honestly name one top level racing series that is as stale as nascar
i would rather watch F1, WRC, ALMS, Rolex ect over Nascar anyday

Aside from xenophobia or elitism, how can you like Indy and dislike NASCAR? They're the same formula - essentially identical cars driven in circles for long periods of time, with races kept interesting with excessively long (and some times contrived) full course cautions. It's been a long time since Indy or IRL consistently had a good field, innovative competing designs, etc.Originally Posted by Erik@MIL.SPEC
Sears Point and Watkins Glen are the only 2 NASCAR races I can stomach watching. The only cars I can stand racing in a circle are INDY cars.

Like what?
The cars aren't any different on a fundamental level than what Rick Mears was racing when I was 4. The engines have largely regressed because they're all spec motors leased from Honda, every team runs a spec chassis, and the cars are slower than they were 10-15 years ago.

It must be elitism then, since I don't think I qualify as a xenophobe. Originally Posted by WestSideBilly

Maybe it's the open wheels, maybe it's the fact they're going faster...don't know.
Hey, I never said my opinion had to make sense to you. I'd watch a lot more NASCAR if they turned right and left
