I know that Mitsu is not involved in NASCAR, and I know they probably never will be. But I thought being this a motorsports forum, and being a Mitsu lover, why not??

Er...no. I know that Toyota is involved in a lower tier level of NASCAR style motorsports (think big round rings). I dunno if I can support that just because the races are not interesting to watch. The only decent NASCAR race I've seen was on the road course at Sears Point. They actually had to TURN!

NASCAR has 2 road course races during the season presently. Sears Point, and Watkins Glen. So they don't always go in circles!

I've never been a huge NASCAR guy...I'm sure watching them in personis pretty fun, but on TV...I just can't watch it fer that long without falling asleep (seriously...I'm not trying to be mean)

The first and last full length NASCAR race I watched was the Daytona 500 where Dale Earnhardt died.

watching any race on tv is boring...oh wow look the car is turning right this time instead of left...im sure that makes watching it SO much mroe enjoyable. only point to watching the race is to see how a driver is doing...if hes like your favorite driver you want to watch and see his points etc or however the hell they do it.

How much coverage can you give to one race a week?

Dunno? Ask Speed Channel

yea the way the especially targets nascar audience is pissing me off...i mean fox plays nascar and i think sometimes nbc does too if i'm right, speed should be covering all sorts of motor racing including nascar and should all get a fare share, sharing is caring

Speedvision does cover alot of nascar, they also play classic nascar races from days past. Also TNT, NBC, FOX, FX, ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN Classic also has nascar stuff.

Remember nascar is not only winston cup cars, but they have busch grand national, winston west, northern lights, etc....

Also for those that like road racing, this weekend the winston cup boys will be at Watkins Glen NY, on Sunday AUG 11th.

And to Add, why do 150,000+ people go to these events from all over the US every weekend? and also why do the winston cup boys ship thier cars all the way to Japan at the end of the season to put on exhibition races at Suzuka?
