Is NASCAR a government plot to keep rednecks off the streets on weekends?

Doesn't sound like a good thing to me, but maybe I'm just crazy.  In a related item, I understand that the crimes "car theft" and "carjacking" are going to be replaced with a "guest driver" program.

It has its roots in running moonshine and most of the races are in the south. enough said. But, Im a huge Mark Martin fan and not a redneck.

The sad reality is, the police are also our enemies.  To make money for the State, they have quotas.  They will actually stop a person going 5 miles over the limit, to reach their quota.  \n\nOften, the bad guys get away;people who are only slightly breaking the law, wind up footing the bill.\n\nThis truly is an act of war:  many people simply cannot weather a huge ticket.\n\nTruly, the police are not friends....they are money makers for the State.\n\nLearn the lesson: the policeman is not our friend.  They are instruments of the State to STEAL our money.  That's the gist of it.

Yes. but you would have to have pit pass and go to track on Fridays,visit his garage .He would probably be happy to do it.I'm just guessing though.

So true!!! I went to Cancun for spring break and I was in awe at the enormous amounts of teens and young adults who can't keep their composure! \n\nI know, I think their parents are too busy calling us wetbacks and beaners when they in fact need to take care of their kids who will most likely make it to the Girls Gone \nWild series. \n\nAnd yes, "rednecks" like us more than they would like to admit.

Nascar racing? Honking their horn?

You know, I understand how you may feel this way. However, it's quite natural for people to stick up for a sport they like. Just like football...for example...if people like it, they will stick up for it until the end no matter what people think. That's the beauty of being a fan...a true, old fashioned fan of a sport. I happen to be a large NASCAR fan and I would stick up for it in a second. But I'm far from being a redneck. I live in the Northeast, and I do a lot of things that a lot of people think is stuffy and elite...and not redneck-like. I am nothing like a redneck, but still adore the sport. It's just something I like...just like I enjoy watching water polo....or just like I enjoy playing tennis or fencing. I'm sure you understand what I mean. Don't assume that all NASCAR fans are all rednecks. I'm not, and I know others who also aren't. I know you'll probably just pick a best answer from somebody who writes the opposite of what I'm saying (or should I say, typing!) but try to understand my meaning.

No.  If they were going to do the right thing, they would allow law enforcement to enforce the laws already on the books.  This is an election year, so the issue once again comes up.

It would appear that this is true, just look at their die hard power base of rednecks and people who see NASCAR drivers as athlete's, and have the same vocabulary as George Bush.

There was an article on that in one of the Nascar Illustrated one time.  I can't recall when.  Not sure if you can search their archives.  One interesting point I remember out of the article is they like husband and wife team driver because they don't want to go home as much.  Good luck on your search.

Yes but that is DIFFERENT it is for government purpose, most governments are hypocrites they all want you to do as they say but not what they do. Have you seen those nice cars they all ride around in, not exactly your average 1300 model.

I don’t think they ever can when they are competing directly with the NFL.  I am a big fan of both sports.  I am just glad I have a split screen ability on my TV.  I read this week now they are going to start the races later in the day.  If I remember correctly they will start no race earlier than 2pm EST, this might help.  I would like to see NASCAR move races to Saturday night.  I think this would help them gain more viewers.

I'm not sure how you could ban them. You can put conditions on them, which I think they already do in most places. If they threaten the public they are supposed to back off. They can use helicopters to follow the car and radio the police so that they can try to apprehend the driver in a safer manner. I think really they have to look at the total picture to determine whether or not a car chase is safe or necessary. In some situations they might warrant the risk. In others, I think they create a very dangerous situation. But banned? No.

i dont think so imagine going to a dirt track and them saying you cant race here cause you win to much besides i think the nascar drivers bring more money in therefore payouts are larger so the busch guys may or may not win but they are going to get a bigger check and more publicity than if nascar drivers were not there. also i remember watching busch say 5 yrs ago noone hardly came now look at it    LET THE BIG BOYS PLAY

Yes. The roads are goverment property, and a goverment officer (police) can set up a road block if they believe that it will prevent property damage, loss of live, or major injury. It's legal anywhere.
