Why do people waste their time posting on a NASCAR thread when they don't like NASCAR?

I don't understand that one but... I happen to like nascar\nI am a very big fan but you know in my hometown people say that I am crazy just because I am black and their aren't many black nascar fans My favorite driver happens to Dale earnhardt Jr. and his Dad and I also like Ryan Newman.\nPeople just are crazy.

You can find the points rules on the website www.nascar.com  I don't know about all the other rules for the car specs, etc.  They change so much that the teams can't keep up, let alone us fans!

He's not obsessed because Kevin Harvick already has that wrapped up. Besides, a lot of NASCAR Drivers do double duty(Busch and Cup) The Cup guys are regulars on the Busch Series, with people calling them "Buschwackers" Does it make it right? No, does NASCAR care? No cause that's higher ratings for them if the big boys drive in the minors.

I think it's stupid. I also hate that if you tick someone off with an answer they don't like, they can report you for no reason at all. This forum should be FUN, and some people ruin it for others.\nI think if someone is offended by a question or answer, he should just AVOID it!!

I went to the race in Martinsville just a couple of weeks ago, and to a certain extent, you are right. It used to be a very enjoyable experience. Now, it's kinda iffy. Way too many people are crammed into the little bleachers and the weather can be tricky in April. Since the NASCAR season goes almost all year long, there are some times when you fry at a racetrack and there are some times when you throw snowballs at each other. I go to see the speed and smell the exhaust. Two things that the TV cameras cannot bring into my home. I have always said that alcohol should be banned inside gates, but that may never happen because of the promotion of beers on the track. However certain tracks (like Charlotte) have a section of grandstands that are "family friendly"; no smoking or drinking in those areas. You may want to look into those next time.

I blame boredom. I think sometimes people just post questions on here to see if people will answer them - its a form of entertainment I guess. Whats equally annoying are the stupid responses people leave to questions! Like when people say "I don't know" or "I'm not sure" or "that's a tough one" I mean, if you can't be bothered to answer a question properly why the hell are you on Yahoo answers!

Nascar rocks. Kahne, Stewart and Jr. are faves. Can't stand the Busch Bros. Cry babies.

I think it's stupid and pointless too. I fail to see the allure of sitting and watching cars go around a circuit for what seems like hours. Many guys are fond of it because they are interested in the cars and they are waiting for a huge pile up. Many women are into it as well. I think both sexes find it exhilarating. I am just not that into it.

LUV NASCAR. I can't believe nobody said "its just a bunch of cars driving in a circle" yet. As many times as this question has been asked on here, there has always been at least one answer like that...

Hey girlie. I noticed that you ask this question a lot. Why?? When it keeps getting mentioned, its never going to go away. I think you should just stop mentioning it over and over. It just brings negative attention to this Motorsports category. And mostly non-Nascar fans answer with ridiculous answers. Real Nascar fans know the difference, but it just opens up a can of worms for people who know NOTHING about Jeff Gordon to bash him. Anyway, dont want to offend you- but I think this question has been asked way too many times. Here is my answer: (Again)\n\nI freaken hate when people say this. Here's the story STRAIGHT FROM JEFF GORDON:\n\nThis is a few paragraphs from 'JEFF GORDON: Racing Back to the Front-My Memoir' page 95(for those who are interested)\n\n"The more I won, the more fans I attracted, and the more people pulled against me. A lot of people loved that I was a young guy with a new team. Others might have thought I was destroying the fabric of the sport. This is when the first 'GORDON SUCKS' signs came out and the boo birds turned up again when I was introduced."\n\n"At some point during this time (I have no idea exactly when), anti-Gordon fans started passing around the rumor that I was gay. I can only guess that it had something to do with my driving a rainbow colored car. I also figure some folks took a joke Dale Earnhardt made during my rookie year out of context: I had been dating Brooke throughout the season, but because Winston employed her, we had to keep our relationship secret. After her stint as Miss Winston Cup ended, we came out at the banquet as a couple. Dale, being witty as ever, said, 'Whew, Im glad to see you've got a girlfriend. Some of us were beginning to wonder if you liked girls.' Of course, Dale and a lot of other drivers had known about Brooke for months, but they hadnt said anything out of respect for our privacy. Once we showed up in public together, Dale felt comfortable making a joke about it. I can only guess that a few folks took him seriously, and the rumors about my sexual orientation spread like wildfire."\n\n"The controversy(such that it was)never bothered me, but I was a bit puzzled by it. I'd like to think that if I were gay, I would be comfortable enough to say so and get on with my life. The fact is I'm not, and I never quite understood wh so many people wanted to believe otherwise."\n\nTHERE YOU GO PEOPLE...Get over it. He's not gay/if you dont like Jeff Gordon, sucks for you.

It is much more than driving in circles.  The strain, the talent and all it takes to drive those fast cars on those tracks is trememdous.  I know why NASCAR is #1 and it's because of the fans, the sport itself and you don't have to be a millionaire to participate.  You can go to a race or just watch it on tv and they are family!  You will not find a greater group of people anywhere!  They will go out of their way to see that the fans get the autographs or whatever it is they want.  They do alot for charities too.  Not a selfish bone in any of their bodies.  Hail NASCAR I'm your #1 FAN & supporter.

Ignorance.  I thought it was boring until I was stuck in a small english town with nothing to do in 1982.  I had to watch the world cup, and after a few matches I realized what a great game it is.  Most americans aren't in a position where they have to give it a fair chance, so they watch it for 10 minutes, decide it's boring and change the channel.  I think if they gave it an honest look, a lot more would like it.  But even if I didn't like it now, I wouldn't come here and post smack, I'd let people enjoy what they want to.  For example I don't go to nascar sites and post what I think of it.  \n\nOne thing I'll make no bones about disliking is the faking of injuries. I think that is so lame, and nothing's going to change that.\n\nAnd you may find it interesting to hear that I walked throug north beach san francisco yesterday at lunchtime, a number of cafes were broadcasting the Ukraine-Switzerland match, and they were packed inside and also had tons of people standing on the street looking at the screens inside.  It's growing here, and I think that's going to continue.\n\nI do have to laugh at all these "US football is wussy/for gays" etc.  comments.  I can guarantee you everyone posting that would rather meet ronaldinho than any NFL linebacker and call them names to their face.

I understand what you mean. I'm tired of having to post my NASCAR etc. questions under Sports -> Other. Because when you ask there, your NASCAR questions get stuck with 'other' sports like croquet.

No, you hate racing because you're just stupid.  Anyone who hates something has a bit of a mental deficiency...  Like not maturing part the third grade level.\n\nIf you don't like to watch it, that is your absolute choice.  It may be because you don't understand it or it may not be your cup of tea.  It may be because you haven't been exposed to the right form of racing.  I bet if you have an open mind I could find at least one kind of motorsports you would understand AND enjoy.  I personally don't care for stick and ball sports of any kind but can't imagine hating them.   \n\nAs for the imbecile first responder.  Save your answers for questions you have a clue about.  Newsflash!  Not all forms of racing, or even most, only turn left.  it would be easier for you to open your eyes and see that if your head wasn't shoved so far up your [insert place here].\n\nHave a nice day.

Man people are clueless and ignorant, the question says NASCAR!  \n\nI think if a driver can't drive he should lose his points, not have a sub...how fair is that!?!?\n\nI also think they should give tougher penalties, as they are starting to now, on agressive driving...we don't need anymore deaths!  We have too many hotheads (Stewart, Kenseth, Busch brothers, etc.) they should be worrying about the most!\n\nFor the record:  How do any of us KNOW Johnson had a clue what Knaus did, Johnson may have he may not have, WE will never KNOW!  People need to get over it, he got penalized and is still winning, if they cheated anymore...they would've caught it as they did that time!

Exactly. I just answered another question similar to this topic. NBC is nothing but commercials and "drama"...they don't care about the sport, they only care about ratings. They take too many long commercial breaks and it gets boring to watch the races, since they keep interrupting it. It's not Nascar that has the low ratings, it's NBC.
