endurance to do it for 200 hundred laps, show who's the best, who's the toughest, the strongest, strongest mind and strongest willed, the most skilled driver out there, controlling a huge aero-dynamic horse power machine going over 100mph on tight turns and not losing control!! I love it!! Go Jr!!

H*ll no!!! Me allowing myself to chase after a man that has a wife already, is basically telling him to do whatever he wants b/c I don't respect myself anyway. I would feel terrible knowing that Im chasing after a man that belongs to someone else. Imagine being with a man thinking that he loves you more than ever, and finding out that he just dogged you out b/c of some female that didn't mean anything but a nightly screw@!!!! Oh yeah that's right many females know about that already I answered some of their questions on Yahoo Answers!!!!

It's garbage...I work at the Las Vegas track, where Kurt and Kyle started, and there are some young driver's garages on the facility here and they totally get screwed.  It's like if someone on the Yankees had the day off and felt like playing for the Columbus Clippers...it doesn't make sense, and it's not fair to the Busch guys.  NASCAR is retarding the growth of future drivers.

*Sigh* I've come to the conclusion that ignorance until you run full force into the stupid tree and land directly on your keister. \n\nSeriously, if people think that all fans of NASCAR are uneducate they have some learning of their own to do. First, let's start by mentioning, that a piece of paper means honky dory horse poo. A degree in something does not make you any better than another. A lot of fans are blue collar job workers..and that's a crime how?? I'm pretty sure that getting out there doing something to raise your family, and provide is smarter than sitting on you tush waiting for someone else to take care of you or daydreaming about hitting it big one day. Some people enjoy their daily lives and if one feels its necessary to look down on their choices than it's a sad pathetic life one leads. You also have some very white collar executive type fans. The NASCAR world is very unique. Neither fan is better or smarter. It's all about how people chose to live their lives, and last time I check it's what life is all about...choices. The choices we make to lead our own lives. \nMost fans are die-hard. To people like me it's not a sport, it's a way of life.\nSince when has the dwelling of a fan decided their intelligence life?? So are you telling me that those people who chose to live modestly are stupid.. Interestng.. *Scratches head* Okay, so I have a family of 2.5 (two adults and a dog) and I can buy a 200k+ house..so I should do that just to prove my worth, and have more space than I could even spit at?? Uhh yeah, I'll pass. I'm pretty cozy in a smaller house.. thanks. \nBefore people fling insults they should research a bit better or at least use a damn spell checker. Good gravy.. I could go on for days, but yeah, it's like 230, and my brain is frying up...oh yeah, and I have to be up for a full day of racing tomorrow.. In closing I would just like to mention that all of those who think us fans are stupid.. it's going to be a fun day when we are running the world, huh??

What exactly is a sport?  To me, a sport is competition.  Nothing is more competitive than Nascar, especially when you factor in the setups of the cars, and the technology and research that goes into the "fine-tuning" of each component on the car.  What drivers have you been looking at exactly, when you say that they don't look athletic?  What exactly is your definition of athletic?  I can more than 20 of the regulars who are on a strict work-out program, several of which include running 5-10 miles per day.  Many of them are very intelligent.  Ryan Newman, for example, has a Masters degree in Aeronautical engineering from Purdue.  Although many of the drivers may not have graduated from a secondary institution, consider the hundreds of engineers that work the cars.  And you are calling Nascar drivers dumb?   As compared to what sport?  Baseball?  Football?  God forbid, the NBA, comprised of thugs?  To be competitive in NASCAR,  you have to have superb intelligence to setup the car for a specific track, and to make split second decisions on the track as well as in the pits concerning your race strategy.  Hundreds of a second are many times the difference between first and last.  What do you have to do in Football or basketball that requires intelligence?  Run fast or jump high?  Get 20 tattoos on your arms, grow an afro or braid your hair in cornrows while sporting a "grill" and belting out the latest 50 Cent rap?  I would bet $100 to a donut that the average IQ of a Nascar participants (when you factor in the drivers, crew chiefs, and team engineers) is double that of the average participant in any other of your major sports.   I think the thing that attracts me most to NASCAR is the fact that you have all 43 teams on the playing field competiting simultaneously.  When you run 200 MPH with someone to your left, right, behind, and in front of you only inches away, it is like a high speed game of chess.  And more importantly, in most cases, they are paid according to their performance.  And in my opinion, they aren't overpaid.

so this is a way for the people running it to pick up all the chicks and bang em?    or is it so the people running it can pick up the guys and make them gay?\nGirls if you actually want someone to talk to just start with me.

k..let me get on my box for a second. \nyes, i'm getting very annoyed with a lot of things, including fellow nascar fans. \nthe haters/basher will always be there. oh well, their loss. they are missing out on a great thing. i am amused that they find it in their time to deal with something they claim to hate so much.. personally, i have better things to do with my time than focus on something i do not enjoy. to me, it's easier to let it slide off my back then to get annoyed with it. they have no impact on my life and i can watch my tv or sit at a track w/o their approval so i can happily go aklong my merrily nascar way.  however, you have to look at what some fans are putting out there to the public. i say some, b/c i know there are still some TRUE fans out there.\n\nfirst, let's get something straight: nascar is about racing. it's not about sex. so can we please of the love of all things holy in racing stop throwing underwear at driver's like jr or kasey kahne. yeah, we got it..some people think they are easy on the eyes. pretty does not pay the bills unless you are dancing on tables. driver are drivers. they are there for the talent and the sport. let's stop demeaning them like a freakin' piece of grade a meat. now, as i said, yes, there are some that are easy on the eyes. i lvoe tony, i think he's gorgeous, but if he could drive a car i wouldn't hae one piece of #20 gear.. if fans put it out there like it's all about something so shallow people will take that and use it.\n\nsecond things are getting just ugly inside the sport. personally, i'm getting really extremely tired of everyne being ridiculous about the rivalries. i mean, yes, there are rivaliries and you can bag on other driver's a bit..but in the past years it has gotten to the extreme. it's gone from my driver can outdriver you driver.. to your driver is a lying cheating, homesexual, whinng scumbag..and it's just not nescessary. \npeople just can't admit when they are outraced, and it's irritating. i mean when someone besides their driver wins it becomes a matter of cheating an blah blah blah.. how about you just admit that you got outraced on that one. every driver would rather win against the best and have it be considered as a good win b/c they truly outraced.. and every driver would rather lose to a good driver than one who just got lucky. \nit's getting really disgusting that people are like wishing harm, actual bodily harm on other driver's..Now that's just plain sick and wrong.\nseriously, my two favorite driver's are probably on the top of the hate list..so i've gotten used to it over the years..but i still think it's gone way overboard and really makes me want to be escorted out of the tracks in handcuffs. i mean some people just need their stupidy stuffed right down their throats sideways.. \n\nnow we take all that and put it out there for the non nascar people to view and what do you think thy are going to take from it?? it's all about representing things better. \nk i will jump off my box now..thanks.

Big deal they go around in circles.\n\nAll that most other sports do is go back and forth.\n\nBaseball is just 9 guys, and usually only 2 of them are doing anything.\n\ntell them look at the crowds they must be doing something right\n(Yes I know they will say look 150,000 people (and a total IQ of 12, a total of 6 teeth, just 3 different last names, or look your family reunion)\n\nAsk them if they have ever watched a program more than once if they say it's the same every time.\n\nit may be Turn left, turn left, turn left, turn left\nrepeat 50 more times then pit\nand repeat all of that 6 more times\nwith an occassional accident thrown in.\nbut atleast the endings are usually exciting and different people win every week.\n\nWhere else can you see an accident, know its coming, not be the cause, or and not have your car insurance go up\n\nTell them "All hail, King Richard!!"\nand\n"Why yes, Dale Earnhardt is the patron saint of Rednecks."\n\nBet them you can change a tire faster than them.

Yes, he feels like you are "chasing" him...\nAnd generally speaking, men don't like to be chased, they want to do the chasing...

No more than the Letterman Crew did for Danica ; they pitted ; when they need to and the Crashes just happened while they were Pitting ; Not sure I like the Rule ; but Hope Someone will explan ; why the Rule exsist at all ; if you pit on green you should be able to get back out depending on your pitt time and Place in Competition prior to leaving the track ; not all the way to the back of the Pack ; they know the Adverage Lap times prior to the Crash etc . it aint Rocket Science ; it just seems un fair ! How do you know when someone is going to sell their car to the wall ; is it a Team effort ?

Sounds just like an Earnhardt fan YOU HAVE TO SPIN UM TO WIN UM.\nIf Jr.had the talent he would have run off with the lead by now.

hey skip,\nin fact they do!!!\nThere are 2 road courses in Nascar\nInfineon in CA   and Watkins Glen in NY\nthey are road courses, run in the opposite direction to what the drivers are used to, so, in theory these tracks are run with more right turns than left.\n\nHope this helps, check the links\n\nHave a good one, dude

Nascar doesn't decide that.  You may have to contact the track officials, or if the city/county board runs the events at the track you will have to find out from them.  Other than that, you won't be able to look online or anything.

uhh like anyone who watches nascar has seen it. it was a hell of a lickin', but thanks to the safte features implemented after Big E he's okay. \ni blame this on another crew cheif screw up.. you should know that you need a good brake setup at that place.. good gravy. i hope monday morning meeting someone kicks his ass.. ugh, and i hope it's jeff.\nlaughing is just not cool people. sure it's fun to see your least favorite driver cut a tire and smash his front end and wreck the aerodynamics and lose a race..but to smack the wall that hard, b/c of a loss of breaks is just uncalled for. seriously, how can you have a hate for a man so much you have never met?? Good gravy.. i'm sure jeff doesn't sit there at night praying for your demise.. i mean, really, he hit that wall at almost 200 mph..hello, he smashed the safer barrier in.. do you know how hard of a hit that is?? i wann see you do that and still laugh, cuz two cents says it won't be so funny then.

They don't know what NASCAR racing is really about. They think it's just what they see on race day, what's shown on television. They probably have never read any books on NASCAR(and there are plenty of books out there)that tell people what really goes on behind the scenes, how the drivers got into racing, how those cars are built(not on an assembly line!),qualifying, point standings, tracks(especially since all haters ASSUME all tracks are just 'turning left' there are two ROAD COURSES, Infineon and Watkins Glen)...\nand some people just aren't into racing. Of any kind. Period.

because it's the only real family sport left... and the guys are better men than most atheletes as role models.\n Most of them can't figure out the rules either..lol.. and don't know how much skill it takes to keep a car on the track at the speed they go....\n I am a well educated Mom who loved NASCAR since I was a child...it is the only "gentleman sport" around...\nmy son and I have met many of the drivers.. they are the most humble,kind hearted people you'll ever met...

I like it becuase it keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the whole race.You are wondering who is gonna win and who is gonna wreck and how r the cars gonna handle this race? Its full of questions to me.And because it is mostly a true sport.The guys that race are country boys(mostly) that are nice and all that jazz.They have all worked so hard to get where they are and it takes pure talent.Its amazing.Nascar feels like my home kinda.Better than any other sport in my opinion.I just love it!!
