I'm done with nASScar!

The mullet.... That's to funny.

I agree. NASCAR has gone to crap.

But, I do remember watching a race last year, I believe Talladega, where the announcer (DW I believe) said after a pileup:

"Johnson got into Busch, Johnson got into Busch".

Kinda made it worth it to me. :biggrin:

I'm sorry for the insult at the top of the page. Had some buddys over and was looking at something else, must have been away and one of the jokers posted that.

Hope you're are feeling 100% and don't give up on Nascar. As bad as it is, sometimes it's exciting too. Better than golf.:biggrin:

WRC is much better for entertainment value. Not to mention that the cars are quite a lot closer to resembling actual ones you can buy.

Watching WRC on TV is an adrenaline rush. Those guys have balls the size of melons and are the best drivers in the world, period.

what the people want to see is a bunch of rednecks out there duking it out instead of clean cut yankee pretty boys like Kasey Kahn, Jimmy Johnson, and Kyle Busch whining every time someone refuses to give them a spot and puts a scratch on their precious pretty car.

Kyle Busch considered a pretty boy? I'm pretty sure my wife thinks he's uglier than Donnie Allison ever was

no mullet, no white trash mustache, probably no grease under his finger nails, whines and stomps off like a little girl when things don't go his way..
yup, pretty boy.

i blame Tom Cruise and Days of Thunder for NASCAR's demise.it was a long slow death that played out over a 20 year period.
Jeff Gordon came in right when NASCAR started going to crap, and he became the poster child for the "new" nascar when Rick Hendrick and DuPont made him shave the 'stache and chop off the mullet and drive a car with a freakin rainbow painted on it.
before makeover:

after makeover:

i've never had anything against him as a driver becasue he is a clean driver that can get properly aggressive when necessary, but he was the one that got the "Cole Trickle" image makeover first, and i don't think there have been any real rednecks come into theCup series since then.
which is too bad- because what the people want to see is a bunch of rednecks out there duking it out instead of clean cut yankee pretty boys like Kasey Kahn, Jimmy Johnson, and Kyle Busch whining every time someone refuses to give them a spot and puts a scratch on their precious pretty car.

Funny and TRUE. You still NHRA and IHRA.

I was at Daytona in 2001 when Dale Earnhardt died. That was the day the music died for me.

QUOTE]

X3 NASCAR died with Dale Sr. Wonder what things would be like if he were still around?? As most Earnhardt fans did we put our allegience to Dale Jr, but he has turned out to be a poor pretender to the throne. Can't remember the last time I watched an entire race.

You have read my mind. NASCAR died with Dale Sr.
Nascar is trying to go main stream but they are going over the falls to their death. They need to listen to the fans.

NASCAR isn't "trying" to go mainstream- they've been mainstream for probably 15 years. they are trying to "stay" mainstream, but everything they do seems to push more and more of what's left of the old school hardcore fanbase away. and those are the fans they should be trying to keep. the 'shootout style' double file restarts that they over hyped for about 2 weeks was a good palce to start with keeping the real fans around, now if they'd just find a way to get rid of all the big 5 car teams and make the cars look like something you can actually go to a dealer and buy, then they'd really be onto something.
personally, i think NASCAR will be about 100% better in about 5 years when most of the big money is gone and most of what is left is the real racers that would be doing it even if they weren't getting paid.

Checked in on the Brickyard 400 while watching the Red Sox game at the same time. Looked like everyone forgot there was a race. LOTS of empty seats. Of course, last years race might have had something to do with that. In 2008 they were only getting about 10 laps per set of tires before they started blowing out.

 

[novaderrik]

the seats were empty because a good chunk of the fan base decided that they would rather stay home and watch the race for free than spend the hundreds of dollars that a ticket costs on stupid things like paying the mortgage and car payments.

 

[Black3]

The good thing about watching the Brickyard at home was you could get up and leave. That race was so boring with almost no racing and I would have much rather Martin win it than see Johnson win it, again.

Most of the bigger tracks, 1.5 mile and larger, just turn into a high speed parade......really, do you want to devote your precious free time to see who gets better gas mileage out of a race car ?
