Shoot, sometimes the leader would be 5 laps ahead of 2nd place back in the day, how has it gotten worse?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] There is a reason Nascar is the most popular motorsport in the world, and it sure as hell isn't because it is boring! If you don't understand it, your not going to enjoy.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

And I don't think WWF has anything to do with Nascar.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] What are you into then?

Sorry Moto, didn't mean to rain on your parade. I just feel that NASCAR has somewhat turned into a money racket over the last couple of decades. That's not to take away from the talents of drivers or crews. I love most all motorsports but feel that NASCAR is very dramatized and exploits it's followers by playing on thier emotions. I've never been real keen on NASCARS philosophy of "rubbins just racin". It seems it's OK for some drivers to bump and drive rough, but not for others. If they were in open wheel cars it wouldn't be long before the "rubbin" would stop. This is just my two cents worth. I thought this was an open forum that anyone could comment on good or bad. Again, sorry, nothing personal, and yes I probably will refrain from further comment on this thread.

I to am a fan of many motorsports, mainly Nascar and MX, even compete myself in MX and used to race dirttrack (midgets), and I love the "rubbin is racing" attitude as long as it isn't a blatant attempt to wreck somebody. Heck, when I raced dirttrack, half my races were won by getting a guy a little loose in the corner. And I can't remember ever wrecking a guy for a win either.

Anyways, who all watched the 500?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] There sure was a lot of excitement going on around the track, was really disapointed to see Jimmie win.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img] Oh well, that's racing.
Who all thinks Tony and Matt went out for a beer after the race? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] LOL!

Would have thought there would have been a few more wrecks just do to the misty kind of rain they had.
Oh yeah, way to go Jeff Gordon. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] (how much did he have to pay the chick to stand next to him before the race?)
