Nascar

The New Season has started and Dale Jr's first race in a hendrick ride was awsome...
im guessing it will be another 500 with everyone following Jr.. as it should be

When you watch Nascar do you watch the race from start to end or just come to watch the last ten or so laps?
I've watched whole races, it did seem a little boring. And then some rain came and they had to take a break or something...

Anybody have suggestions on how to watch Nascar events on TV?

I've been a nascar fan my whole life. I've even made a few trips up to Texas Motor Speedway which was a blast each time. I was there for Jr's first points win. I was a huge Dale Sr fan, and I'm now a huge Dale Jr. fan. Whoever he drives for, I don't care. As long as he ain't running crappy engines and wheels that don't stay on the car.

A Hendrick car will win the 500, that's for sure.

I haven't followed NASCAR much, but I am sort of a Jeff Gordon fan. I remember my first "real" video game was NASCAR Racing for MS-DOS back in like 1994. I was too young to understand too much of what was going on, other than driving around the track. But anyway Gordon's car stood out to me, and so it stuck.

Oh and I like watching for the crashes. Isn't that what most people do?

Seeing a race live is the way to go, I've to daytona a couple of time and am renewin my tickets for miami this season. As to watching it on TV, some races get a little dull in the middle but others are good all the way through. Some of the better tracks are Daytona, Talladega, Bristol, Richmond. I like em all but those are usally the best for people who are not really big fans.

Thanks for the advice, I'll have to turn on the TV if I hear any those raceways.

Ah, indeed those are the better ones. I don't remember all the tracks, though. When did the season end? It almost feels like it just ended and is now starting again already.

Nascar is the South's sport as Hockey is the North's. I'm a North guy.

What about Football? Well... I guess that's nationwide.

Scattered showers this weekend in Daytona. Crap

 

[nitrojoe726]

it is all about drag racing nascar B L O W S

 

[The Red Comet]

I kinda like drift racing too, though I don't really watch it. The few times I do though, it's really cool to see them go around the turns sideways spewing smoke.

 

[Madscotsman]

MOP I'll cut you some slack since Jr is with Hendrick now, but my boy JJ is gonna dominate again

 

[Suicide_King]

Two down ... The big one to go. Can we say " Jr's done it he's swept speedweek at Daytona", im hopin so but we shall see sunday

 

[masterofpuppets]

Jr wins again. Wow!

All I'm worried about is if they have to race the weather on sunday. That would suck if Jr. leads the most laps but some rookie catches a good pitstop at halfway when it starts raining.

The stats on Sportscenter said that nobody has ever won both the Budweiser Shootout and the Gatorade Duel and also won the Daytona 500. There's always a first for everything, though.
