    People watch NASCAR because they love it. A gearhead is a gearhead and love all things automotive. It doesn't matter what type of racing you prefer, if you watch any racing you're cool in my book. NASCAR has some pretty crazy finishes too. Different strokes for different folks.

    People watch Nascar because the drivers are personable, the races are often more interesting from an "anybody can win" standpoint (versus F1 slot car racing, etc), the races don't take days to complete, and most importantly: They have good major network coverage when people are in a race-watching mood. Plus, the drivers don't piss/moan/whine when someone rubs them.

    I prefer watching IRL or WRC, but, good luck finding one of those races on any given sunday afternoon.

    Have you ever actually tried to drive a stock car? I'm sure you'd change your tune.

    No doubt that the cars are engineered to perfectly, the the entire sport needs to not only re-consider rules, but also its purpose.

    also the Ferrari had a pretty unsportsman-attitude when he shoved that Porsche off the straight

    That statement might have been correct about 15 years ago, but Nascar has become the most popular spectator sport out there!! Its no longer about a "Country Good Ole Boy".. Its been taken over by Corporate America!!

    No matter what..its all about Speed & Winning!!!

    as much as i hate it though...i have to admit it is one of the most well marketed things ive ever seen...like u dont need to know jack **** about cars, or racing...teh cars go in a circle, they are all crapshoot american POS cars (liek stupid taurus's) made into race cars...they all look the same...all u really needa know is what colour u like and wat number...no wonder the dumb hicks take to it
