Tell that to Dale Earnhardt....
Add some more road courses and I might be able to get into it. I do give nascar props for keeping a lot of technology out of the series, allowing the small fry to be able to compete.
I just can't wait for toyota to start whipping some redneck ass, though.
you know NASCAR is going to do whatever they want to try mix up the competition. But that doesn't matter, the teams with the most money will still be dominant.
so what you are saying is walltrip needs to get off his ass and start racing and qualifing again and you might even be happy when nissan comes to NASCAR. yes next year may be when it happens along with the first woman driver to NASCAR. Who could be Danicka Patrick. Gorden and stewart are already crying about a woman coming to NASCAR too. as far as ROAD RACING them are the only races i get a good long sleep through. Road Races are BOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRINGQuote:

ok quite confused about this thread....first the last poll selection, i thought jeff gordon was pretty good at road courses which would me he doesnt just make left turns like most of those guys......second, oval/circle tracks are the most rediculous thing ever....fly down the straight away turn left...keep turning, ok next straight away...oh **** here comes a turn which way do i go, oh wait i only know how to turn left.....road courses are for the actual drivers with talent....it pisses me off when indy or f1 cars race at circle tracks too. The only thing i watch for in nascar are the crashesQuote:
