I hate watching all sports with the exception of pro hockey and college football; I would rather be playing the sport than watching it.

I run on the 'safety crew' at the local track during the car races (same track poopie races his quad at) it's boring, i get a neck ache from watching them run around me in a circle...and I haven't gotten to run an extinguisher yet... |

ok I should just narrow it down and say that the only racing I don't like is Indycar... I even like toilet seat go kart racing... I used to win at that all the time when I was a camp counselor at summercamp in IA

I've heard so many people say that nascar is so much fun, it's like a soap opera on wheels and things like that. But I don't like soaps. And for what ever reason I can't get into nascar no matter how hard I try.
Do they have fantasy nascar?

I used to be huge into Nascar. They do have fantasy Nascar on Yahoo. I guess I just lost interest, but I went to Chicagoland once. 4th row from the track. It was awesome.

Not a fan. I understand why people like it.
The introvert in me cannot fathom being in a noisy smelly environment that long surrounded by that many people. It's a nightmare.
It is interesting for about 2 minutes to watch in HD but it soon becomes stale IMO.

I am a fairly big fan of Nascar. Although, recently, they are starting to lose me. That wonderful race this weekend was a disaster. Went to my first race at the Bristol night race about 4 years ago. I got strep throat the day of the race and was not able to enjoy it near as much. It was still pretty cool with the exception of my raw throat and 102 degree fever.
WAAAHHH! I'm sad about stuff.

I'm not big on Nascar or Indy/F1, but I like drag racing. To me, it's the quintessential American auto sport. It's noisy, smoky, and often features open flames. 5 seconds and you have a winner, so it fits our desire for instant gratification, too.

I like Nascar and usually watch 1/2 the races on tv each year. Of course, there are the ones I can't miss . . . Bristol, Daytona, Charlotte, Atlanta. Me and plungee were gonna watch Sunday's Brickyard, but decided instead to take a ride in the drop top . . . dang i'm glad we opted for the ride after hearing the recap after we got back. |

Goodyear isnt Firestone  they are two different companies, Goodyear supplies all the rubber for Nascar although Bridgestone-Firestone has problems with its own. |

Nascar doesn't do anything to me, but I do understand the appeal. It's pretty much the roman chariot race of the modern world if you think about it.
