Why NASCAR is getting boring

[funkymonkey1111]

back to the original topic--that "boys have at it" directive was strained when Busch blew through Newman's pits. To fine them for responding to this provocation is absurd, and you're right, a reason alot of these guys are neutered.

Newman's comments about the "chemical imbalance" were hilarious. Stewart's comments about the wrecking at Talladega 2 weeks ago were also great.

Newman, Stewart and Harvick are always good for a hilarious quote.

I've watched NASCAR for more than 30 years, but i just can't stand the announcers these days. I'll watch the racing, but when there's a break for the announcers to ramble, i'll change the channel.

I love all sorts of racing, WRC, F1, ALMS, Le Mans, German Touring Car, Austrailian SuperCar--whatever. I love to hit up the local tracks, too--I try to go to the ones i know about at least once a year (Colorado National, I-76). I'm hoping to get to the I-25 speedway, Lamar speedway and Phillips County Speedways this year, too).

the URSS sprint cars are going to be at Phillips County speedway and I76 speedways this year

Sounds like professional wraslin'. Not enough drama on the track? Let's make some in the pits.

Indeed! I love Laguna Seca (well at least in watching races there and driving it in video games)- I would kill to take a RUF RGT-8 for a few laps on it too, but last time I drove a track, which was in a 1994 Ford Escort Cosworth, I found that it was possible to poo yourself while still having a raging... uh... what's a family friendly version of "guy happiness!"
If you really like Le Mans there is this excellent doc from a few years ago about Team Audi at the 24 hour: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFwoxM1MiBw I won't embed because it's 90min long...

I was watching them race at Laguna Seca on Sunday and it was just phenomenal. Corvettes, Porsches, BMWs and prototype cars all mingling together on a tight, twisty track. And all the associate sound that goes with it.

That's very impressive. But racing a time clock isn't racing. In my opinion that is.
