For those who think that NASCAR drivers only turn left and have no talent, watch the race this Sunday at Watkins Glen. It's a road course.

I prefer Formula 1.

Um... you're a little late. This would be the second road course race of the year. And yes, these are the only two circuits I will voluntarily watch NASCAR. =]

These are actually rather entertaining to watch. If they had a whole series on road courses I just might follow NASCAR. Did I just say that...?

Don't they also have a race at the Meadowlands?

Now I would love to see NASCAR cars on rally tracks, that would be entertaining.

So the road courses prove to people that don't understand cars that stock cars can handle.... yet they still hate on the other tracks. Do you realize how much driving control it takes to go as fast as they do with 40 other cars around them? Sure they're turning the same way around the whole thing, but it's much more than that. You can't go out there and do it no matter how bad you think you are, unless you have their experience. And think about how much more comes into play other than just driving. Setting the car up is a big deal and pit stragety is huge.

I for one find nearly all forms of racing entertaining. I like NASCAR over F1 BECAUSE they can bump and rub and not be out of the race because they break their suspensions. There is something to be said for something that can hold up like a NASCAR car can. That's why the GT40s that dominated back in the day basically ran a NASCAR engine, it was the only thing that could hold up to the 24hours race (and actually do it easily).

I can't wait to see how many people Robby Gordon wrecks over the weekend. He's in the Busch race tomorrow and the Cup race on Sunday. He's already ticked off ALOT of drivers for his blantant brake checking of Michael Waltrip under caution at the Louden race, so this should be fun.

As Scott Riggs said about Robby, "You can't fix stupid"

Also, knowing full well now that Michael & Jeff Gordon are friends, as well as Michael being friend with Tony Stewart, they might exact a little revenge on Robby, especially since Tony owes Michael for Michael taking out Ryan Newman at Louden after Ryan wrecked Tony. LOLOLOLOL

bleh nascar, some crap to put on tv to take up on time on FOX while waiting for family guy/simpsons/etc. to start. It's always on and it's on 50 channels I swear. NASCAR serves no purpose anyways.. just waste fuel and polute the air more.
