When Americans first started racing (about the same time, of course, but without the organizers and prizes), they took their cars down to...the local horse track!

There you have it!:sunny:

Yes, but I still dont get Nascar. I have started following it a bit because of Juan Pablo Montoya (one of my fav F1-drivers), but ... well ... they just go round and round.

My ex girlfriend always complained when I watched F1. "They just go round and round", but in Nascar they actually do. I usually hope for a crash.

For me real racing is F1, WTCC, DTM and the likes.

Thats probably why people watch it - NASCAR is almost guaranteed a crash every race.

:huh: Wow, I didnt think he would win that fast! (never get to see Nascar live up here)

El Gordo is back!

Typical, stuck up, holier than thou attitude. Do these morons even know about Greg Biffle? From Washington state; won 5 races in one season a couple of years ago?
