TV report: Is NASCAR crumbling?

The real problem with NASCAR is the ridiculous exuse for a playoff system called the "Chase". It has ruined the history of the sport and NASCAR as we know it. Nobody wants to see Jimmie Johnson steal "championships" that belong to Carl Edwards and Jeff Gordon.

Definitely. But there is no chance they'll give up the chase format, the LEAST they could do it mix up the tracks a bit, most of the last 10 races are held on 1.5 mile tri-ovals, I think there's only 1 short track, 1 superspeedway and no road courses in the final 10, so specialists like Johnson have the advantage. Not that Johnson can't win anywhere, but he excels on the 'cookie cutter' tracks.

No, I think he means he rents zombie corpses.

That sounds exciting.

In a sad 1980's, parents' basement, Dungeons & Dragons kind of way.

<quoted text>You mean you actually drove in Nascar. Do you mean the Richard Petty ride which probably consists of one lap. You are a big joke. How old is your little sister? 10, 15, 70?

Ya know, you really should shut your mouth since you have no clue what you're talking about. Do you honestly think that anyone would pay that much for 1 lap ? Since you are clueless, let me explain this to you. The drives are from 20 to 80 miles at Pocono. Maybe you're thinking of a ride-along, but you can't actually DRIVE a stock car for 1 lap.
I really wish you'd read before you reply as well. I already explained that my little sister is 5'4" and 130 lbs. She was 22 when we went, if you really feel the need to know that. If she was ridiculously old or young to do this, don't you think I would have mentioned that since I am arguing that it doesn't take that much athleticism ?

And I see you didn't answer my questions. So typical. No answers, but asking me more questions.

Well, Mr. Smartass. Can you and your sister drive for four hours, in over 100 degree temps, going at 200 miles per hour? I don't think so. And, if you can, maybe Nascar will hire you and your sister since you two sound like pros.
By the way, what was your question that I didn't answer? I don't feel like going back and reading all your shyt.

I never said I did, could, or wanted to.(by the way, that was me answering your question AGAIN). You really are a little thick, aren't you ? Guess I shouldn't expect much from someone who won't even read the post they're replying to, or can't remember one from yesterday.
Instead of me having to tell you again what I asked, maybe you can just answer this question instead. Why are you trying to deny me an opinion ? You seem to be another one who thinks your way of thinking is the only way. And you have never even been behind the wheel of stock car. I'm starting to think that some people on here have some serious social issues that require them to validate themselves by putting other people down for how they think. You're starting to look like the president of that club.

NASCAR is crumbling because watching hillbillies in domestic sedans turning left for an hour and half is just not that exciting.

Anybody can constantly turn a wheel to the left.

Everybody has an opinion on here. That's what these posts are all about. Or, are you the only one entitled to your opinion? You can say whatever you want, just don't brag about being able to drive a stock car. No, I've never driven one, but I'm not going to brag that I can.

I never said you couldn't have an opinion. Yes, you are entitled to an opinion, and you have given it. The difference between you and me is, I tell you why that's my opinion, and answer the questions you've asked. If you want to help me understand your opinion, then answer the questions and hold up your end of the discussion. Stop talking about me, and start talking about the issue.

And for your information, I wasn't bragging about diving a stock car. YOU ASKED ME IF I DID. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR THE ANSWER, DON'T ASK THE F'ING QUESTION. But, look on the bright side. At least you got an answer.

Actually I rent out zombie corpses. You wouldn't believe how many the GOP needed in 2004.

Holy shit how do you keep the stinch down?

The liberal yankees who have spent years trying to tear down the south are at it again. They think the NASCAR is our heart and by giving it speculative bad press it will hurt us and make us like them

Wow, it's apparent southerners are still quite upset at losing the Civil War and post comments like, "The liberal yankees who have spent years trying to tear down the south are at it again." I doubt any "Yankee" really gives two shiites about the south, let alone to try and prevent Billy-Bob Inbred from racing in Nascawr anymore.

[LLC2]

Hahaha. I love how Nascar fans immediately go from something as simple as the sport may be crumbling RIGHT to the White House! Nothing in between there, Jethro?

It's a conspiracy against rednecks! Hahaha. Someone actually said Obama doesn't like rednecks! Have you met the guy? He doesn't hate rednecks, rednecks hate him!

New slogan- Nascar: It's political now!

Does that mean the iq level has to raise and proper English needs to be spoken? Most likely not. Most likely not. Git 'er done, or whatever they hell you people say.

[CheersForKyle]

Note to all you yankee posters!!!
I was surrounded by your fellow "yankees" at the Daytona 500. Seems as though they like the south well enough to spend their money and time to come join us "poor old rednecks" at our NASCAR events. Grab your pogo stick and hop out to the "cahr" and leave us ALONE!!

[Zombie Corpse Rental]

Turn left, Billy Bob! Jim Bob, you follow Billy Bob, Bobby Jean, Billy Ray, Ray Jay, Jimmy Joe, and Joe Bob, and jes' keep turnin' LEFT!

I swears, them boys gwan swap more paint 'n a Sherwin Williams salesman at a, er, um, aw heck I ain't got no down home folksy sayin' fer this. Pass me the Skoal.

Many NASCAR fans don't realize that Tony Stewart worked hard after high school classes at a laundry shaking farts out of bedsheets to earn spending money.
