And to make matters worse, I live in Nascar country. Mooresville is full of people who make the frames, another guy builds engines and so on. I watch one race every year and that is the Indy 500. Now that's racing to me. If the Nascar rules weren't so stupid, then I might change my mind. Do you guys remember when they tried to hold an open wheel race at Charlotte and one the cars tires went over the fence? I have a dear friend and his 11 year old Daughter got hurt really bad.

Sam,I, and a few others watch Formula 1.
World rally is the most fun to watch I think.
I'll watch a NASCAR if there is nothing else on

I'm not a huge fan of the way the rules change darn near daily but it takes a lot for me to watch any kind of open wheel racing. Indy 500? Cars following each other single file. zzzzzzzzzzzzz. Formula 1? Don't get me started.

To each their own.

I drink beer and like Nascar.

Back in the day we would camp out for 2-3 days at Talladega. WOW! The things that I saw go on there.

It makes me sick now that I see all the drivers bringing their stinking a$$ kids up on stage.

I'm not the only one that thinks this either.

You are correct Todd. It sure ain't what it used to be. Nothing is, but you would think they (Nascar) could have left things alone. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I liked Nascar back in the 90's when Dale Sr. and Petty and all the greats were racing. No restrictor plates and all that crap. I quit watching when Petty Jr. started racing. Now all the kids are. Makes me wanna puke.

Who is Petty Jr.?

Well Ronnie, I'm not sure who petty Jr. is. If you mean Kyle petty, he started racing in the early 80's before restrictor plates, which came about in the late 80's. If you think back to nascar in the 90's, and picture the intimidator working the pack to keep the lead at talladega, you are thinking restrictor plate racing. Of course this could only be 1990, 91, or 92 as Richard Petty retired in 1992. Kids racing because their dad did makes you want to puke...really? Do you want to take a poll on here and see how many guys are carpenters, electricians, machinists, farmers, etc. because their dad was? Do they make you want to puke too? I get it, you hate nascar, then don't watch. Let us enjoy.
