It has never ceased to amaze me why liberals make fun of NASCAR fans as if they're stupid and uneducated. NASCAR isn't just cars driving around a track. There's alot of science involved. Actually, you have to know alot about cars just to be in the business. I don't understand why liberals attack things they don't even know about.

I have never seen anyone do that before for a windmill.
+1 for creativity.

Have you ever actually sat in the stands at a NASCAR race?

And they're racing at Florence tonight, a market that the liberals sued NASCAR to kill. The GoDaddy.com 500 was moved to Mother's Day to kill the Darlington Raceway in the Florentine suburb.
The sport's Grand Slam was killed by activist judges.

Activist judges and NASCAR?
Melodrama much?

I live about 30 minutes from Talladega, I've been to numerous races...it's not the drivers or the owners anyone makes fun of it's the drunken fans...of course, you can go to a football game, or any other major sporting event and see the same thing...except maybe golf. :rolleyes:
My brother is one of the biggest libs I know, yet he's also one of the biggest NASCAR fans I know...guess that blows your theory out of the water.

It actually happened. They went after Florence and its Grand Slam. Johnnie Cochran Firm was the lead attorney in the lawsuit that created the second Texas race by suing NASCAR to kill the Southern 500 (regarded as the fourth leg of the Grand Slam). It's akin to suing the NFL to snatch the Green Bay Packers and ask they be moved to Los Angeles.
Sprint Cup teams have an attitude of never giving up, fighting the good fight, and battling for even three measley points when everything is tattered, knowing that even one point is worth the potential of $100,000, or even a shot at the playoff.
When ESPN obtained the rights to the Sprint Cup playoff, they ensured races cannot get past 7:30 PM -- move the race from the ESPN Broadcast Network to ESPN2 to protect Desperate Housewives. We now have the idea Desperate Housewives is strong enough that NASCAR must be bumped off the air to protect five sleazy women.

What in the hell does television ratings have to do with activist judges?
You're not helping to dispel the stereotype here.

I explained two different things with NASCAR and liberals.
The first: Darlington lost its Chase race to an activist judge in Texas.
The second: ESPN's policy on NASCAR is if a race goes past 7:30 PM, it's bumped so they can protect Desperate Housewives. They'll pull a Heidi Game to protect that one show. Sheesh.

If you pour a bag of skittles in a toilet and flush, you can watch a NASCAR race in about 7 seconds.

I liked stock car races when I was a kid. Well, I liked the cars. The first time I ever went to see a race, with my dad (he took me because I wanted to go; I don't think he was into racing), I sat and watched the whole race and became the most bored kid on the planet.
I have never watched another stock car race since, unless I wanted to take a midday nap on the weekend.
Drag races? Yep. Horse races? Yep. Anything that lasts a few seconds to a couple of minutes, I'm down with.
Hours of orbiting, even on road courses, not so much ...
I can't watch NASCAR any more than I can watch the Olympic Marathon.
I don't make fun of NASCAR fans, but I do wonder what--aside from getting drunk in the exhaust clouds--appeals to them.
I see no drama. I see nothing exciting. I see no reason to like any given driver, car, or team over any other. It's all a huge mystery to me.
