Watching Nascar is some sort of cruel and unusual punishment. How anybody can enjoy it is mindboggling

they will sell anything and say nascar so people go out and but that stuff.
they believe it helps there driver and sport. just makes them more money.
cause it is just a few teams that win most of the races.

It is apparently popular in Pennsylvania also.
Some relatives brought down NASCAR trading
cards? yes indeed.

My family was bewildered. We have no darn cards.
They asked who are
favorite drivers were. Damn.

A bit awkward, I tried to think of some, but then
I heard that if one gives a driver that the family does
not like, its a Hatfield and McCoy thing. So they said
they hated Jeff Gordon and we all agreed.

Then we had to watch it. I remembered I had friends
to meet... be back in 500 laps.

actually, hockey is a lot of fun to watch, very exciting and fast paced. not at all like watching cars go around. and around. and around. two hours later, they're still going around. and around and zzzzzzzzz......

I guess I'm outta touch. No one that I know thinks that Toyota is good for NASCAR they are still arguing over Ford vs Chevy. Maybe it is like The Legend of Ricky Bobby.. they only eat food that is advertised on cars. So since the KY Derby is on the hood of a car they will all tune into watch the race.

I imagine it can't hurt

I've always said that it would be cool to bet exactas, triples, etc. in Nascar races.

Yes, I'll have a $2 triple wheel

Actually, I was at the Tahoe Biltmore this weekend, and they now offer Win, Place and Show on NASCAR wagering. And that's a small casino. I'm sure larger casinos and casino networks might have other fun offerings.

Most casinos also offer NASCAR parlay sheets with pairs of drivers matched against each other. Just have to pick the driver that will finish higher of the two. Pick three, four, five or more....just like on a football parlay sheet....without giving or getting points.

Last year for the Daytona 500 I had Ryan Newman, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., and Kevin Harvick at $50 each.

Harvick won on the last lap, and I had him at 17-1.

If interested in wagering in Nevada, be aware odds fluctuate WIDELY on individual drivers between casinos, and change much on qualifying days, practice days and race day.

What's more exciting than 500 miles of left hand turns?

All I know is that Dale Earnhardt Jr. candy bar cracked me up the first time I saw it. His face right next to "Big Mo." Brilliant.

horse racing and nascar in the same sentence just makes me cringe

i'll take tennis way over nascar and golf isn't any better then nascar. ok i might be able to watch some golf but not for to long.

but for a few tracks-daytona, talladega,bristol - all you have is a bunch of cookie cutter 1mile ovals with cars spread out all over the place being lapped 10 or 15 times. watching paint dry is all it is
