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

Best part was the the Air Force Thunderbirds flying in formation at the end of the S.S. Banner.....I don't, for the life of me, understand this national obsession.

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.

Now just to show how much I really know about all this, I had Tony Stewart at 10-1 for $50 on Sunday.

He finished last, first out of the race!

For those that dont get the whole Nascar thing. I was right there with ya, couldnt believe someone was dumb enough to sit and what cars turn left for 3 hours!!! Hell if I wanted to see horse power I would go to the "horse" races. Co-worker invites me over for BBQ, oh and the "race" will be on. Hey, good BBQ and I can put up with just about anything. First race, I look at the cars and say "Gee, that one has a pretty cool paint schemethingy". Next weekend, "Hey where is that car with the cool paint schemethingy?", Next week, "Hey who the hell is that bumping into "my" car with the cool paint schemethingy?". And 5 years later I am one of the "dumb" ones that sit and watch cars turn left for 3 hours.hehe When you get watching close, following the drivers, and the teams, believe it or not, it becomes very interesting. My Blue Front Amazon Parrot has picked up our cheering for our favorite driver " Go Matt, Come on Buddy, You can do it". And I had a dog named after my drivers crew chief...sick I know, but true. And if anyone sees Jeff Gordon, give him a good bitch slap for me for wrecking "my" driver Matt Kenseth.......

Is that the first NASCAR redboard in this site's history?

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
