I've been glancing on the qualifying this evening. I might see the race.
Indeed more interesting than ovals.

won't happen... rednecks can't focus enough or think enough to have to think about doing anything other than driving in an oval

I love that commercial with one of the andretti's teaching that kid how to drive. he is making all these left hand turns..and the kid asks if they can turn right, and andretti says, "why would you want to turn right?"

LMAO

NASCAR (and oval racing) is fairly simple. Anyone can do it (meaning skilled drivers from other types of racing). Its boring to watch hour after hour of oval racing where much of the passing is based on aerodynamics and drafting....not something a viewer can actually see.

Road racing is where the skills come in...that is until it becomes poorly managed like f1.

There are several open wheel racers in nascar and I don't think they would all agree with that statement. Some do good and a couple are doing very bad.

Without Jimmy Spencer the race is going to be a lot less interesting.

poorly managed? the reason F1 is boring is because of their aerodynamics... 1967 was the last year where F1 had no spoilers and those people had balls driving around Nurburgring like they're sliding on ice. :Q

It's a lot more than that. It seems ignorant people don't understand Nascar.

That looks like an interesting series.
Some of the tracks seem to be a bit short, no?

Has anyone here ever heard of the 'Mille Miglia'?
Quite impressive if you want to think about 'road racing'.
