What if it turns out that NASCAR is really just a reality TV show, and it's all scripted?
|
Just don't give up the secret of the matrix until the units are prepared.
The D-tuna 500 has been scripted since restricter plate racing came on the scene, now it's a mega hype soap opera with a demo derby thrown in.

Just tune in with 10 laps left and you'll see all that really matters.
|
I didn't even turn it on at all and I'm pretty sure I still saw all that really matters.

With all the minority ad actors the next thing we will see is bubba win 10 or 12 races.

I never cease to be amazed at how many Sprint Car fans watch Daytona because they can't stand NASCAR. I guess there has to be something to bash.

I'm not a NASCAR fan but I do watch Daytona, Talladega (Sometimes Charlotte). Anything that goes close to 200 mph on 4 wheels I will usually watch. Plus after looking and brown trees & ice and snow for 4 months Daytona is actually something I look forward to. Obviously I am not alone, Seems like whether they admit it or not, everyone in this thread watched it.
I will say now that Larson is in it, I did follow it a little closer last year than many years in the past.

Track was crap, worst track prep I've ever seen The racing was bad. I will never go there again. Every other track in this country must be better than that crap hole.
|
Yeah, I mean by the time they got the cars lined up for feature, the track was already hard as asphalt.

I was there and had a great time at the 500.
The sounds of cars going at insane speed having a chess match was cool in person.
There long asphalt races and need to be seen as just that. Winchester / Salem / IRP races are no different .
Heck even 100 lap dirt silver crown races have long runs of single file.
Ocala or should I say "pooh-cala" haha that was some good dirt racing saturday night before the 500.
The bathrooms blew out and the smell was horrible anywhere you tried to go though haha.

I suppose if this who want to discuss the race shared their thoughts while those who dont want to discuss the race didnt share their thoughts life would be better in HHs
Even though I may not know you, I
care what most of you think!
