NASCAR FANS???

Finally saw the new cars on track today, I love that new fusion. It looks really mean, the Camry looks good, not sure about the Chevy yet. I know I know.. Not a lot of people don't like NASCAR, think its just turning left.. There is a lot more to it, I know, I used to think the same, even though it looks old school and no technology, there really is a lot into it.. I'd pick 41 cars bumping and banging and racing then 20 cars driving single file because if they "overtake" to hard then they get a penalty like F1.. There used to be good racing in F1 but they cut their balls off.. While I love the tech there.. I love watching NASCAR.. I'm not as bad as I used to be, watching every weekend and ever practice.. But i was waiting for the new cars to come out

Hoping for a good year

if anyone wants to go to the Nascar Hall of Fame, hit me up, and i'll go with you.

that being said, while i've never been interested in current nascar, i love seeing the history of it.

I'm a NASCAR fan. As you say, a lot of people aren't but one of the big things I appreciate about NASCAR is you don't see the drivers threatening to go on strike, or better yet, actually going on strike.

Used to be a die hard NASCAR fan, but I haven't been following as much in recent years. I've been to the Pepsi 400/Coke Zero 400 in Daytona about 4 times. First two times I went, Tony Stewart won (favorite driver ).

been so busy with the new shop I haven't been up on the nascar stuff. I'd consider myself a big fan (been to 6 consecutive fall races at dover with 'hot' passes at the last two)

the new fusion looks mean

looking forward to the 500 in a couple weeks.

wait a minute - a rowdy busch fan? booooo! lol
