Why is there no NASCAR thread?

[Tricknologist]

I've seen NASCAR threads on all kinds of unrelated forums. BITOG not having one seems really odd.

probably because NASCAR is like religion to some of the southern folk lol jk. I guess there could be a sports feed for automotive sports and non auto sports.

NASCAR was worth watching in the 90's and before.
I just have no interest in it now.

Because people will just make snarky comments - and the actual fans won’t appreciate that at all …

I DVR several races a year, Bristol, Daytona, Martinsville then FF through the fluff. I can watch a 500 mile race in an hour.

If I had known they were that fast !

Races are too long. When it takes half a day-night to run a race, who has that much boredom and-or time?

Can’t do it.

I think we need a baseball thread lol. Not really into NASCAR though I do like Joey Logano because he was super cool to meet when I was a kid at my first race.

OP-
Maybe you're unaware, but we have a sub-forum dedicated to race car teams, driver, etc ...
I've moved your thread here; where it belongs.

I can watch all that matters in a 500 mile race in the last 20 laps. Oops - snarky comment.

Do you realize YOU can create one ?

If someone searches for "nascar", they might find it, but having this 'topic' buried a) in a sub-forum for "lubrication" and then lumped together with racing oils and engines seems like an afterthought.

I'm convinced most NASCAR fans are just waiting for the next crash... In that vein, NOTHING beats the last few laps of a Daytona 500!

 

[PontiacHO]

Unfortunately all NASCAR races are races of attrition. Rarely does the fastest car win. Whoever is still there at the end…

NASCAR is impossible to watch because there are 5-6 Tv providers for the races and it just isn’t worth the hassle. Some good racing, especially the road and short tracks. But the 400-500 races are really just waiting for a wreck or the last 2 laps. I don’t have the patience.

Good short track racing at N. Wilkesboro. Built in 1947 and abandoned since 1996, in the last few years it’s been rehabbed/rebuilt and brought back as a NASCAR points race and seems better than ever.

Too busy watching MotoGP.

I think the fall of nascar began with national races.....outside the southeast. It made it impossible for the normal folk to try their hand in racing. Too expensive

That and Toyota being in nascar.

I never understood how Toyota was added. Stock car racing was based on a RWD, V8, carbureted car, sold to the public. Toyota never had that.
