Daytona 500
 

I know there are a few NASCAR followers on here. How cool is it that a rookie just womn the biggest race in NASCAR? 20 year old Trevor Bayne, awesome win! Ford finished 1-2-3:party::na: Great day of racing:intello:

yes i think its agreat thing and was a good race

It was the most boring Daytona 500 I had ever watched.

What happened to Ambrose? how come he went out the back door?

agreed

They need to liven it up a bit with a few right turns...

Watch superbike racing, much more interesting. Those guys are true animals out there. You will not find a better show of true athleticism outside of of the olympic track events. Plus the races are less than 1/2 hr.

I'd watch NASCAR, if it was figure 8 or all road coarse..
F1 and AMA motocross have been getting tv time in my house.

Are you kidding me? There was always action on the track throughout the enitre race! Alot of fast cars were wrecked sunday, would have liked to see JR and Regan Smith finish well. Was it a different than past daytona 500's? Absolutley

JR doesn't know how to drive :na::na:. It doesn't matter if he's got the best equipment out there. I'm really glad a 20 year old rookie won the race.

Of course every Daytona 500 I watched since 1979 were different, but like I said, this one was the most boring :whistle::rofl:.

Bring on the road courses. Superbike, supercross and Gt racing are more exciting to watch.

I am no JR groupie but I do like to see him run good and he had a good car. Also it is very cool to see a young kid win the 500 in his 2nd cup start ever, who woulda thought?

Love NASCAR,but the race was boring. I'm sticking to rally cars and torc racing,nothing quite like 850hp OFF road and beaten the crap outta each other.--josh

As in World SBK? love watching that & only a few more sleeps until Phillip Island

Corser or Aitchison FTW

i lived in daytona for 8 years. and even living there it was boring. now the cool race. when the Rolex 24 hour race came into town. you could get in for a couple bucks, they had a carnival going. there is nothing like watching those prototype cars from a giant ferris wheel.

they should do the same track for the daytona 500. i bet half the racers would like road racing better anyway. specially stewart, robby gordon, and montoya.

Boring or not, I am glad to see Harvick blow up. :na:

To each his own.
 

To each his own as the saying goes. All forms of racing have their apeal. From drag racing, to NASCAR, to F1, to rally racing, all forms of motorbike racing, and yes even snowmobile racing. No need to bash on any of them just because they are not your cup of tea, unless you have actually been out there ripping up the track showing us your talents to prove that it is boring. I found it most interesting watching them drive 200+ mph with their foot to the floor 90% of the time, bumper to bumper with another car. Try that on the highway for a 100 miles and then come back in here and tell us how boring it is. :diablo:

It's the thrill of being able to do something that no one else in the world can and live to share the experience. I am sure that most people would not even be able to drive over 100 mph without pissing themselves. 200 mph for 4 to 5 hours trying not to get caught up in a wreck seems pretty exciting to me whether it is left turns, right turns, or no turns. :whistle::party:

It's also funny how all of these F1 drivers are jumping over from F1 to NASCAR and not only are they having a hard time keeping up, but they are having the time of their lives doing so. I would be willing to bet that most of us could jump into a car and drive the a$$ off of it around town near 100 mph, but would also believe that most of us would not last ten minutes on the Daytona track and most likely never even reach 200 mph. But then why get into a pissing contest over your opinion of NASCAR when you can just do it yourself and then come tell us that it is for sissys.:na:
