NASCAR
I’m sorry but I just have to know, what is so special about NASCAR? I mean, who thought of this? Where else in America can you watch cars drive? Oh yea, Everywhere! Now its not that I HATE the sport, but I don’t think it’s a very interesting sport to be honest. I would go to a nascar race if I wanted to see how to execute a left hand turn at 200 mph, but that’s pretty much it. Other than that, there is no reason that I would go to a NASCAR race. But just to be fair, lets weigh the pro’s and con’s about it:
Pro:
1. Cars driving fast,
2. All the left turns you could want,
3. Maybe a cool crash if your lucky.
Con’s:
1. A huge waste of time, (but then again if you think about it, most sports are).
2. You have to pay money.
3. Its boring.
4. Everything is expensive.
5. Think about it people, you drive to a stadium and pay money to watch other cars drive, and then you drive home and feel somewhat satisfied about how you spent your last 5 hours. And I just KNOW that everyone who drives home from any nascar event is pretending he/she is racing the other cars on the freeway.
Now I know that somebody out there who loves nascar is going to bash me on something and tell me how much they hate me or how ignorant I am, but I just have to tell you how I feel about sports. What kind of friend would I be if I let you all think that I actually liked nascar? And why is it mostly a southern sport? I don’t get that. How did they adopt this as the “Official sport of the south”? For all I care they can have it. To me the top best sports to watch (in no particular order) are: Football and Basketball. The most boring to watch is NASCAR, bowling and golf. There is just no way to make bowling and golf interesting to watch. NASCAR can be interesting if something explodes or catches fire or something, but if nothing goes wrong then its really not all that great. I think we should stick with our physically demanding sports and not rely on a machine to get us a trophy or a flag or whatever they get for winning. A new seatbelt or something sounds appropriate.
Anyways, hope to hear your thoughts.

NASCAR is a chess match. The set-up of the cars, the in race adjustments and in-race strategy.
Most so-called boring things are called boring because you do not understand. I know chess in interesting it is just not my cup of tea.
Racing is buddies, beer and speed too.
Golf has to be the most boring. Everytime you flip past a golf tournament on TV, all you see is this huge spread of green.
I've always wondered how you go to be a spectator for golf. You just go from hole to hole and you have to be very quiet? Lame!
Thanks Anonymous. That really clears things up. Oh FYI, Im not talking about chess at all. I'm talking about NASCAR, which has absolutly nothing to do with chess. I am aware that i dont understand everything about NASCAR and because i dont, that makes it boring. If you knew nothing about basketball or football you could understand what the rules are and the object of the game after about 2 minutes. In nascar, it should only take you 2.4 seconds to figure out what is going on and that you hate it because its so simple and boring.
P.S. Awesome comment Zach.
You too sadie. Golf is so stupid and boring to watch. Its really sad.
I LOVE this; a guy bashing pro sports.
Don't forget about tennis, Ian. Very boring! As George Carlin says: "Tennis is just ping pong played ON the table."
i realy dont enjoy nascar eithor, never have but then agian im not a southerner eithor, i think without beer nascar wouldnt be a sport haha! jk.
You all make me laugh. Nascar is like if you've seen one race you've seen them all. There are no great talents or moves or plays to impress the fans. It's mainly just a sport that gives people an excuse to drink. People who don't have anything else to do. yea, dumb and pointless.

I was lookin through your blogs and pictures..very nice..then I came across this one about Nascar. Im not a Nascar fan..But I do LOVE open wheeled racing! Champcar to be exact.. I know it might sound boring..but its way different than Nascar..these cars go faster and do not do Oval tracks,a dn theres always a crash Lol.(the best part ever) Once you get to know the drivers names and stuff it can get exciting...Did you know these guys have to be in super good shape? Yup...those cars are a bitch to drive.... :) Just my opinion..You have a friend who loves racing. :-)
Let me tell you somthing about Nascar Ian. Anybody can take a basketball, practice and become great,same with Golf,Baseball,Football etc, but driving 200mph two inches away from other cars in every direction takes nuts made of pure steel,thats somthing you cant practice for, you ethier have it or you dont,Also I didnt like Nascar until I went to a race in person, its a whole diffrent experience that demands respect im gonna take you to a race when you get back, ok cuz I love you be safe
