IMO.

the cars are ugly - noone can deny that, and the technology is somewhat -
cumbersome.

And they handle like trucks.

Yes, you have to hate any series that ends up with 5-6 cars that have a
chance to win with 5 laps to go.  Boring!
I'd much sooner watch F1 where I can see the first lap and know who wins,
that way I have the rest of the day free to do something else besides watch
the race ;-)

Good try at a troll so early in the morning but pretty weak overall.

If nascar is sooo interesting then why is it not a world-wide
phenomenon...almost all nascar fans are americans... global apeal is
important in showing how good a series is.
 imHo there are about 2000 different racing series the world over that
include every form of motorsport. Personally id put nascar near the bottom
of the list for appeal. ( somewhere near drag racing prolly :)

hehe, think your just a bad nascar driver and/or a sour looser
It's a great game for a lot of people, if it isn't for you keep your mouth
shut.

I'm not American.  NASCAR is big here in Canada as well as is all forms of
stock car racing.

Yup, we are all open to our own opinions and everyone likes different
things.  That about all we can say on it as this is purely an opinion based
discussion.  Same can be said about anything really.

To each their own I guess, I see this "discussion" going no where, good
luck.

I should know better than to reply to trolls, guess I'm still light headed
from this cold.
