I’m sick of the people claiming motorsports isn’t real sports because they’re just driving around. Don’t compare yourself driving 80mph on a highway to driving 200mph for 500 miles. Nobody comes close to driving 500 miles going to and from work in a day. I don’t think people understand what goes into being a professional driver. NASCAR requires patience, strategy and endurance. Majority of us would never be able to run an entire Daytona 500 or Coke 600 race, the inside of a car gets up to 120 Fahrenheit plus wearing a firs suit and helmet, this would just be on a good day. Indy and F1 drivers constantly deal with the same G-forces a fighter jet pilot endures if not more. Absolutely none of us (non-racers) would be able to do that without getting killed unless you’re a fighter pilot or astronaut.
@@thicccheese4007not only that, by definition competitive racing is a sport. Hunting and fishing are considered sports because the only prerequisite is that people do it for competition, so... Like the original comment stated some people just like looking like a fool because that's what anyone who says motor sports aren't sports looks like.
that was my life, too. I've born and raised in Atlanta of all places. Wherever all those fans were in the 1990s and 2000s, they were nowhere near here!
@@BrianIsTheGOAT594I get why the rainbow is used to describe the multifaceted concept that is human sexuality. I also get why Dupont used a multicolored paint scheme on Gordon's car considering they literally sell color. What I never got were the people that made the jump to Gordon and his fans being homo. I've theorized folks like that are just projecting a self-loathing with a Freudian Slip. Regardless I couldn't care less and remain a huge Gordon fan.
The definition of "sport" is anything people compete over, especially in leagues with governing rules. If shuffleboard and billiards etc are sports, obviously racing of any kind where teams and individuals are competing against one another is definitely a sport. Hell hunting and fishing is considered "sport." People have no argument when the last two are mentioned from my experience lol.
What i didnt understand back in grade school is why the other kids made fun of me for watching nascar??? Like if people dont like basketball, they just dont watch it... but with nascar they HAVE to make fun of you. Its so stupid.
They act like nascar is easy even tho it takes time and effort. Not everyone can race in nascar, but everyone can sure as hell play basketball, even kids. It's that easy.
NASCAR's difficulty becomes pretty apparent when you realize three F1 legends raced on road courses *exclusively* over the past 3 seasons and none of them have even gotten a top 15. And when Juan Pablo Montoya's NASCAR career was longer than his F1 career but he waws never able to win once on a "circle".
I understand what you're saying, but they *are* different types of auto racing. You can be insanely good at all kinds of video games but you wouldn't be able to compete at CS:GO in the same way as League of Legends.
As a NASCAR fan, I used to keep myself quiet and not tell my friends about it. One day in high school, I decided to tell them that I was a NASCAR Fan after talking about motorsports... well, I got made fun of and to this day, I still don't get it. What is the problem with being a NASCAR Fan? You have the power to make your own choices and follow whatever sport you like... you shouldn't be getting clowned and made fun of just for being a NASCAR fan.
What trully pisses me off, is that the people i know like F1, and I have NEVER sayed anything bad against it, (afterall all motorsports are pretty good though obviously i have a preference towards Nascar) but when i talk about Nascar they do this stupid statements and brag about how F1 is 'better' for the same two guys leading every single race and one of them winning all the races and i have backed off to tell them to shut the hell up but i wont lower myself to their level. Thanks for making this video it made me feel better 😊
As a 16 year old boy I get bullied for liking NASCAR, people say to me oh your sport sucks and all they do is turn left and you just watch for the crashes. However these people don’t know I can easily dumb down basketball and football
NASCAR drivers have longer careers than most sports (besides Golf). You are also competitive for longer. In sports like baseball, basketball, hockey, and football by the time you are in your late 30s to early 40s, you are already retired or are close to been retired. Even in F1, by the time you are in your late 30's you are "old" by F1 standards. Guys are winning races and championships into their 40s and winning races into their early 50s (Harry Gant did that, I don't think anyone else can come close to that now). Jimmie Johnson is the only racecar driver to win AP Male Athlete of the Year in 2009. "There are only 3 real sports,: bullfighting, mountaineering, and auto racing. The rest are merely games." Ernest Hemingway
Alonso in F1 is coming up on 42 but like yu said, exception, not the rule. You could throw tennis in the mix as well for long careers and though it's not a giant global sport, darts tends to have longer careers as well. Then again darts is mostly European however
Fastest they went was 215mph at Michigan. You are thinking of Indycar that reaches 220+mph. Also reminder that there is a legitimate chance that they could beat that 236mph record at Indy this year.
@@thejman3489gen 4 car, Rusty Wallace hit 228mph confirmed in 2004 at Talladega unrestricted. They definitely could’ve topped 230 no problem in the following years with innovations had they wanted to
@ba.diecast24 I looked it up and had never seen that article before. Previously the only thing listed was the 216mph average speed. That still is just a test though. They didn't run near that fast during a race or qualifying.
I used to be scared to mention I'm a nascar fan but now that I'm trying to become a nascar technician I'm very proud of being a nascar fan Edit: I also took my GF to the Daytona 500 this year ever since she's been a proud nascar race fan and in her first year of watching she hasn't missed a single race so a message to all nascar fans our SPORT is something we all should be very proud of to represent and don't let other people's opinions hold you back from what you love the nascar community is a lovely place especially at nascar events❤️
I tell people “Why don’t you get paid big money to drive in NASCAR because it’s so easy?” But I’m really at the point where if somebody wants to say some stupid shit I just let em be stupid, no use in trying to educate somebody who doesn’t want to hear it
For my friends that were against it, I’ve taken them to a circle track race to show them what it’s all about. Once they sit down with some good food and watch the green flag drop. It’s always game over. They’re hooked. Every single hater I’ve brought to an actual event are still fans. Nothing beats going to the races in person.
i HATE it when people say "how do you like a sport where people just drive cars in circles for hours straight" i wanna just look at them say "get the fuck outta my face" and just walk away
Especially because they technically don't even drive in a circle on most tracks, they drive on an oval. The fact that NASCAR also races on road courses with left and right turns makes the naysayers look even more ignorant.
I have been a nascar fan since my introduction to the sport in 2011 and I fucking HATE when people talk shit about nascar. I will tell you I’m proud to be a fan and I will defend this sport to the ends of the earth.
I've been NascarFast since I was 6. Now im 37. Now 3 of my kids are nascar fans. Have their own drivers. Always watching with me, every Sunday..taking in all the info they need to know about a car. And what it takes too drive it. #1-#9-#12-#22-#23. We are a Nascar Family

i've worn nascar merch in school as a southern californian and tbh i don't recall getting clowned on by classmates, hell i've met teachers & recess aids that are fans of the sport like myself. looking back i'm proud i did that because i not only did i show my personality no matter what, but also it seems like people didn't care or were respectful. on top of that, brand awareness for nascar today is everything and the fact i did it without a single issue makes me even more proud. nascar needs more fans to show the sport off!! it's actually so much fun when you get the stupid-ass stereotypes out of the way
NASCAR today has shifted a lot from what it used to be. It's no longer like Indycar and Formula 1 where the focus is having a fair competition. It's become more like Monster Jam where, while it is still a competition, the focus for the series is to entertain the fans. This is very evident when you look at how many cautions they throw every race. They use them like it's a blue shell in Mario Kart. Simply just to pull the leader back with everyone else and give other drivers multiple opportunities to take the lead of the race. Because that's entertaining.
So true. I'm german, and a bit of a NASCAR Fan. Here in germany NASCAR is not exactly well known. Most of us only know NASCAR from movies like "Days of Thunder" or maybe this "Ricky Bobby" Movie (sorry, i dont know the correct tiltle). If you talk to them it's always "how boring, how stupid. They only drive around in circles". Yes, so does F1, so does MotoGP and other Motorsports, maybe except for Rally. In soccer 22 guys run across a field chasing a ball....and so on. There are many many sports where you could say "how stupid is that" or "how boring, all they do is.......". Several years ago, i gave NASCAR a chance, got into it, learned about drafting and all those things that make NASCAR interesting. I even had some favorite drivers like Dale Sr. , Matt Kenseth, Mark Martin and some others. It is an interesting sport and people should give it a chance.
I think the ignorance with NASCAR is due to people not realizing the skill required to drive like they do. With other sports (baseball for example), people realize that practically anyone can throw a baseball or even learn to hit one, but they won’t be able to throw nearly as fast and accurate or hit nearly as hard and consistently as the professionals. But with NASCAR, everyone seems to think it’s just driving. And “hey, I can drive well, so they’re just driving faster and in circles. How hard could it be?”, not realizing how much more difficult it is to not only drive those stock cars, but to drive them so close to the edge of their limits that they’re within milliseconds of the fastest humanly possible time around a track.
I was a fan of Nascar from the late 70s until 2007 when the Car of Tomorrow debuted, along with the new points and playoffs, and stage racing. I lost interest and changed to Formula 1 as my primary series to watch. even to today, I just watch the highlights of Nascar.
Absolutely agree with everything said. to those that say these guys are not athletes', you try driving these beasts for 3-4 hours. Bottom line, NASCAR is a sport, same as football, baseball, etc.
I hate it when people say that nascar is not a sport and all they do is turn left Because it is a sport And hello we have road courses to I would like to see you people get in a full blown stock car and see how easy it is because it ain’t as easy as you think These drivers have to have some god absolute talent to drive these things These cars aren’t like the car in your driveway these things go over 100mph and are absolute beasts of machines And it’s not just the drivers the crews as well NASCAR & Racing in General deserves to be called a sport & Race Car Drivers Are Athletes 🏁
I made an entire speech in a college class as a presentation and showed what defines racing as a sport. Even threw out the fatalities, injuries, and other stuff drivers have in common with other athletes. I managed to get some people to watch the LA Clash through it and they liked it casually. Heck, that was in 2021 when I began turning into a fan of NASCAR overall and became a fan of Larson. The funny thing is that Larson was kind of an inspiration to me when I got depressed in 2020 after everything that happened, and becoming a fan started all because of a hilarious and janky Sonic the Hedgehog fangame called SRB2 Kart.
See: Talladega. The margin for error at that track is so thin. To me, the best Dega races are the ones without a Big One (1997 and 2001 caution free spring 500’s). It takes so much skill to go 500 miles at THAT track and all 40+ drivers make no mistakes
0:33 thank you because this has always been my rebuttal to people who say nascar is just driving in circles. My point being you can dumb down just about anything to its core to where it sounds silly
Here in Iowa it's rarely an issue. There were a bunch of kids in my elementary school who had NASCAR backpacks, and most people I've worked with are either current or former fans. Heck, one of the managers at my current job worked for Blue Max Racing in 1990. I've never really heard it joked about in real life settings, just online.
I proudly admit that I love NASCAR and it’s gotten to the point where the left turn jokes are so annoying I don’t even talk to those kids anymore. Then they say “F1 is way harder” like bro, they have never watched an F1 or NASCAR race in their lives.
As a British Nascar fan, this hit home. The sheer amount of other motorsport fans (mainly from 1 certain series) have said the same thing is absurd. The worst part is they dont care if you actually show their point is wrong. SVG winning last year while great came with so much hate that Nascar drivers are bad at right turns, but these same people havent seen how SVG is doing in Xfinity this year. He has had a 3rd place and a 6th place at Atlanta and Phoenix but hasn't been in the top 10 at any other races. And then at Indy last year and COTA this year in the Cup he got 10th and 20th. If anything his performance at Chicago showed how he is in mixed conditions ratger than Nascar drivers are bad at road/street races.
I have always been proud to show I was a fan. Even in school when kids would make fun of me I would just ask them have they ever bothered to even watch a race for more than a minute. Usually it is no and I explain that I don’t expect everyone to like a sport but I will never understand why people will go out of their way to make fun of NASCAR. Like I don’t see people purposely try to talk trash about tennis or track yet with NASCAR (sometimes all motorsports) they have to let you know it is stupid. The only reason I can think of why that happens is because almost everyone drives a car so therefore they are like “well I can go 80mph and turn the car so it must not be hard”. They never bother to actually see how much work the driver is doing behind the wheel or how big of a difference 80 mph is to 190 mph. However I will say that direct hate for the sport has died off a bit and now most of it comes from F1 fans that have to make sure and tell you why F1 is the greatest motorsport ever and everything else is garbage 😂
THANK YOU for this video, now i know what to link to the ignorant people. Also i tell those who are uneducated, to educate themselves about the complexities of what it is to drive in Nascar.
We all heard it before, they just sit and drive. They’re only turning left. But when someone finds out my son works for NASCAR, it’s so cool. So, obviously I am proud to say I am a fan. I’m a proud nascar dad.
From the days when I did GranTurismo 5 online I can tell. I've won so many more races on the Nordschleife than any of those races on Daytona. And that's just a simcade...I don't want to know just how stressful real oval racing actually is.
When in middle/high school people would laugh if i told them I liked NASCAR. They all thought they were comedians by quoting Jeff Dunham. Now if I mention it, it's utter silence from most people. I could not pay my friends to go to a race. It's sad when it's something you love deeply and the sports they enjoy have as much depth and lore if not less.
I’ve dealt with both ignorant people and toxic F1 fans who said things like “NASCAR isn’t a sport” “NASCAR drivers aren’t athletes” “You’re delusional for watching NASCAR” “What’s so fun about watching cars drive in circles for 4-5 hours on end?” It’s annoying to me because I just don’t understand why we can’t all just appreciate each sport instead of slandering the others. NASCAR fans love to slander F1 just as much as F1 fans slander NASCAR. The same goes for stick and ball sports, there is a lot more to it than simply turning left, kicking or shooting a ball into a net, and swinging a bat and hitting it out of the park, so why can’t people just shut up and let us enjoy it. I have friends who tease me about it, but I know they don’t mean it because they watch NASCAR, F1, and stick and ball sports. We all love to playfully roast each other, because we know that we don’t actually mean it. But when it comes to actual people who are ignorant, I try to teach them. If they show me that they don’t want to learn about it, I leave them be because they aren’t worth my time and energy. Everyone that knows me knows I am a proud NASCAR fan, and they couldn’t care less. In fact, they ask me to teach them more about the sport. That is my personal experience with those people, and a bit of what I deal with on a daily basis in my personal life, and on the internet.
I was on iRacing doing Rookie Stock at Charlotte with a bunch of Europeans who had never done oval racing. They weren't shit talking it, but they definitely were learning. Rookie Stock at Charlotte isn't a long race, but they definitely came out of it with a new respect for ovals.
I’m still embarrassed to this day to tell people I’m into NASCAR. I’ll be 31 this year and have been into NASCAR since being 8 or 9 years old. I’ve never been able to find someone near me around my age who was into NASCAR. It’s been something that I just have had to enjoy by myself.
As a black dude who spent his childhood in a small Georgia town, i feel every part of this video. Its gotten to the point where if someone says NASCAR isnt a sport, i automatically end that conversation cause ik its gonna be like talking to a brickwall trying to explain it to them
NASCAR is a sport, and atheltic sport, people needs to do their research like you said, here are some perfect examples of NASCAR Drivers being Athletes... Bobby Hamilton, won the 2001 Die Hard 500 at Talladega without a single Caution flag. Jeff Gordon, won the 1999 Save Mart 350 while not feeling well, but still managed to win. Ken Schreider, Ran the entire 1998 Daytona 500 with a fractured sternum and had to wear a flak jacket. Dale Jr., Ran most of the 2002 NASCAR season while having a concussion. and the list goes on.
There is also a mental aspect to the sport to also take into account. They have to essentially sit in high speed traffic for three to four hours. I'm tired mentally from driving or two hours at 55 mph, with the comfort these guys don't have. ETA: As far as the ignorance to the sport. I don't really care. The only time I had a problem with it was when a former employer said it wasn't a sport. I have to remind myself, however, that I didn't really like him for reasons other than that.
I've been a NASCAR fan for over 35 years and I've been laughed at for being a fan but I've also changed people minds on how Nascar is a sport and how there is more to NASCAR than just turning left for hours on in, there is a ton of money in each car and for it to be wrecked out of a race costs a team alot of money to repair for next race, so people saying it's not a sport are just plain stupid, I'm proud I'm a fan and will always be a fan
I do a lot of sim racing and NASCAR is definitely one of the harder disciplines to learn. Like you have to drive the car on the edge of out of control, and that's not adding to the fact that you usually have someone in front of you behind you and beside you
Watch the 2001 Talladega spring race. To run a caution free race on a place known for The Big One that offers little margin for error at that track takes so much skill.
At this point I just laugh at these idiots. Like you said, the same people who say these things about NASCAR wouldn't last one hour on the track with these drivers. I will always have mad respect for the drivers brave enough risk their lives and get on the track cuz not everyone can. If you were to ask me if I wanted to be a racer, knowing there's a slim chance I might lose my life if I get caught up in a wreck, I'd answer yes cuz that's been a dream of mine for a long, long time.
I’ve been racing at my local track, Langley speedway in VA, for over 4 years now in their street car division. I’ve dedicated my life to the sport, every year from May-Oct I race once a week. I can assure you all- nascar, oval racing, stock car racing, any kind of vehicle racing takes A LOT of skill. A lot of practice. And a lot of understanding how to make a car SAFELY go fast. Anybody can get in a corvette and do 150- it takes talent to do that every week for years of your life and be able to live to tell it.I’ve seen a 14 time track champion smack the wall and lose their life right in front of my eyes.the sport is insane.no argument needed.
McNabb was a competent player when he was with the Eagles, but for him to say that race car drivers are "not athletes" is just dumb and is an incredibly bad take. I wonder how he'd feel if he knew that a lot of his classmates who never made it to the NFL are probably working on those race cars on Sunday, and if he never made it to the NFL, he might have gone there too. Those guys can make or break a race team, and they're just as much athletes as the drivers themselves are- carrying the tires and gas cans, being quick with the jack and the air wrench, and having the speed and coordination to do all this in under 10 seconds? That's no easy feat.
I always criticized NASCAR, until I went to a race in charlotte. It was insane in person. The in person experience is much better than any other sport by far.
Anyone who says NASCAR, or really any type of motorsport, is boring needs to be taken to see a race in-person. TV just doesn't do justice to the feeling of 20+ ridiculously overpowered cars shaking one's soul to the core.
How I handle the ignorance, is say Alright, Cool and walk away. I had plenty of people tell me, oh they're making left turns: yeah they are and shut the F up. Hell even Drag Racing is a sport even though it lasts 4 seconds every run but you got to have nerves of steel and the reaction time.
I just play along with the left turn jokes. I got into vintage clothing and a lot people wear NASCAR jackets, but have no clue who was the driver; unless it was Gordon, Dale Earnhardt, or Dale Jr.
I race in the lowest of low, a 4cyl banger series at a local track. i have MUCH respect for nascar drivers even the ones who don't show there talent due to lack of moves or cars (burton, JJ yelly and others) i run near the back so i understand that doesn't matter where you are, you got to be somewhat on pace and that isn't that easy.
People who say NASCAR is just turning left are the same people who can't back into a parking spot, these people have no idea that driving is an actual skill and just take it for granted. Driving is a skill and some can drive that machine to it's absolute it's limits, that's what it's all about
I’ve been a NASCAR fan for close to 50 years and I’ve been proud to say it. The way NASCAR is going now I’m not to sure about telling anyone anymore. And that’s sad!!! And there isn’t many sports out there that someone could be seriously hurt of killed on any given week. One more thing Donovan McNabb was barely an athlete
people saying all they do is turn left is also an insult to other racing as well, like as if Formula 1 is only difficult because they turn right sometimes?
When they say those things that you stated in the video, I tell them to put your ass in a NASCAR stock car and "left turn" around a track for a few laps at 150 MPH. Then you'll change your mind real quick! I'm referencing the NASCAR Driving Experience, of course. After I did three 8-minute segments at Daytona it gave me a whole new perspective on the sport. YES IT IS A SPORT!
EP29 - Can you do a video on this. Texas proved the "new car" is still a complete joke. In it's first year, the back end "slid out" for no reason about 100 times. (Kurt Bush ending?) Texas, a few days ago, was an absolute clown show with the "next-gen." Because Kyle Bush was used to driving a truck (something that sticks,) he lost the back end in the first few minutes of practice. Great drivers slid into the wall all day long on Sunday. Anyone can see Xfinity racing is 100 x better. (Look at the .002 result with Sieg.) Nascar Cup, via the horrible car.......... is a joke.
Honestly it does bother me that people feel this way but I just mostly ignore them. It’s whatever & they’re missing a lot of fun so it’s their loss not ours.
I'm a nascar fan from across the world, and I would say that over here, liking nascar openly is kinda fine by most of the people. There are some that also question me on why I like it, there are some videos I show and use to further explain to them why I like it a lot, and they seem open mind about it too, which is nice
Every sport can be given NASCARized jokes. Football- 2 groups of men beating the shit out of each other for a ball Baseball- [Umpire has ejected me for thinking] Golf- 🛌 Bowling- Why is this a professional tv sport..? Hockey- Aight this is cool. No jokes.
Im a proud Nascar fan. I am a fan of other sports, but as soon as the disrespect comes, i do not hesitate to dumb down their favorite sport. Quite fun actually. Especially when the person debating with me is a cowboys fan.
Love Nascar and never thought my wife would like Nascar either.....we watch it every weekend. She is a Kyle Busch fan and converted me to rooting for Kyle before Gibbs left him. Lets Go Blaney
Hahahaha I'm like half way through the video and haven't heard a word you said because I'm just listening to the song. Ain't nobody ever gonna edit another video about Nascar to Amityville for the rest of history hahahahah you literally never miss bro 😂🤝
i've been a nascar fan since about 2004. was a longtime fan of dale jr until he retired and have been a fan of truex jr since his busch championships. i'm also a huge wrestling fan so i get all the stupid questions and comments from haters when they find out i watch both. "all they do is turn left", they've been racing on road courses for about 70 years. "wrestling is just grown men in underwear touching each other", so is mma by that logic. i've learned from online video games and being bullied growing up to brush off the haters. why get mad at them when i can just piss them off by not reacting
Now days all I get when I say I’m a NASCAR fan is “F1 is so much better” and “nascar is so boring”. First of all they have never actually watched a race in either series. Then after I say that, they play the “you only turn left” and then I say “well nascar actually races at the f1 track in Austin”. It’s usually silence after that but I can have the same conversation a week later like nothing changed lol.
All I can say to these people is, get into a car that is 125 to 150 degrees, going almost 200 mph, with another car 1 inch from you as you go into a corner. Also another car 1 inch off your back bumper waiting for you to jack up and send you flying into a concrete wall!! Go ahead, 90% of the people wouldn't have the nerves to do it without any other car on the track!! IGNORANCE for sure!
I do have a real question... do the other NASCAR fans consider local short track divisions a sport? I drive a 4 cylinder at a quarter mile track with 33 degree banks, but our races are 25 laps long, but I've done a 200 lapper and I could barely support my neck. Also consider I'm somewhat of an owner driver, building the car myself. What category do y'all think that fits under?
Elite clearly needs to rage, haha. But bruh, I felt this. Apparently NASCAR was the 2nd most popular sport in the country in the 1990s and 2000s, but I don't know where the hell all those folks were because I'm a lifer in ATLANTA of all places and outside of my family I only ever knew enough NASCAR fans to count on one hand at a time. Dealt with the same garbage of "only turning left" and "I drove to school, I'm an athlete now, right?" Everything in the book has been read to me. As I matured I got to the point where it didn't bother me, I just let them drivel and move on. Y'all the ones missing out, not me. Keep simping for the NFL and boring ass F1.
My favorite saying is " football,baseball,basketball,golf all require one ball racing takes two"
I'm adopting that. 😂
Haha! I have that sticker!
Exactly..it takes two,which explains Damage-ya Patrick's career..the balls can't be contained THEY MUST SWANG!!😁
As a 39 year old black man who grew up loving Rusty Wallace and Nascar, i felt every word of this episode lol
haha you gotta be from up north.
Those people who say that NASCAR is not a sport are not true sports fans. They want to make themselves look like fools.
I’m sick of the people claiming motorsports isn’t real sports because they’re just driving around.
Don’t compare yourself driving 80mph on a highway to driving 200mph for 500 miles. Nobody comes close to driving 500 miles going to and from work in a day.
I don’t think people understand what goes into being a professional driver. NASCAR requires patience, strategy and endurance. Majority of us would never be able to run an entire Daytona 500 or Coke 600 race, the inside of a car gets up to 120 Fahrenheit plus wearing a firs suit and helmet, this would just be on a good day. Indy and F1 drivers constantly deal with the same G-forces a fighter jet pilot endures if not more. Absolutely none of us (non-racers) would be able to do that without getting killed unless you’re a fighter pilot or astronaut.
I agree 100%.

What i didnt understand back in grade school is why the other kids made fun of me for watching nascar??? Like if people dont like basketball, they just dont watch it... but with nascar they HAVE to make fun of you. Its so stupid.
They act like nascar is easy even tho it takes time and effort.
Not everyone can race in nascar, but everyone can sure as hell play basketball, even kids. It's that easy.
I love how these "sports fans" will mock you for liking NASCAR but then insist that Golf is a sport.
NASCAR's difficulty becomes pretty apparent when you realize three F1 legends raced on road courses *exclusively* over the past 3 seasons and none of them have even gotten a top 15.
And when Juan Pablo Montoya's NASCAR career was longer than his F1 career but he waws never able to win once on a "circle".
I mean Jacques Villeneuve raced at Daytona in 2022 so very close to exclusively road courses
I understand what you're saying, but they *are* different types of auto racing. You can be insanely good at all kinds of video games but you wouldn't be able to compete at CS:GO in the same way as League of Legends.
Juan almost had the 2010 Brickyard 400, he was the guy to beat. But got nailed speeding on the last pit cycle.
"All NASCAR does is turn left DUR🥴" Ok all F1 does is let Max Verstappen win every race
Yep imagine liking f1 💀
F1 gay as fuck 😂
At least F1 builds their own cars unlike, modern NASCAR.
@@rexthewolf3149 At least nascar don't close the doors to new teams or manufacturers saying "it doesn't add value to the sport".
@@rexthewolf3149 building your own cars doesn't matter
As a NASCAR fan, I used to keep myself quiet and not tell my friends about it. One day in high school, I decided to tell them that I was a NASCAR Fan after talking about motorsports... well, I got made fun of and to this day, I still don't get it. What is the problem with being a NASCAR Fan? You have the power to make your own choices and follow whatever sport you like... you shouldn't be getting clowned and made fun of just for being a NASCAR fan.
Probably because you like a motorsports while they like/play ball sports (I've had this experience as well)
Im also a high school student thats a Nascar fan
There are only 3 sports in the world: Bullfighting, Motor racing, and Mountaineering.

“All they do is drive in circles” is such a hilarious argument when you realize all forms of racing with laps is literally the same thing
1:34 THANK YOU, SOMEBODY SPEAKING MY MIND FOR ONCE
What trully pisses me off, is that the people i know like F1, and I have NEVER sayed anything bad against it, (afterall all motorsports are pretty good though obviously i have a preference towards Nascar) but when i talk about Nascar they do this stupid statements and brag about how F1 is 'better' for the same two guys leading every single race and one of them winning all the races and i have backed off to tell them to shut the hell up but i wont lower myself to their level. Thanks for making this video it made me feel better 😊
As a 16 year old boy I get bullied for liking NASCAR, people say to me oh your sport sucks and all they do is turn left and you just watch for the crashes. However these people don’t know I can easily dumb down basketball and football
I remember in 7th grade some kid made this huge argument NASCAR was wasting fuel 😂
NASCAR drivers have longer careers than most sports (besides Golf). You are also competitive for longer. In sports like baseball, basketball, hockey, and football by the time you are in your late 30s to early 40s, you are already retired or are close to been retired. Even in F1, by the time you are in your late 30's you are "old" by F1 standards. Guys are winning races and championships into their 40s and winning races into their early 50s (Harry Gant did that, I don't think anyone else can come close to that now).
Jimmie Johnson is the only racecar driver to win AP Male Athlete of the Year in 2009. "There are only 3 real sports,: bullfighting, mountaineering, and auto racing. The rest are merely games." Ernest Hemingway
The only dude i can think of from hockey who had a long career is Gordie Howe who played his final season at the age of 52
Alonso in F1 is coming up on 42 but like yu said, exception, not the rule.
You could throw tennis in the mix as well for long careers and though it's not a giant global sport, darts tends to have longer careers as well. Then again darts is mostly European however
I think everyone needs to watch this video before saying anything crap about NASCAR. Thank you.
Also, older generation of cars (gen 4 through gen 6 pre '14), the cars had about 850hp with top speeds capable of reaching 230mph plus.
I wish I could still say this about modern NASCAR lol
Fastest they went was 215mph at Michigan. You are thinking of Indycar that reaches 220+mph. Also reminder that there is a legitimate chance that they could beat that 236mph record at Indy this year.
@@thejman3489gen 4 car, Rusty Wallace hit 228mph confirmed in 2004 at Talladega unrestricted. They definitely could’ve topped 230 no problem in the following years with innovations had they wanted to
@ba.diecast24 I looked it up and had never seen that article before. Previously the only thing listed was the 216mph average speed. That still is just a test though. They didn't run near that fast during a race or qualifying.
I used to be scared to mention I'm a nascar fan but now that I'm trying to become a nascar technician I'm very proud of being a nascar fan
Edit: I also took my GF to the Daytona 500 this year ever since she's been a proud nascar race fan and in her first year of watching she hasn't missed a single race so a message to all nascar fans our SPORT is something we all should be very proud of to represent and don't let other people's opinions hold you back from what you love the nascar community is a lovely place especially at nascar events❤️
Nah dude this so relatable yesterday my brother said I was crazy for thinking NASCAR is more physically demanding than golf 💀
💀
Massive F1 fan here, trying to get into NASCAR
Very happy this video exists
I tell people “Why don’t you get paid big money to drive in NASCAR because it’s so easy?” But I’m really at the point where if somebody wants to say some stupid shit I just let em be stupid, no use in trying to educate somebody who doesn’t want to hear it
Definitely took me until college to start proudly showing how big of a fan I am. Living in NY my life as a fan definitely a ton of ignorance lol.
I feel you as a Northerner too
1:06 When someone asks me which Taylor Swift song is my favorite
For my friends that were against it, I’ve taken them to a circle track race to show them what it’s all about. Once they sit down with some good food and watch the green flag drop. It’s always game over. They’re hooked. Every single hater I’ve brought to an actual event are still fans. Nothing beats going to the races in person.
Lol, I've been hammered with that all my life! I recently had a woman say the same old (how hard can it be?) line. I simply said, ask Danica Patrick.
I have been a racing fan all my life! All varieties! Anything with an engine and someone trying to be faster!
i HATE it when people say "how do you like a sport where people just drive cars in circles for hours straight" i wanna just look at them say "get the fuck outta my face" and just walk away
Ask them why they like a sport where a bunch of sweaty men shove each other and why they slap their asses a lot
Especially because they technically don't even drive in a circle on most tracks, they drive on an oval.
The fact that NASCAR also races on road courses with left and right turns makes the naysayers look even more ignorant.
I have been a nascar fan since my introduction to the sport in 2011 and I fucking HATE when people talk shit about nascar. I will tell you I’m proud to be a fan and I will defend this sport to the ends of the earth.
I've been NascarFast since I was 6. Now im 37. Now 3 of my kids are nascar fans. Have their own drivers. Always watching with me, every Sunday..taking in all the info they need to know about a car. And what it takes too drive it. #1-#9-#12-#22-#23. We are a Nascar Family

i've worn nascar merch in school as a southern californian and tbh i don't recall getting clowned on by classmates, hell i've met teachers & recess aids that are fans of the sport like myself.
looking back i'm proud i did that because i not only did i show my personality no matter what, but also it seems like people didn't care or were respectful. on top of that, brand awareness for nascar today is everything and the fact i did it without a single issue makes me even more proud. nascar needs more fans to show the sport off!! it's actually so much fun when you get the stupid-ass stereotypes out of the way
NASCAR today has shifted a lot from what it used to be. It's no longer like Indycar and Formula 1 where the focus is having a fair competition. It's become more like Monster Jam where, while it is still a competition, the focus for the series is to entertain the fans. This is very evident when you look at how many cautions they throw every race. They use them like it's a blue shell in Mario Kart. Simply just to pull the leader back with everyone else and give other drivers multiple opportunities to take the lead of the race. Because that's entertaining.
Nascar isn't just turning left and crashing excessively.
There's also punching Joey Logano and roasting Kyle Busch.
And "THANK YOU GRANDPA" whenever ty gibbs wins a race
Yes, all the time. You nailed it brother. So much ignorance.
Exactly brooo, I used to be an ignorant person towards Nascar until I learned the history and saw some good racing and I've been hooked ever since man
So true. I'm german, and a bit of a NASCAR Fan. Here in germany NASCAR is not exactly well known. Most of us only know NASCAR from movies like "Days of Thunder" or maybe this "Ricky Bobby" Movie (sorry, i dont know the correct tiltle). If you talk to them it's always "how boring, how stupid. They only drive around in circles". Yes, so does F1, so does MotoGP and other Motorsports, maybe except for Rally. In soccer 22 guys run across a field chasing a ball....and so on. There are many many sports where you could say "how stupid is that" or "how boring, all they do is.......". Several years ago, i gave NASCAR a chance, got into it, learned about drafting and all those things that make NASCAR interesting. I even had some favorite drivers like Dale Sr. , Matt Kenseth, Mark Martin and some others. It is an interesting sport and people should give it a chance.
Talladega nights is the name of the movie with Ricky Bobby (Will Ferrell)
And I definitely agree!
@@Eliteprecision29 ahhh...thanks. I looked it up, the german title is "Ricky Bobby- King of Racers" 😂😂😂
I love NASCARs no matter what anyone says!
I think the ignorance with NASCAR is due to people not realizing the skill required to drive like they do. With other sports (baseball for example), people realize that practically anyone can throw a baseball or even learn to hit one, but they won’t be able to throw nearly as fast and accurate or hit nearly as hard and consistently as the professionals.
But with NASCAR, everyone seems to think it’s just driving. And “hey, I can drive well, so they’re just driving faster and in circles. How hard could it be?”, not realizing how much more difficult it is to not only drive those stock cars, but to drive them so close to the edge of their limits that they’re within milliseconds of the fastest humanly possible time around a track.
I was a fan of Nascar from the late 70s until 2007 when the Car of Tomorrow debuted, along with the new points and playoffs, and stage racing. I lost interest and changed to Formula 1 as my primary series to watch. even to today, I just watch the highlights of Nascar.
As a NASCAR fan and a pro wrestling fan, I've gotten double the amount of ignorance for 20 years.
Absolutely agree with everything said. to those that say these guys are not athletes', you try driving these beasts for 3-4 hours. Bottom line, NASCAR is a sport, same as football, baseball, etc.
I hate it when people say that nascar is not a sport and all they do is turn left
Because it is a sport
And hello we have road courses to
I would like to see you people get in a full blown stock car and see how easy it is because it ain’t as easy as you think
These drivers have to have some god absolute talent to drive these things
These cars aren’t like the car in your driveway these things go over 100mph and are absolute beasts of machines
And it’s not just the drivers the crews as well
NASCAR & Racing in General deserves to be called a sport
& Race Car Drivers Are Athletes 🏁
I made an entire speech in a college class as a presentation and showed what defines racing as a sport. Even threw out the fatalities, injuries, and other stuff drivers have in common with other athletes. I managed to get some people to watch the LA Clash through it and they liked it casually. Heck, that was in 2021 when I began turning into a fan of NASCAR overall and became a fan of Larson.
The funny thing is that Larson was kind of an inspiration to me when I got depressed in 2020 after everything that happened, and becoming a fan started all because of a hilarious and janky Sonic the Hedgehog fangame called SRB2 Kart.
Remember.
NASCAR is basically playing chess at 120~140~160~180~200 mph. One mistake, or you get caught in someone else's mistake, and you're out.
See: Talladega. The margin for error at that track is so thin. To me, the best Dega races are the ones without a Big One (1997 and 2001 caution free spring 500’s). It takes so much skill to go 500 miles at THAT track and all 40+ drivers make no mistakes
0:33 thank you because this has always been my rebuttal to people who say nascar is just driving in circles. My point being you can dumb down just about anything to its core to where it sounds silly
Here in Iowa it's rarely an issue. There were a bunch of kids in my elementary school who had NASCAR backpacks, and most people I've worked with are either current or former fans. Heck, one of the managers at my current job worked for Blue Max Racing in 1990. I've never really heard it joked about in real life settings, just online.
I like what you said “trying to taim a beast for 3 hours” that’s a great way to describe it
I proudly admit that I love NASCAR and it’s gotten to the point where the left turn jokes are so annoying I don’t even talk to those kids anymore. Then they say “F1 is way harder” like bro, they have never watched an F1 or NASCAR race in their lives.
As a British Nascar fan, this hit home. The sheer amount of other motorsport fans (mainly from 1 certain series) have said the same thing is absurd. The worst part is they dont care if you actually show their point is wrong.
SVG winning last year while great came with so much hate that Nascar drivers are bad at right turns, but these same people havent seen how SVG is doing in Xfinity this year. He has had a 3rd place and a 6th place at Atlanta and Phoenix but hasn't been in the top 10 at any other races. And then at Indy last year and COTA this year in the Cup he got 10th and 20th. If anything his performance at Chicago showed how he is in mixed conditions ratger than Nascar drivers are bad at road/street races.
I have always been proud to show I was a fan. Even in school when kids would make fun of me I would just ask them have they ever bothered to even watch a race for more than a minute. Usually it is no and I explain that I don’t expect everyone to like a sport but I will never understand why people will go out of their way to make fun of NASCAR. Like I don’t see people purposely try to talk trash about tennis or track yet with NASCAR (sometimes all motorsports) they have to let you know it is stupid.
The only reason I can think of why that happens is because almost everyone drives a car so therefore they are like “well I can go 80mph and turn the car so it must not be hard”. They never bother to actually see how much work the driver is doing behind the wheel or how big of a difference 80 mph is to 190 mph. However I will say that direct hate for the sport has died off a bit and now most of it comes from F1 fans that have to make sure and tell you why F1 is the greatest motorsport ever and everything else is garbage 😂
"There are only 3 sports; bull-fighting, mountaineering, and auto racing: the rest are merely games." -Hemingway
Well said, and I've always ignored the critics of nascar. My wife used to role her eyes when I watch it, but now she gets more into it than I do lol.
THANK YOU for this video, now i know what to link to the ignorant people. Also i tell those who are uneducated, to educate themselves about the complexities of what it is to drive in Nascar.
We all heard it before, they just sit and drive. They’re only turning left. But when someone finds out my son works for NASCAR, it’s so cool. So, obviously I am proud to say I am a fan. I’m a proud nascar dad.
From the days when I did GranTurismo 5 online I can tell. I've won so many more races on the Nordschleife than any of those races on Daytona.
And that's just a simcade...I don't want to know just how stressful real oval racing actually is.
"watch the 2012 walkens glen race" thats what i say.
When in middle/high school people would laugh if i told them I liked NASCAR. They all thought they were comedians by quoting Jeff Dunham. Now if I mention it, it's utter silence from most people. I could not pay my friends to go to a race. It's sad when it's something you love deeply and the sports they enjoy have as much depth and lore if not less.
I’ve dealt with both ignorant people and toxic F1 fans who said things like “NASCAR isn’t a sport” “NASCAR drivers aren’t athletes” “You’re delusional for watching NASCAR” “What’s so fun about watching cars drive in circles for 4-5 hours on end?” It’s annoying to me because I just don’t understand why we can’t all just appreciate each sport instead of slandering the others. NASCAR fans love to slander F1 just as much as F1 fans slander NASCAR. The same goes for stick and ball sports, there is a lot more to it than simply turning left, kicking or shooting a ball into a net, and swinging a bat and hitting it out of the park, so why can’t people just shut up and let us enjoy it. I have friends who tease me about it, but I know they don’t mean it because they watch NASCAR, F1, and stick and ball sports. We all love to playfully roast each other, because we know that we don’t actually mean it. But when it comes to actual people who are ignorant, I try to teach them. If they show me that they don’t want to learn about it, I leave them be because they aren’t worth my time and energy. Everyone that knows me knows I am a proud NASCAR fan, and they couldn’t care less. In fact, they ask me to teach them more about the sport. That is my personal experience with those people, and a bit of what I deal with on a daily basis in my personal life, and on the internet.
I was on iRacing doing Rookie Stock at Charlotte with a bunch of Europeans who had never done oval racing. They weren't shit talking it, but they definitely were learning. Rookie Stock at Charlotte isn't a long race, but they definitely came out of it with a new respect for ovals.
I’m still embarrassed to this day to tell people I’m into NASCAR. I’ll be 31 this year and have been into NASCAR since being 8 or 9 years old. I’ve never been able to find someone near me around my age who was into NASCAR. It’s been something that I just have had to enjoy by myself.
As a black dude who spent his childhood in a small Georgia town, i feel every part of this video. Its gotten to the point where if someone says NASCAR isnt a sport, i automatically end that conversation cause ik its gonna be like talking to a brickwall trying to explain it to them
NASCAR is a sport, and atheltic sport, people needs to do their research like you said, here are some perfect examples of NASCAR Drivers being Athletes...
Bobby Hamilton, won the 2001 Die Hard 500 at Talladega without a single Caution flag.
Jeff Gordon, won the 1999 Save Mart 350 while not feeling well, but still managed to win.
Ken Schreider, Ran the entire 1998 Daytona 500 with a fractured sternum and had to wear a flak jacket.
Dale Jr., Ran most of the 2002 NASCAR season while having a concussion.
and the list goes on.
There is also a mental aspect to the sport to also take into account. They have to essentially sit in high speed traffic for three to four hours. I'm tired mentally from driving or two hours at 55 mph, with the comfort these guys don't have.
ETA: As far as the ignorance to the sport. I don't really care. The only time I had a problem with it was when a former employer said it wasn't a sport. I have to remind myself, however, that I didn't really like him for reasons other than that.
I've been a NASCAR fan for over 35 years and I've been laughed at for being a fan but I've also changed people minds on how Nascar is a sport and how there is more to NASCAR than just turning left for hours on in, there is a ton of money in each car and for it to be wrecked out of a race costs a team alot of money to repair for next race, so people saying it's not a sport are just plain stupid, I'm proud I'm a fan and will always be a fan
i was never bothered with liking nascar until it not only started costing me friends but being bullied for it through my late teens and adulthood
I do a lot of sim racing and NASCAR is definitely one of the harder disciplines to learn. Like you have to drive the car on the edge of out of control, and that's not adding to the fact that you usually have someone in front of you behind you and beside you
Watch the 2001 Talladega spring race. To run a caution free race on a place known for The Big One that offers little margin for error at that track takes so much skill.
At this point I just laugh at these idiots. Like you said, the same people who say these things about NASCAR wouldn't last one hour on the track with these drivers. I will always have mad respect for the drivers brave enough risk their lives and get on the track cuz not everyone can. If you were to ask me if I wanted to be a racer, knowing there's a slim chance I might lose my life if I get caught up in a wreck, I'd answer yes cuz that's been a dream of mine for a long, long time.
I’ve been racing at my local track, Langley speedway in VA, for over 4 years now in their street car division.
I’ve dedicated my life to the sport, every year from May-Oct I race once a week.
I can assure you all- nascar, oval racing, stock car racing, any kind of vehicle racing takes A LOT of skill. A lot of practice. And a lot of understanding how to make a car SAFELY go fast. Anybody can get in a corvette and do 150- it takes talent to do that every week for years of your life and be able to live to tell it.I’ve seen a 14 time track champion smack the wall and lose their life right in front of my eyes.the sport is insane.no argument needed.
No way I also race at langley (champ karts)
McNabb was a competent player when he was with the Eagles, but for him to say that race car drivers are "not athletes" is just dumb and is an incredibly bad take.
I wonder how he'd feel if he knew that a lot of his classmates who never made it to the NFL are probably working on those race cars on Sunday, and if he never made it to the NFL, he might have gone there too.
Those guys can make or break a race team, and they're just as much athletes as the drivers themselves are- carrying the tires and gas cans, being quick with the jack and the air wrench, and having the speed and coordination to do all this in under 10 seconds? That's no easy feat.
I always criticized NASCAR, until I went to a race in charlotte. It was insane in person. The in person experience is much better than any other sport by far.
Anyone who says NASCAR, or really any type of motorsport, is boring needs to be taken to see a race in-person. TV just doesn't do justice to the feeling of 20+ ridiculously overpowered cars shaking one's soul to the core.
I've been waiting for a video like this. Justice for nascar
How I handle the ignorance, is say Alright, Cool and walk away.
I had plenty of people tell me, oh they're making left turns: yeah they are and shut the F up.
Hell even Drag Racing is a sport even though it lasts 4 seconds every run but you got to have nerves of steel and the reaction time.
I just play along with the left turn jokes. I got into vintage clothing and a lot people wear NASCAR jackets, but have no clue who was the driver; unless it was Gordon, Dale Earnhardt, or Dale Jr.
I race in the lowest of low, a 4cyl banger series at a local track. i have MUCH respect for nascar drivers even the ones who don't show there talent due to lack of moves or cars (burton, JJ yelly and others) i run near the back so i understand that doesn't matter where you are, you got to be somewhat on pace and that isn't that easy.
People who say NASCAR is just turning left are the same people who can't back into a parking spot, these people have no idea that driving is an actual skill and just take it for granted. Driving is a skill and some can drive that machine to it's absolute it's limits, that's what it's all about
I’ve been a NASCAR fan for close to 50 years and I’ve been proud to say it. The way NASCAR is going now I’m not to sure about telling anyone anymore. And that’s sad!!! And there isn’t many sports out there that someone could be seriously hurt of killed on any given week. One more thing Donovan McNabb was barely an athlete
people saying all they do is turn left is also an insult to other racing as well, like as if Formula 1 is only difficult because they turn right sometimes?
When they say those things that you stated in the video, I tell them to put your ass in a NASCAR stock car and "left turn" around a track for a few laps at 150 MPH. Then you'll change your mind real quick! I'm referencing the NASCAR Driving Experience, of course. After I did three 8-minute segments at Daytona it gave me a whole new perspective on the sport. YES IT IS A SPORT!
GOLF. Now there's a sport. And people pay good money to watch it. Give me a beer, a couch and three hours of NASCAR anytime!
I'm a fan of both
EP29 - Can you do a video on this. Texas proved the "new car" is still a complete joke. In it's first year, the back end "slid out" for no reason about 100 times. (Kurt Bush ending?) Texas, a few days ago, was an absolute clown show with the "next-gen." Because Kyle Bush was used to driving a truck (something that sticks,) he lost the back end in the first few minutes of practice. Great drivers slid into the wall all day long on Sunday. Anyone can see Xfinity racing is 100 x better. (Look at the .002 result with Sieg.) Nascar Cup, via the horrible car.......... is a joke.
Agree is annoying that people thinks Nascar (or other auto racing) is easy and not a sport. Let them drive this racecars and find it out.
Honestly it does bother me that people feel this way but I just mostly ignore them. It’s whatever & they’re missing a lot of fun so it’s their loss not ours.
Best video you've ever made ELITE. Complete W
Thank you bumblebee! Thanks for always supporting the channel.
I'm a nascar fan from across the world, and I would say that over here, liking nascar openly is kinda fine by most of the people.
There are some that also question me on why I like it, there are some videos I show and use to further explain to them why I like it a lot, and they seem open mind about it too, which is nice
Every sport can be given NASCARized jokes.
Football- 2 groups of men beating the shit out of each other for a ball
Baseball- [Umpire has ejected me for thinking]
Golf- 🛌
Bowling- Why is this a professional tv sport..?
Hockey- Aight this is cool. No jokes.
Im a proud Nascar fan. I am a fan of other sports, but as soon as the disrespect comes, i do not hesitate to dumb down their favorite sport. Quite fun actually. Especially when the person debating with me is a cowboys fan.
Love Nascar and never thought my wife would like Nascar either.....we watch it every weekend. She is a Kyle Busch fan and converted me to rooting for Kyle before Gibbs left him. Lets Go Blaney
If people say "you make me laugh" while saying your a NASCAR fan, then they got a lug nut loose in there brain
Hahahaha I'm like half way through the video and haven't heard a word you said because I'm just listening to the song. Ain't nobody ever gonna edit another video about Nascar to Amityville for the rest of history hahahahah you literally never miss bro 😂🤝
Lol I don't blame you. Amityville is in my top 5 of songs off that album
@@Eliteprecision29 I just bought the Eminem show and Encore CDs this spring for the memories. Good stuff dude 👌✌️
i've been a nascar fan since about 2004. was a longtime fan of dale jr until he retired and have been a fan of truex jr since his busch championships. i'm also a huge wrestling fan so i get all the stupid questions and comments from haters when they find out i watch both. "all they do is turn left", they've been racing on road courses for about 70 years. "wrestling is just grown men in underwear touching each other", so is mma by that logic. i've learned from online video games and being bullied growing up to brush off the haters. why get mad at them when i can just piss them off by not reacting
Do you remember when Shaq raced Dale Jr? He was practicing and got out of the car and had to lay down from exhaustion.
Now days all I get when I say I’m a NASCAR fan is “F1 is so much better” and “nascar is so boring”. First of all they have never actually watched a race in either series. Then after I say that, they play the “you only turn left” and then I say “well nascar actually races at the f1 track in Austin”. It’s usually silence after that but I can have the same conversation a week later like nothing changed lol.
All I can say to these people is, get into a car that is 125 to 150 degrees, going almost 200 mph, with another car 1 inch from you as you go into a corner. Also another car 1 inch off your back bumper waiting for you to jack up and send you flying into a concrete wall!! Go ahead, 90% of the people wouldn't have the nerves to do it without any other car on the track!! IGNORANCE for sure!
I do have a real question... do the other NASCAR fans consider local short track divisions a sport? I drive a 4 cylinder at a quarter mile track with 33 degree banks, but our races are 25 laps long, but I've done a 200 lapper and I could barely support my neck. Also consider I'm somewhat of an owner driver, building the car myself. What category do y'all think that fits under?
Elite clearly needs to rage, haha. But bruh, I felt this. Apparently NASCAR was the 2nd most popular sport in the country in the 1990s and 2000s, but I don't know where the hell all those folks were because I'm a lifer in ATLANTA of all places and outside of my family I only ever knew enough NASCAR fans to count on one hand at a time. Dealt with the same garbage of "only turning left" and "I drove to school, I'm an athlete now, right?" Everything in the book has been read to me. As I matured I got to the point where it didn't bother me, I just let them drivel and move on. Y'all the ones missing out, not me. Keep simping for the NFL and boring ass F1.
