Great being there in person! Earplugs, Bojangles, canned beer and watching the lady a couple rows up who tailgated too hard before the race pass out and drop like a sack of potatoes. LOL

you forgot the ones that tailgated just enough to flash lol

How about the fat boy driver that’s quitting nascar because of the confederate flag issue? He’d have a better argument if he had actually won a race.

It’s the best sport to watch for an afternoon nap. Watch the start, drift off for an hour or two and check back in for the finish. It’s perfect white noise. It’s too hard to follow in person, it’s neat to see the actual speed but the novelty wears off quickly.
If it wasn't for the 30 car staged pileup at the end of just about every race it would be REALLY boring.

What about the one and only black guy in all of NASCAR who had to cry about it.

RodMan..never was a big Racefan but I always wondered about what you just posted..you think there might be one or two planned pile ups?

NASCARS beginning was PURE racing. Over the years it has become more of a circus / wrestling style side show where the puppet masters control who the good guys are and who the bad guy are----- and lets throw in a good looking woman for a few years for good measure. It's all about the TV ratings. Some golden child gets too far behind----lets throw out a yellow "debris on track" flag and let him catch up.

but bubba Wallace wasn't the only one that had issues with it. dale and dale jr both didn't care for the confederate flag. it seems most of the drivers are in support of this. except for whatever that guys name is that never won a race and quit.

I had no idea the Confederate flag was associated with NASCAR.

I haven't watched a race in 40 years.
Like watching paint dry.
I was offered a free ticket when UPS became a sponsor and I gave it to a photographer friend of mine at UPS.
He said he practiced panning shots for 2 hours.

The story I read was that Dale had a colored house maid who didn't like the sticker on his car that had a Confederate flag on it so out of respect to her he removed it. Not because he hated it -- because he didn't want to lose this maid because his wife liked her. Who knows about Jr. ----Jr. who? :-)

a driver quit with 0 wins LOL
Ya know it’s weird how media angles stuff. Danica Patrick retires from NASCAR never winning and ppl write all sorts of articles how career lifetime racers sometimes never win but that doesn’t mean they aren’t good drivers....
This guy never won anything in his part time truck series career until his odd flex about the confederate flag. And believe it or not, a lot of folks prob admire him for it.

Never underestimate the number of "billies" in this country.
