Wise Drivel

All the intelligent people follow Formula 1.

ok pudgey...nascar is awesome!! espcially tony stewart cuz hes hot and hes on the mcdonalds commercial!! they get paid millions fer just driving in a circle. so really pudge...no one cares that u think nascar is stupid. reality check...its not!

I found this comment because I am trying to research how much fuel this "sport" wastes while our country becomes more dependent upon Middle East oil producing nations and our air becomes more polluted. (Yes, they use high octane leaded gasoline for NASCAR.)

I see the people in their cars and pickup trucks with their NASCAR stickers, and I wonder WHY??? They are usually wearing some type of NASCAR apparel as well: a hat, a shirt, a jacket...maybe all three!

I wonder: What do you gain from identifying so closely with NASCAR that it appears to be your whole life?

Often, the NASCAR stickers are right next to "Support Our Troops" stickers, which makes me wonder how people can believe any war action in the Middle East is NOT about oil. We would have no reason to even be in the Middle East if it wasn't for oil, and because of our actions over the years, trying to manipulate their governments to our advantage for years and years, the people HATE us! And that is why we have terrorism now, which certain U.S. leaders use to justify further manipulation, by any means, including war.

It is tragic that these NASCAR "worshippers" sit back and live in denial, pay their "gods" (the drivers) millions of dollars, and then send their children off to war, with pride!!!

Wow...you are VERY prejudiced! With all the education you have, you should know better than to be intolerant of people you don't identify with, let alone insult them!

As a junior at Oberlin College and a NASCAR fan, I would just like you to know that you're one of the pompous intellectuals that make the rest of us look like jerks. Thanks for nothing.

You're welcome!

Inflammatory generalizations are my forte.

Nascar fans are without question the stupidest people on earth. They are loud, obnoxious, they smell, and they're ignorant of the nuance of anything but their own bowel movements and what lap Dale Jr. is on. So dumb.

dont know if any one reads this or not but the first comment about nascar was exactly correct i see the nascar tards daily and work with them to do worship those idles who drive in circles and when asked they all say i like the wrecks thats great buddy you like to see people almost get killed so what are you gonna do after work go set some kitten on fire nascar fars really are low on the brain chart but hey what do i know im only 2 points above retarded

I agree, Nascar is a mindless sport. I lived in Charlotte for a year with these knucle dragging trogladites and felt like I stepped back 50 years in time. So glad to move to the West Coast and get away from these people.

I drive a Porsche and NASCAR makes me vomit. It seems that most fans are obese, ignorant and have a vocabulary of less than 100 words. They constantly speak loudly with a drawl about themselves and other wothless topics.

I love NASCAR, its fast, it's fun to watch, and, no, all of the fans arent obese rednecks. Me and my dad love NASCAR, and he's a group executive at a company.

yo. im below 12 and i like nascar. does that make me a redneck??? i dont drink beer i dontsay "aint" and you must be a football fan huh?? NASCAR is a TECHNICAL SPORT and a PHISICAL. and football is cool and all but theres no thinking involved exept when they are being carried out on a stretcher asking for a beer

Well thank the lords, someone who hates Nascar!!!

I hate watching stupid cars just drive in circles..at what..? 100 mph.. wow.. >>

I mean I am a fan of racing but not of watching stupid cars dive around a circular track. I am a fan of Drag Racing.

But I am thankful that you do hate Nascar and Nascar fans too ^^

I think it is funy that Nascar is considered a sport. I dont care how hot their car gets, that does not mke them athletes. Jesus makes us worship NASCAR. If you don't watch,the terrorists win

what do you mean I love wating people make 2000 left hand turns...its great, and intellectual....alot of thinkin is involved, and the people who support it are very intelligent..the only good thing to come out of NASCAR is the smart dudes who cut two circles in a piece of cardboard for chick to put thier tits in...then again they probably saw that at a football game......

Stressful day or not..."podge", there is still such a word as being "respectful." I, for a FACT, am not stupid. Excuse me for having a preferred sport. And yes, NASCAR is a sport.
Want to know why?
Because I said so.
Me, well..I'm a die hard Jeff Gordon fan. I love to argue with those who are STILL stuck on the "rainbow warrior" days. Take a look at his car. I don't see rainbows....do you? And even if there were rainbows, I'd still be supporting him.
Oh, and by the way, "me" (wow, what a name you've got!), looks like you've just come in contact with a non Dale Jr. fan....Which makes me wonder...
Do you get out alot?
I personally think NASCAR "haters" should...how should I say this....
GET OVER YOURSELF.
Oh, and Mary, if you have such a problem with the oil issues of the Middle East, how about going over there and taking action for yourself?
NASCAR definately ISN'T stopping you.

Yes, I am from the South. Proud to be from the South, proud to be a NASCAR fan, and most of all, proud that I have something better to do with my time than sitting around making fun of a sport I obviously know nothing about.

This really amuses me. The way NASCAR fans are portrayed. Looks like we're just a bunch of lazy, good-for-nothing, drunk out of our minds, uneducated, "poo" white folks.

Guess what?

I'm not, and neither are alot of NASCAR fans.
Sure we have the rednecks, but we also have the most fun. And whats wrong with being a redneck anyway?

I guess we (yes, WE...me included), the rednecks, actually enjoy wasting our Fridays, Saturday's and Sunday's watching NASCAR. I'm NOT sorry that it bothers you. Matter of fact, I'm happy it does.

I guess people like you need to complain about people like us to make yourselves feel a little more inferior.

Hey, next time you go out for a round of golf, how about taking me so we can discuss this further.

I'd love to.

Sorry; I don't play golf either. But at least it's a sport. Just barely.

By the way, Genna, you don't indicate the plural with an apostrophe.

Bye.

Podge,
You made my day.
I'll be sure to come back and correct my grammar mistakes...
when I'm not too busy preparing for my Daytona 500 party.

Tata.

Nascar is for losers.

Totally agree. NASCAR is stupid. What is the point of driving around the circle. Horses can be ridden in circles. Why don't they just race horses.
Yeah, NASHORSE makes more sense.

In today’s world, many people are intent on finding an answer to the global warming crisis. Since the invention of coal energy, trains, cars, and other smog emitting sources, green house gasses have been thickening our atmosphere, which holds in more infrared rays from the sun. As a result, the ice caps, along with other glaciers and ice formations, have been steadily shrinking at an astounding rate. CO2 emissions are over twice as high as they were 30 years ago, and are continuing to rise faster and faster. This is a decent incentive to stop creating and using these smog-emitting vehicles and power sources that have been damaging our planet. So far, to help change this situation, people have begun driving Hybrid vehicles do help decrease smog levels. Other inventions have helped as well, such as wind and solar power, but all have seemingly gone in vain. There is only one answer. An answer that few people think about because it is so integrated into society. A surprising answer that will leave millions of people upset and confused. The answer to the global warming problem is banning NASCAR forever.
At any given NASCAR event, there are upwards of 30 to 40 cars going around in circles for hours at high speeds. Each of these vehicles uses hundreds of gallons of fuel per race, emitting multiple tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Despite this horrendous problem, hundreds of thousands of people come to watch all of these cars turn left for 500 laps around a big oval. Many of us speculate as to how it is possible for so many people to become so excited about something so strange and silly, yet they still travel far and wide to reach their smoggy destinations. NASCAR has been labeled a “red-neck” form of entertainment where only uneducated people go to get drunk, and have a good time. Little do they know, they are slowly bringing about the end of the world as we know it.
The biggest question about NASCAR is the strange need to turn left around the giant oval track. No one knows why turning left is so attractive to the drivers. Many have speculated as to the reasons for the unknown affinity for turning left, but no theory has been proven true. Maybe, for some drivers, they had a bad experience with turning right as a child such as running into a wall after rounding a corner to the right, or maybe being hit by a car that was making a right turn. Perhaps the drivers are the select few who are born with two left feet and can only alter their direction by turning left. Hundreds of theories circulate around the world through the internet, stories, various forums, and blogs of all kinds. No one really knows how or why someone could watch and enjoy NASCAR.
So why have so few people inquired about why a person would enjoy NASCAR? The answer is simple. Those who attend NASCAR events live in massive trailer parks located beneath the surface of the earth. They will only emerge from their strange subterranean world to watch their beloved racers go around and around in circles for twelve hours. While top-side, they gather various alcoholic beverages and nicotine based products with which they proceed to become inebriated and become a danger to those around them. It is advised that the average surface dwelling person refrains form going near a NASCAR event or even watching it because of the possibility of an intense lose of brain cells form the gas fumes.
When these people emerge, they must travel to see the NASCAR events which may sometimes be very far away from their under ground dwelling. Not only do the racecars needlessly emit smog, but the many travelers who drive to watch a frivolous event contribute their carbon dioxide to the mix. The transportation of the fuel used by racecars also requires gas to get to the tracks. Trucks that transport this fuel from one place to another also requite fuel. Using fuel to move fuel, who thought that up? Then there is the transportation of the vehicles themselves, which requites even more trucks traveling even farther and more frequently. Finally, there are the other recourses required to run the cars. During a race, any given car must change all four tires several times. These cars require so many recourses for such a useless form of entertainment, and are a great toll on the environment.
Global warming, along with the Iraq oil war, are both major disasters in the modern world. Global warming is heavily contributed to by the less-than-two-miles-per-gallon-racecars, which use 6,000 gallons of fuel in one weekend. The war for oil is caused by America’s insatiable hunger for oil and oil-based products. The more we need foreign oil, the longer this war is likely to last. NASCAR is needlessly sucking up gas in an event where racers get paid millions to drive in an oval and help destroy the atmosphere. Supporters may say that the amount of fuel used by NASCAR isn’t significant, but it still adds to America’s need for fuel. The more fuel we need, the longer and more intense is the war for oil. Thusly it is easy to say that NASCAR will bring about the absolute and inevitable end of the world.
None of this is to say that a NASCAR hater is any better than a NASCAR lover, but it is saying that people need to get their heads out of the ground and face the catastrophes happening in the world. More efficient fuels must be used now. Most of the hatred caused in the world is because of fossil fuel. Hydrogen, ethanol, even compressed air can run cars just as well as the fuel used today, but no one makes it clear to our government that we need to initiate the switch immediately. If there is no change in the next few years, the earth is likely to over heat and the ice caps will melt, leaving millions, maybe billions of square miles of land underwater. Ridding the world of NASCAR or at least switching the cars to hydrogen would be the first step toward saving the planet we live on.

Nascar is fine ... for kids. When (or if) you grow up, you eventually move to adult races.

Well Hello podge (Pudgey)
Whatever you Dumbass what happened daddy take away your toys?? nascar fans are not inbred, slack-jawed mouth-breathers

Me and my sisters likes them cars going fast round and round. We like to drink and get friskee after. Yup, uhu uhu.

NASCAR (neeeskerr)is THE lowest form of motor racing in existance. F1, A1, Formula Ford, Australian V8's, Go-karts - anything but nascar strives for aero, fuel efficiency, light weight (within class restrictions) design etc. Nascar are pushrod engined bricks (yes I know Aussie V8's are pushrod, but theyre miles [kilometres] ahead in tech and aero) going around in a circle. My work van will do track ( a place where there is left, AND right corners) ten times better. Yeeeehaww. Only in America.

I think Nascar has peaked. Most Americans now see it as a sport most coveted by people that are intellectually challenged. Talledaga proved that this year like nothing else.

Personally I find it interesting that Earnhardt Senior, while alive, was the most vilified driver in Nascar and then when he died he became a saint. One only needs to talk to a Nascar fan for about three minutes before realizing that there is a light bulb burned out.

But, on the other hand, stupid people need a sport too.

my dreams is to get pregnent from tony steward. i got me a dreams. do you gots one?

To the second comment: People getting paid millions because people will watch them drive around in a circle just because they're hot. That's stupid. And you're a tool.

Of all the stupid sports of the world-I'm not mentioning any names-ultimate frisbee-Nascar is the most absolute retarded sport on Earth. Wee, look at the cars go round, I'm so entertained because I love daydreaming of going in circles all day. I honestly hope to see Jeff Gordon asking me if I want fries with that. Even if it is retarded, I do have to admit it is a huge economy. I do believe that Nascar is EXTREMELY RETARDED!!!! Just ask anyone outside of Georgia.

I have to agree that NASCAR is extremely retarded. I mean what is the point of sinking thousands of dollars in a car to try to squeeze every ounce of power out of it then race it in a circle? I can only watch like 5 minutes of a NASCAR race and pretty much know it will end with people still driving around in a circle 500 times. I personally see no skill in this sport. Formula 1, Rally Racing, and even destruction derby seem to have more skill.

NASCAR is without a doubt very economically productive; but probably only because of the fan base.

I can guaranteed if you were to look into a NASCAR crowd you wont be able to pick out a single black, asian, etc. person. Because NASCAR is a caucasian/white "sport". And unless someone were to try and prove me wrong, go look at a crowd and then come back.

Also, because society and people are SOOOO EASY to manipulate, what's stands out more to a white person than a stock car? It's simple principles of society. What's better than an annual income of $3 billion in licensed products? Obviously corporate investors are gonna keep NASCAR alive. But what makes it any different than basketball? Basketball is loved by practically every black person, whens the last time you saw a vegetarian black guy playing waterpolo? If you would like to prove me wrong go look for one then come back...But thats America for you, high class taking advantage of the middle/working class with a tuned-up car to go in an oval a few hundred times, sounds pretty fun and relaxing after getting off that shitty dead-end job.

Call me prejudice/racist/bla bla bla, but its REALITY. black people like chicken, America's economy is going to shit because of the Bush Administration, and white people, especially red-necks, love NASCAR.

Danny, that was a great argument you put there (by the way, you forgot a ")")...nice. So you say that Ray Newman got his masters, great. Thats one guy out of well over 40, thats not that high compared to F1 drivers. Also, the other 40 odd people are NOT educated, so the majority wins! Also, did you know we aren't talking about basketball, so we don't care when basketball players quit schooling. Also, if there are 32 players on each team, there are 32 winners and 32 losers, nice math buddy. An 800 hp engine is about 1/10 (if that) of a REAL racing car. in NASCAR it's about the power of the engine, and the suspension. In F1 it's about:

Aerodynamics, The Engine, Traction, Tire Pressure, The type of fuel, The Tires, The Suspension, The Driver(s) (cause we have to turn RIGHT), the design, the engineering, the price, the research

Also, because it's sooo easy to catch and trow a ball, why don't you play in the Major Leagues dumb ass. Your point about NASCAR being more technical amuses me. Did you know there are about 5 F1 engineers for every 1 NASCAR engineer? Also, didn't you say it would be easy to make an 800hp engine. ISN'T THAT ALL NASCAR IS??? I rest my case, but next time you turn on your 'puter please don't be an idiot.

u r an idiot dude my dad drives a 1994 Vintage stock car,(nascar)for dumbies who dont know nascar,i thought the same thing about nascars then he gave me a ride in it.it was the funnest thing ever.but some peple dont like to go fast thats y when we (Nascar peple have to fallow u on the freeway we say hurry up and drive faster u old lady.any way some people just dont get how much more thear is to it than just driving in a circle.and be side they dont drive in a circle at every race,thats y they have road coarses.but some people just dont like to go fast but i do.My shifter carts that i race goes 0 to 120 in 4.5 seconds.so shut up non nascar fans the guys that race in nascar r way tuffer than a all of the basketball,football,baseball etc....i am sure they cant sit and race in a car for six straight hours and get out and be just fine.it is a lot harder than u THINK IT IS PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. That entire comment only supports my assertion that NASCAR fans are slack-jawed, inbred, mouth-breathing morons. Was that supposed to be English? Learn to write a single intelligent sentence, and I may be willing to listen to your point of view. Until then, you have no credibility here.

Who cares if its just a bunch of people driving around in circles! its just a sport that provides someone to "get away from it all." i think that one of the cool things is that they get paid for driving. sure, it can boring, and yeah it wastes gas, but its just like drag racing. who cares if you can go 300 mph in a straight line faster. it doesnt matter. these are pasttimes and careers for people. at least nascar is real...unlike wrestling. dont take me wrong, i love hulk hogan, but they get paid to pretend to hit the other wrestler.
for all the people that are saying, "nascars a waste of gas," what are you doing to help the environment. have you sold your car and ride a bike everywhere? do you use all organic stuff, recycle, and all that weird shit? if not, then you are hurting the environment just as much as nascar. (and btw, global warming isnt real...lol)
what is wrong with just having a sport that drives around in circles? and not all the nascar fans are inbred, or always drunk, chew, or smoke, or whatever.

its not stupid. im from the south. american by birth, southern by the grace of god. im very proud of being from the south and nothing that anyone says about anything that is big in the south is going take that away.
