Thats why I love Speed Channel. Plenty of WRC, Isle Of Man TT, 24 hours of LeMans. Basically Im all about actual road racing. Left, right, up down, 140 degree turns

Drag : IHRA pro mods http://www.promodifieds.com/ nostalgic cars going over 200 mph in the quarter...I like all other drag racing too.
None of that cookie cutter all cars have to be the same stuff.
And on top of that if a certain driver (8) isnt high enough in points more spots (2more) are not created to get them closer to the final run or whatever Nascar calls it. And this happens right before the final "qualifying" race?
But every person for themselves as long as you enjoy it.

IndyCar, Sprint Cars, Midgets, F1, are all racing series I prefer.

When and where I grew up, Fendered cars/trucks were used to get to the races or haul the race cars. If you raced a fendered car, well it was just cause you were not ready for a real race car yet.

...Fast Forward to today...

Now it seems NASCAR is the place to race, even though the cars all have fenders. All the guys that used to race real race cars are trying 'em out, so I guess there must be something to it.

But seriously...... NASCAR is OK, I just prefer open wheelers.

My fave is Drag Racing. Been to several NHRA events. My ex used to race a 57 Ranchero. Current hubby and I got married at the tree on the Friday of the Seattle NHRA event back in 1998. Minutes later the first set of cars raced down the track.



Hubby also watches NASCAR all the time.

Nascar - Been a Petty fan for over a decade. Both the King and Kyle. Yes, I know Kyle didn't get his daddy's racing gene, but he is a great guy on and off the track with the charities he does.

Also have been a huge Junior fan since being able to meet him at a Busch race in the early 90's before he graduated to the (then) Winston Cup.
