its definitely not easy to sit in that car, but a lot of gas it is! if each car gets 5 MPG (http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=700065) then the daytona 500 with about 40 +/- cars = 20,000 miles / 4000 gallons of gas, jeez! And i wonder how much gas the nascar people's big trucks burn on the way to the race

Them rumrunners sure can turn left! I'm usually asleep by lap 50. Formula 1 and rally racing is the real sport. At least they can steer. well when they are on the ground.

Im not certian if it's the same in NASCAR but on the oval carts that we race the right side is longer than the left and they are a bitch to turn right.

Nascar has utterly failed to attract African American race car drivers.
It's because they realize that it's 1,000,000X cooler to slam dunk a basketball or run 30 yards for a TD than aimlessly driving around a track.

Why can't this be in OTD
Nascar hasn't attracted african american drivers because no on wants to sponsor a driver that drives slower than shit and the seats in the cars wont lay flat. Also even though you can put 22's on a crown vic they wont fit on a Nascar.

I agree that NASCAR is the least entertaining 'sport' out there. I also agree that it takes a bit of skill to be able to do what they do. Third, what does the gas and oil they use have to do with whether or not it's a sport?

Technically yes its a sport. Just a very lame one. Rally Races are better thats a given. And there are no blacks in Nascar because it appears owned, governed, and viewed by a majority of racists. Not everyone in the crowd or on the CEO boards are wearing their clan clothes to the Daytona Im sure, but I doubt ule have to look far to find an underlying sense of racism and bigotry.

NASCAR is alot more complicated sport than most of you think. Anyone who's been over 150 knows that.
I hit 180 the other day for maybe 30 seconds and it was pretty fucking intense. I can't imagine being at or above that speed for ~3 hours in traffic.

I cant see how going around and around 500 times a sport..and all the gas they use.. 
I have to disagree, it takes endurance, fast reflexes and a great
deal of strength to make those laps, I'll admit it's not rally
racing or formula 1 but have you ever gone 200mph and tried to
keep a car on the road? try running a dirt track or grand
national race just once
and no, I dont like nascar
i agree with what you have said, but still it does not compare to a real sport liike long distance running or wrestling or boxing.

So what is everyone saying about the gas? I fail to see the point.
Does anyone feel the sport should be banned based on gas consumption?

yay monaco grand prix tomorrow. i'm an f1 fan...specifically for kimi räikkönen (Ferrari) and heikki kovalainen (mclaren).
fuck NASCAR. fair enough you need to have some "talent" to go round and round a track really fast. but to be honest, the technology being used in f1 cars, the tracks and the strategies are much more intelligent and fun to watch than NASCAR imo. of course, both are gas wasting sports...but now the F1's going "green."
