I want someone to actually do Stock Car racing. an actual new car, off the dealer's lot, throw a roll cage, a racing fuel tank, and some stickers saying who sponsored you on it, and you're good to go. no other modifications allowed.
I stopped watching "Crashcar" years ago. The race would start and only go a few laps until a crash. Then it was yellow lap after yellow lap while the mess got cleaned up and the cars bunched up. Eventually they would get the green for another lap or two until the next crash occurred....and over and over... This latest bullshit certainly hasn't done anything to encourage me to resume watching.
My dad and I use to go to the Daytona track for NASCAR back in the 60's. We quit going when big money teams/auto companies took over. He was a friend of Bill France, Smokey Yunick and Fireball Roberts. Dad and Fireball were the first people to go around the Daytona track when it was finished.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This. I've often wondered, after the noose hoax, when Bubba appeared CRYING on local and national news, why he wasn't crashed out of EVERY SUBSEQUENT RACE he entered. I wouldn't mind, but he's not that good. If The King of Nascar was still around, Bubba would be a brown streak on every race track in the country until he got the message.
I've wondered the same thing Nemo. However, NASCAR in their all knowing-politically correct world, would probably disqualify every driver but Bubba and the Asian and let them drive around the tracks by themselves. The management of today has the mentality of "may the drivers and fans be damned! We are NASCAR!".
Nemo, it's a shame Dale Earnhardt and his ilk aren't around anymore; they would have put Bubba into the wall on a regular basis for no other reason than to cost Richard Petty shit-tons of money for hiring Bubba in the first place.
As with all professional sports, I've lost interest because I don't care for them cowering to the politicians/lastest bullshit organization that comes along to extort money from corporations. Little did I think that wusscar would join in but they did, my question to them is how many of these soyboy fans actually attend their races? All I wanted them to do is entertain me and then if they want to do some political statement, stand up away from the track and their sponsors and spout all the bullshit they want, then again wusscar is controlled by the sponsors. Wish we could bring a class action lawsuit against all these sports leagues for offending me with their bullshit.
NASCAR's Magic Negro has stubbed his toe, again. At least they are suspending him for a race. Negroes do not have to dominate all sports, but you could not tell that by the various leagues/associations.
Went to a couple races in Texas "oh macklan, big party, where da whiskey" fun and watched quite often. When the france family started going woke they lost me. I hear the party atmosphere in Texas disappeared shortly after that.
Racing runs on sponsorship money and television revenue. Bubba, like Danica brings in lots of $$$$$, Secondly, race car drivers are piss poor fighters. That hasn't been one worth watching since Cale Yarborough versus Donnie Allison.
Uh, what is this "NASCAR" of which you speak? I know once upon a time here used to be men who raced stock cars, but I did not think there were any men left doing that, all had been banished to make room for lesser beings who wanted to pretend they were "racing."
I quit when they started "the Chase". It's no longer racing as it once was. Cookie cutter cars, all the same gas, all the same tires. Where is the innovation? I remember when magazines would publish the latest in NASCAR engines. When's the last time you saw that? We need more Smokey Yunicks and Junior Johnsons and Allisons.
I always enjoyed watching Cale Yarborough. These days I only watch endurance races (le mans, nurburgring, bathurst, sebring, daytona.) On the other hand, there's something to be said for an F1 1.3 second pit stop...
The AP story claimed Larson put Wallace into the wall, but I watched the clip repeatedly, and that never happened. Wallace went into the wall all by himself but then he needed someone to blame for his poor driving. While attempting to cover his non-driving ass he wrecks Larson intentionally and that involves 2 other cars and could have killed someone. ONE race suspension? The NASCAR version of no cash bail.
If you desire racing for entertainment, you’ll find it at your local racetrack. Trading paint, rubbing-n-racing and folks working out “differences” in the pits, albeit, not so politely. Also, most local tracks will allow you into their pits after the show to see, smell and ask questions. Local drivers take time to share and encourage folks to join the sport. NASCAR lost it’s allure when Dale passed and for some reason they became too “woke”.
Met and had a nice conversation with Junior Johnson not too long before he went to the big track in the sky. He was staying at the same hotel we were when I was working out of town.
I could care less about stock car racing, even less than zero now that nascar also went woke, and I'm a car guy who came up in the '60's around LS-6/LS-6's, 396/427's, Hemi's, Super Duty 421's like that growing up near S. Conduit in Brooklyn for those who know what went on there back then, but I hate the phfkin' world when I see someone who will not fight back. Against ANYBODY, let alone a maggot like Wallace. Time for a change in many many ways. Probably 90% of this feminized country never witnessed a 60's style Bath Av Brooklyn beatin' where for some reason most guys were born with fast hands and could and would use them. Guys who gave some and took some, like me. Even when you're outmatched there's always something laying around you can use to make sure they never forget the day. 52 odd years later shouldn't make any difference, but it does.

ReplyDeleteThis. There's literally nothing that corporate sponsorships and water-cooled checkbooks can't destroy.
DeleteThere is still lots of that in Road Racing.
DeleteThat miserable prick “apologized” to everyone except Kyle.

DeleteThat must have been awesome.
this is what happens in all of society when "equality" is brought in. you can't name one thing that "equality" has made better in America.

ReplyDeleteI quit watching NASCAR several years ago when I started referring to it as "three hours of advertising occasionally interrupted by a car race."
DeleteNigot probably felt disrespekked...
