Sometimes I think I am the only person I know who does not hate NASCAR. Why is this sport so unpopular with everyone other than NASCAR fans? I know this is not a games discussion, but I hope I am allowed to add that one of the reasons the new NASCAR game has been ignored by the professional reviewers is because of snobishness. People think anyone who likes NASCAR is a redneck turniphead. I love NASCAR and my neck is neither red or purple. Anyone else care to comment, or are you too bored to even finish reading this?

There are only left turns, and I can't stand watching cars circle for several hours. I like Indie and Formula car racing though

It's just so boring it's like: "OMFG a left turn!!!", and "Oh boy he just executed that left turn with absolute percision look at that!!!" I don't even think the drivers can remember how to make a right turn after a race.

So I guess the overall concensus is that NASCAR sucks :lol: Sorry Earlaps, the masses have spoken.

It's boring. F1 racing (or any racing that doesn't only have left turns) is much better.

I don't hate Nascar but just like so many other people in this thread I think it's boring. It really amazes me to see the stands full with hundreds of people watching guys race around in circles.

My sister and brother in law are really into it, watch every race, go to several a year. To me I respect what they do, but I cannot watch cars go around in circles for hours, and I don't understand all the nuances of the cars either.

I hate nascar for a lot of reasons.

  1. Five hundred or so laps in a giant circle.
  2. It is uneventful except for the occasional crash.
  3. It's just plain boring.

It's like watching WWE or whatever they call it these days, just hours of boredom. I have even more reasons, but it's late and I'm too tired to list them all.

its not just NASCAR, its any sport where all you do is go around a circle over and over and over again. I dont like NASCAR, but I also dont like horse racing or the Indy 500, etc.

On the other hand, I love car races where the track zigzags and goes through all kinds of neat terrain.

Nascar racing is one long commercial, where a clutter of advertisements take left turns over and over.

I don't really see the appeal of watching cars drive in a circle a few hundred times, and it appears that I am not alone. :P

A lot of my family members like it, so I can bear about a half hour on a good day. The games weren't bad, until EA came along and ruined everything.

I think a better question judging by this thread's responses (which I agree with) would be Why do people not hate Nascar?

All you do is wait for someone to crash.

You can't convince me that watching a 20 car pile up at 150MPH isn't cool.

the funny thing is that A LOT of people go to NASCAR. I am talking hundreds of thousands of people per event! Where do they come from?!?! Cuz outside of my dad (who has never been to a race), I know of zero fans.

That part is cool. But you don't need to watch Nascar to see that. Just watch the highlights on Sports Center. :P

I bet that's how demolition derbies started. Somebody was watching NASCAR and watched a massive crash. Then they thought "Hey, I could make this infinitely more interesting by just getting rid of all the racing and replacing it all with continuous crashes!"
