i dont get how people get pleasure out of watching cars go in circles for hours. being from the east coast, we never really got into it and its more of a midwest thing. is anyone here nascar fans?

I like that the biggest race is at the begining of the season. Don't have to watch the rest of the year.

that might be entertainment, but i don't really agree that its a sport, like many people tend to think.
Me? I fucking hate it. My 16 year old cousin can drive a fucking car, and that's what worries me.
Anyway, only one thing can fix this game, and the answer is to start half of the cars facing one way, and half the other, the last car standing at the end wins.
haha now that would be something worth watching.
that must be fucking brutal.
neither.
I don't they're
athletes either. I drive too.

NASCAR, where the guy in 30th place on the last lap can win.....terrible....
But for those who have only seen it on TV, go to a LIVE race first, and see if you think any differently about racing. Its by far the worst TV sport, but a MUCH BETTER sport to watch live.
But yeah, I hate NASCAR.

Traditionally, it's much more of an east coast thing.
I used to watch a lot of NASCAR, but it just seems different now. They've made it too much like a circus and all the good, traditional drivers are gone.

Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
i should have been more specific and said that is not very popular in the tri-state area, rather than the whole east coast. i forgot about the southern states.
I'm not defending NASCAR, because I do not really watch it anymore, but there is a lot more action in the typical race than there is in a typical baseball or football game if you think about it. It's kind of inaccurate to describe it as a bunch of cars going in circles.
I could describe football by saying it's 3 seconds of action followed by 25 seconds of telling the players what they're supposed to do for the next 3 seconds of action.

not the Northeast
I allow if it interesting that the West coast enjoys more of individual outdoor sports than the East.
true????

yah, i thought it was just common knowledge. i was confused and i was wondering if there was another tri-state area that i didn't know about...
Yeah - there are several tri-state areas out there. Some people need to get out more.

i'm pretty sure its conn, but im not 100% sure.
Bunches of them. Basically anywhere 3 states come together.

what other states are considered the "tri-state area?" ive never heard of it anywhere else.
Everywhere that 3 states come together is referred to as a tri-state area by local media.
Ohio, KY, Indiana
Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina
Minnsota, North Dakota, South Dakota
Etc.
