5. Next to tennis in its range of sporting excitement. Yawn. Round and
round and round they go........'git 'er done' I say ! Only show the last lap and absolutely no crashes, which is why they go in the first place.

BTW, is indianablue really Jeff Foxworthy ? I knew it was you !

6. My dad use to love this... but just watching it gives me motion sickness..
and makes my brain bleed. I don't think it's the racing so much as the general make up of the audience.

I just don't get NASCAR. What's fun about watching cars go around in circles? It's about as exciting as golf; maybe bowling.

9. It's Athletic
Those cars take effort to drive that fast. It's hard work. It's hard! Hard work! Seriously it is. Also going as fast as they do they're incredible with not only their muscle endurance but the twitch factor. Great amount of control.

That said, it's not sport, and it's boring as all fuck to watch.

13. So's construction, trucking, logging, ditch digging, road building...
And, actually, some of those activities are interesting to watch now and then.

14. I like those logging competitions
I mean...I probably wouldn't watch it regularly but sometimes they're cool to watch.

10. That's funny.
Different strokes for different folks. If you don't like NASCAR don't watch.

11. Funny
I told this same joke to a couple of NASCAR fans that I work with. They also laughed at it.

12. Hyuk hyuk.
You reel funny.

Now, even though I'm from NC, I despise NASCAR, but why would you make fun of someone elses sport? Especially being from Indiana, where they just drive a different kind of car around a track.

You're real bright, chief.
