I've been a fan of NASCAR since I was 4 years old. But I kinda fell outta it for a few years. My dad is into Formula 1 racing. And today I am gonna watch Jeff Gordon in the Richmond Virgina race at 5:00!

W00T!

Any type of racing you guys are into?

I'm a big NASCAR fan as well as dirt track. I grew up pretty much only knowing racing. Best sport out there IMO.

Gowing up my dad raced; stock, hobby, mods. We had a stock truck on my dads team, and we had three front wheel drive cars. Oh not to mention I raced a lil 50 cc when I was a lil girl and my bro raced go karts lol. Yup racing is in the blood.
I miss summers of spending all day in the shop and then the weekends at the tracks.
OOO I was such a bitch to stupid people at the tracks tho lol. Like people not watching their kids, people that don't sit their asses down in front of you, people who sit there and stink...ewwww take a shower before going to the races if you are that bad...ewwwwww

I've followed NASCAR off and on for the last 15 years or so... big Jeff Gordon (and Hendrick Motorsports in general) fan.

Frankly, without offending someone, I think NASCAR is kinda pointless.. In F1 you get the thrilling speed, close racing and the sheer skill of even making it around the track, and in Rallying you get cars hammering along with mindless speed in the middle of a forest, on a narrow dirt road, with trees going past inches from the car.

I'm not trying to criticize it. I guess it's just not a sport for me..

Been a NASCAR fan for as long as I can remember. I've been to three races and got rained out at another. Kasey Kahne is my current favorite but I'll root for most of the old guys too.

I love NASCAR, but if Carl Edwards and Mark Martin are out of the running I don't care as much...

I lots interest after Earnhardt died. That sucked and never should have happened.

I used to watch the midgets. They were on every thursday night as I recall.

Not much of a fan of F1 or Indy. Those cars are too delicate. The least bit of a bump and the car is no good. I prefer the banging and passing of Nascar over those.

Agreed. And pit stops can't be all that challenging when you can lift the entire car all at once.

yup that was it.

Also there were two types of racing them. Same as in the old days of Nascar when you had dirt and paved tracks.

the camera view from overhead was amazing on the paved tracks. Those things darted in and out like bees which only from above could you get the true sense of.

Those guys have some stones.

I watch the Formula 1. NASCAR is boring and just seems to be one of those sports that only Americans show much interest it, Formula 1 is global.
