Huge NASCAR fan. Go to atleast 3 races a year. Never understood formula 1, 1 touch of 2 cars together or on the wall and your out of the race. To ***** for my taste. I like the fact that in NASCAR the team has the ability to make your car competitive again after a minor wreck. Yes, granted, they are faster by 30MPH average, not gonna try and cover that up. Im a NASCAR guy-Lets go Dale Jr #8!!!!!!!!!!!! (2004 Daytona 500 Champion!)....and if Jr doesnt win, anyone buy gheydon.

1 at Fontana and 1 at Watkins Glen. However, the 3+ mile long Pocono raceway while technicaly not a road course is in the shape of a triangle with rounded edges. Def. not even close to a circle or an oval. And wait a second, at last check, don’t they run at IMS (Indianapolis motor speedway) as well for the Brickyard 400? And at last check, so did F1?! That’s def. not a circle or an oval. Phoenix? Not a circle or an oval either.

Senna was the daddy. I'm not a fan of oval racing at all.
