Gilles Villenueve was THE BEST EVER!!! Even though he was from Canukistan. Senna gets 2nd place, in MY book.

For Daytona I'm rooting for Seattle (Go Karl!!!)

You guys ARE fully aware that NASCAR has road course races to arent you? Of course, with inteligent responses like "Gross" you must know that?
Sorry man, I'm actually fairly uninformed. I'm sure it's a great sport (minus the rednecks), I'd just rather watch a rally race if I'm watching TV at all, let alone racing.

Motor-racing is motor-racing. Cars, bikes, circle-track, off-road, trucks, Hydros, F1 boats, Snowmobiles...

Put two guys on kiddie-trikes and set them head-to-head and you @$$clowns'll watch it...

ADMIT IT and stop being snobs.

I know Andy'll at least halfway agree with me, right BFAM?!?!?

Agree. To say another type of racing sucks is un fair, ill admit I was wrong to say that F1 was *****. However, with that said, you cannot say oval racing sucks and expect that to include NASCAR as a whole. Only about 60% of the races are ovals anymore, and that percentage is slowly decreasing. Nothing brings people together like motorsports in general IMO. Its such a combination of Team, Car, and Driver. Its such a team sport. When people say racing sucks and that its not a sport, I just use that commercial, "Its not a sport, its a way of life". For whatever its worth, to whosever watching it, lets have a safe Daytona 500 today, and let’s go racing!

F1 for me. I hate Nascar too. My brother has taken to it in the past year or so and he is now addicted and gets offended when I make fun of it! LOL. I like golf but I don't get pissed off when someone makes fun of it!

Hey man, lets pick up a pack of natural light on the way to the raceway and watch some Fords race in circles! Yeee Haw!!!!

I'm just kidding. I just like to practice what I'm going to say when I see my bro later on today...

Hey CMT is having a tractor pull marathon later on tonight!

I grew up around racing, including NASCAR. I don't watch it much though. I'll probably watch some of the race today, but I would rather go to a road race. Cooler cars.

If NASCAR cars weren't built like ugly *** armored school buses (ie perfectly prepared for what all of the fans came to se - a big crash) and a few other changes, then it might be a more interesting form of racing.
