ovals, circles, rings, slightly curvy rectangles, and triangles... Who gives a hoot... At the end of the day it's dull to watch.

You're holding the word "oval" in too high esteem here. My point is that the connotation of oval racing is left straight left straight and so on for interminably annoying miles. Go to www.nascar.com, look at their track list. They call Indy an oval. They call Phoenix an oval. They call all of the tracks with no right turns ovals. If NASCAR themselves call them ovals, who are you to act like they aren't. I'm not redefining any words, I'm pointing out what in means in the context we're using it in. There are three races for the entire 06 season that NASCAR doesn't qualify as ovals. Would you feel better about it if NASCAR reclassified Indy as a rounded rectangle? It's alsocalled circle track racing, but I don't see anyone out there with a huge compass to make sure that there isn't any deviation from a true circle.
Veheminently defending a subject using nothing more than contrived semantic arguements is all you're doing here, and all you've proven is that NASCAR salesmen (sorry, drivers.....) might have to make a harrowing three or four left turns instead of two.
Wow.

I want to respect those who like F1, and I never intended on getting in a discussion here where we threw the best insults we could find at each other. However, that being said, I am not about to sit back and let someone talk **** about a sport I feel strongly about. If I offended any F1 fans by my first post, alright fair, my bad.
Once again Silver, I appreciate your response. Thank you.

I wasn't trying to offend you when I said that I fell asleep watching - I just fell asleep watching. It had nothing to do with you or the legions of NASCAR fans. If I could squeeze a valium thru the cable, I would send one your way. Anyway, don't take the joking so serious.
For instance - What is the best cricket team in the world? A: Who cares?!?
Why do so many women play soccer? A: Because it's a girl's game!

Q2) Because American men are so crap at it... They'd much rather play the manly game of netball, and rounders!
Why do so many men play rugby? Because Americans are wusses, who insist on wearing sissy pads?
