circle track racing is not easy. which nascar is basically glorified circle track
i dont see how turning right sometimes would make it that much harder.
they're turning at 190-200mph with about 40 cars all around them.

Re: Dale Earnhart- Legend, or **** gobblin?
Nascar is the worst motorsport I can think of and it seems like every car around here has a 3 or an 8 on it somewhere!
There isn't even a track close at all, people like to watch it on tv and get drunk while talking about how ------- awesome it is!
I hate the south for stuff like this
Turning right and left would make it harder! some people!

I could imagine playing grand turismo on the high speed ring, with like 80 other cars, and I'd fall asleep before the race started. As it is, I make it about half way around the track to find out where the car dies top speed-wise, and then I'm ready to scratch my ***** again.

I'm not arguing that nascar doesn't require any skill, but compared to rally racing or other types of racing...do you think the skill level is the same?
Nascar, everyone travels about the same line on the track. I think it's more dependent on the team and crew that set the car up for the track and less dependent on the driver's skill. I know EVERY type of racing depends a lot on the vehicle's setup, but I think the setup makes a bigger difference in nascar. Rally racing definitely is more biased towards the driver and copilot.
Takes skill but meh...

both take skill and both are cool.
drag racing doesn't take any skill at all. says the guy with the 2.7 60 foot and 15 second pass

Re: Dale Earnhart- Legend, or **** gobblin?
The only time I watch Nascrap is when they run road courses. Its always the best "drivers" out front like Gordan and Stewart unlike the best car that particular day. Other than that Nascar blows. I love how when they try a course like Watkins Glenn its nothing but spins and crashes haha turning right pwns them!
