I love it because its so freakin loud it takes my mind off of everything else. You gotta go in person to understand. Of course living in Indianapolis not far from the track you just kind of fall into being a fan.

LOL @ Dan.

I went to the Talladega speedway once when I was in high school; our band was playing for some race....it was about 500 degrees on that pavement, and all that LOUD noise and the fumes from the fuel made us all incredibly sick....

I've never had any desire to go back.

Hey Rod,
   It ain't just NASCAR either for the guy watching. It's any form of motorsports. If you like the big red necky sort, mud bogs and tractor pulls are absolutely the BEST. I used to do some mud racing, and it was a lot of fun, the hot guys were the icing on the cake. Drag Races (the CAR kind!) can be fun, but tend to attract the younger pimply faced crowd. Not my bag. Maybe it goes back to my high school days of driving my brothers '71 Road Runner 440 Six-Pack, and later on a Caddy Eldorado with a 500 in it and nitrous. Street racing is sooo illegal, and sooo much fun....

Carl, I'm from farm country so what do you think? Yes, I use to pull at the tractor pull an Allis Chalmers 190xt. Bog racing is fun to watch but damn if I would want to clean them up afterwards.

I submit that you are not gay.  Not at all.  Not one bit.  Not really.

You live with a woman; y'all behave like a couple.

So screw up your nose, dive into the stinky, and start swinging from the other side of the plate.

Otherwise, say you're sorry, promise to watch Hugh Jackman in 'Oklahoma' ten times, and maybe Team CornholeTM will let you stay.

I don't get the football thing either.  Okay, occasionally I stop to get a glimpse of a jock strap if they are wearing the see through tights.  I mean there is the cacophony, they start, they stop, they start, they stop, you know someone is going to win and someone is going to lose.  And then they pay three people(I'm guessing a good bit) to discuss just how much so and so was off this game and will so and so be able to perform like he did last time, why can't the team get it together. 

And then, in the sauna at the gym, it's just the main topic.  It's as if these people live for football.  You think any of these football players spend this much time talking about strangers.  Okay, I do know that Jason Sehorn(not sure about spelling of his last name here, illiteracy police)does good things for people, like making housing affordable for people and he's quite good looking, as his his wife Angie Harmon.  And how often do you hear anyone talk about what he's done? 

And I remember my father telling me that soaps aren't real, implying that I shouldn't be watching.  Meanwhile, football was the topic of dinner conversation.  You think he ever asked how G.I Joe was doing or the neighbor's barbie down the street?  Okay, I had hot wheels, too.  And the G.I. Joe was mine.  I even had the plastic one that came with a shark, in addition to the one with the life like beard that talked when you pulled his string.
