Answer 1

1) YES, definatly a sport....
2) Dale Earnhardt Jr, because of the way he is off and on track. Considerate, giving and not bad to look at either!
3) CHEVY..best cars ever made
4) Let toyota be in the cup and see what it has to offer against the best cars going today..why not.
5) Don't agree with it, but not up to us to decide...all NASCAR.

Answer 2

1.Yes it is a sport, the level of skills that all of the drivers have is amazing, I know that I couldn't just walk up and hop in a race car and drive it with the skill that they do week in and week out.

2. I now root for Carl Edwards since Rusty retired. He has the best attitude of any driver I've ever seen.

3. Ford, that's just what i prefer.

4. Why not? Most people don't seem to realize that Toyota is building "American made" cars. Just because they weren't built here before doesn't meant they should be excluded. Competition is what NASCAR is all about.

5. I must admit as much as I thought that I would hate the new point system I really do think that it has improved things in some ways. I do also feel that it may have forced some drivers to race or bring a car back out on the track when that shouldn't have happened. Points are now so much more important then they used to be that I feel that the system may cause them to take some chances that they might not have taken with the old system.

Answer 3

1. Nascar is a sport, because it requires thinking, training, and long hours of heat without using the restroom.
2. Kurt Busch. I like the way he is able to handle himself with the media. He is also a very skilled driver, being able to win a championship sure does show you that.
3. Ford, it has a more stylish look to it and has been in the top of the class of the cars for quite a while.
4. No, Toyota is not a Nascar, it is more like a street racing car that you see in Fast and Furious. Toyota doesn't really have a car that is family like(like the Ford Tauras, Ford Thunderbird, Chevy Monte Carlo, Chevy Impala, Dodge Charger, and Dodge Intrepid).
5. I think the points system is great, it make for a longer, harder season for everybody. The top ten all have a chance at winning a championship, instead of someone just running away with the lead and cruising to an early championship.

Answer 4

1. Yes, because it is very strenuous and stressful, constantly being on the offensive and defensive. Having to constantly fight a "loose" or "tight" car and trying to help your crew determine what changes if any. It's a physical and mental sport.

2. Jeff Gordon because he's very good w/5 championships, very rarely loses his cool and mostly drives clean.

3. Chevy because always been a Chevy fan even before watching Nascar. Chevy's have always been more dependable in my experiences.

4. Sure why not, Chevy has been the dominate maker so far, Since Pontiac went out a few years back, maybe Toyota can cause some static.

5. Yes, because it makes it more competitive. Each team has to be more consistent and constantly going for a win to make the Chase. Now you have to watch the last race of the year to see who wins instead of the winner cinching it 1-2 races before the season is over.

Answer 5

1. No, I do not consider it a sport. It's a way of life.
2. Rusty Wallace. Cool, Classy, Calm. Dale Earnhardt Jr. Enough Said.
3. Ford and Dodge. I grew up in a Ford Family and my favorite driver drove a dodge.
4. Yes. Bring it on. I think all manufactures should have an opportunity to get their feet wet in stock car racing.
5. Yes. It keeps everything interesting. I am a FAN of the Sport. If they gave away rolls of Wax Paper to the winning drivers, I would still watch it.

Answer 6

1. Yes. NASCAR should be a sport.

2. Elliott Sadler. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE M&M's.

3. Ford. Elliott Sadler drives in it.

4. Yes. They should get rid of Dodge and all those drivers should go to Toyota.

5. Yes. I like the new Chase for the Cup Championship point system.

Answer 7

1) Yes, because it is a motor SPORT!

2) Jimmie Johnson: he is a great driver, I like what he does with soap box cars for the kids, I love his car/Lowe's, he's cute, he has a good personality and much more!

-and- Kasey Kahne: he is becoming a great driver, he seems so down to earth and friendly compared to the other guys, I love his Dodge car, he's fine as can be and has beautiful eyes and much more!

3) Dodge (then Chevy, then Ford), just my personal preference in cars really.

4) Yes, why not?!?!

5) hmm...yes...I think they know a little more on what works and what doesn't than I do; although I do have my doubts sometimes!

Answer 8

1. yes it is a sport....It makes millions for race tracks, It has sponsors, And Fans.....defiantly a sport.....
2. I have always liked Mark Martin , but that's cause I'm old school.
3. I like Chevy's have a Monte Carlo..".simply the best''
4. I think its great that Toyota might be in it....It 's new competition..the grids have been to close for a while
5. Sure .....with the cars being so close and it being who has the most money to make the best cars any more and all the cars are so close....It makes it more interesting

Answer 9

1)Its not a sport its a way of life.
2)Dale Jr. When Sr. died i picked Jr. as my favorite driver.
3)Chevy, just look at the records Chevy dominates NASCAR.
4)NO, NASCAR states that they only use American automobiles. Not rice-burners.
5)No, i think the winner of a race does not recieve enough points. The winner gets 180 pts. 2nd place gets 175 pts. I think 1st place should get 185 pts. Plus i don't like how you have to make the chase. After 26 races you have to be in the top 10 or you dont make the chase.....thats a stupid rule if you ask me. I like the way Winston Cup racing did it.

Answer 10

1. Yes. If the car looses power steering, it's not gonna be all that easy to drive the car. Plus, the G-forces exerted upon the driver in a high-banked turn aren't pretty.
2. Jeff Gordon. He was new to the sport when I was, and was popular at the time.
3. They're all good to me, although Fords that aren't owned by Jack Roush tend to be slower.
4. Sure, why not? They're American-made cars (Camry's).
5. I like the new Chase for the Championship, as it adds some spice to the latter part of the racing year.
