As a NASCAR fan, bashers sometimes really get me p*ssed off. Some of the comments are really silly, it's the nasty comments and attacks on NASCAR fans that make me angry sometimes. I usually ignore it but it's hard to ignore personal attacks because I choose to like Nextel Cup..Am I the only FAN that's getting a little tired of the really nasty comments?

By the way, Aaron, this is a question about NASCAR fans. I don't lie about people who bash NASCAR. It just goes too far sometimes. I don't mind the annoying comments, I hate the nasty comments and personal attacks that some fans get when they ask a question about NASCAR. I know that most of the nasties do it just to get attention..

k..let me get on my box for a second.
yes, i'm getting very annoyed with a lot of things, including fellow nascar fans.
the haters/basher will always be there. oh well, their loss. they are missing out on a great thing. i am amused that they find it in their time to deal with something they claim to hate so much.. personally, i have better things to do with my time than focus on something i do not enjoy. to me, it's easier to let it slide off my back then to get annoyed with it. they have no impact on my life and i can watch my tv or sit at a track w/o their approval so i can happily go aklong my merrily nascar way. however, you have to look at what some fans are putting out there to the public. i say some, b/c i know there are still some TRUE fans out there.
first, let's get something straight: nascar is about racing. it's not about sex. so can we please of the love of all things holy in racing stop throwing underwear at driver's like jr or kasey kahne. yeah, we got it..some people think they are easy on the eyes. pretty does not pay the bills unless you are dancing on tables. driver are drivers. they are there for the talent and the sport. let's stop demeaning them like a freakin' piece of grade a meat. now, as i said, yes, there are some that are easy on the eyes. i lvoe tony, i think he's gorgeous, but if he could drive a car i wouldn't hae one piece of #20 gear.. if fans put it out there like it's all about something so shallow people will take that and use it.
second things are getting just ugly inside the sport. personally, i'm getting really extremely tired of everyne being ridiculous about the rivalries. i mean, yes, there are rivaliries and you can bag on other driver's a bit..but in the past years it has gotten to the extreme. it's gone from my driver can outdriver you driver.. to your driver is a lying cheating, homesexual, whinng scumbag..and it's just not nescessary.
people just can't admit when they are outraced, and it's irritating. i mean when someone besides their driver wins it becomes a matter of cheating an blah blah blah.. how about you just admit that you got outraced on that one. every driver would rather win against the best and have it be considered as a good win b/c they truly outraced.. and every driver would rather lose to a good driver than one who just got lucky.
it's getting really disgusting that people are like wishing harm, actual bodily harm on other driver's..Now that's just plain sick and wrong.
seriously, my two favorite driver's are probably on the top of the hate list..so i've gotten used to it over the years..but i still think it's gone way overboard and really makes me want to be escorted out of the tracks in handcuffs. i mean some people just need their stupidy stuffed right down their throats sideways..
now we take all that and put it out there for the non nascar people to view and what do you think thy are going to take from it?? it's all about representing things better.
k i will jump off my box now..thanks.

Just remember that NASCAR is now the number three of the so called big three in sports. 1. Football 2. Baseball 3. NASCAR it beats basketball and hockey rather easily in the t.v. ratings. Some people find it hard to accept that this is occurring. NASCAR is still up and coming and will only get bigger in the years to come. Just tell people who have negative things to say to look at the ratings, because people are watching in many millions.

I hear ya sista! People who bash on NASCAR are usually just ignorant of the sport. I would like to see some of those people get into a car and drive at 200 mph inches from the car beside them without crashing and killing somebody. And those people who say NASCAR drivers aren't athletes need to climb into their cars in the heat of summer in their winter gear and a helmet, drive around in a circle for three and half hours all the while having the heat on full blast with the windows rolled up. Then tell me they aren't athletes.

I love NASCAR Racing! I go to the races often. I do not think it is nice for people to make fun of NASCAR fans. You do not hear people laughing at the jocks who like football, or the new yorkers who like the yankees. By the way I enjoy all three of those sports, it was a figure of speach!

I would like anyone other than Johnson to win. But nothing bad ever happens to him in the chase. Luck has much to do with it, not just talent. But it is so boring knowing he is going to win. Nascar needs to do something to get more competition or they will keep losing fans. They blame the economy for the smaller crowds but it is much more than that. The economy isn't bothering other sports as much as it is nascar. Plus the tv ratings are way down. People still have tvs and ratings for other sports have not dropped as much as nascar. So the people running nascar need to wake up.

Not really a big fan but I agree with the premise. If you hate the sport so much IGNORE IT don't sit and complain. If you sit and complain then you show you have some knowledge of it which means that you likely really care about it so STOP WHINING. I don't sit around saying how much I hate soccer or such. I just ignore it and if someone brings up I'd just say hey I don't want to discuss it I don't like it.

the one that really gets me is "is NASCAR a true sport" DUH anyone with half a brain knows it's a sport how could anything so hotly contested,spend so many millions of dollars to be the best,generate so many millions of dollars for owners & NASCAR, make so many participants millionares, and have millions & millions of fans around the globe and watching at home be anything other than a sport
