Can you name some negative effects of average people watching NASCAR?

Question

I'll start you off...

#1. See that truck that just cut you off without signalling? He also has a #3, #8 and #24 sticker on his windshield and since he watches NASCAR every saturday, thinks he can drive like Dale Jarrett and cut people off without signalling...

#2. Budweiser Brains...you figure it out.

Who's got more?

Answer 1

Profound dizziness. Watching them go round and round in a circle (oh, sorry, OVAL) is just so interesting.

Here is a way to watch Nascar everyday with out spending much over $0.50:

Take your 50 cents, and go buy a bag of Skittles, then put them in the toilet and flush. TA-DA Nascar in your own home. Really though, I don't have a problem with it except that it is WAY overdone anymore. The glory days of Nascar were back in the 70s and 80s when the King, the Intimidator, and Cale Yarborough were still running the circuit. I realized I wasn't much of a Nascar guy when I decided that the only race worth watching was the one at Watkin's Glen, because they got to turn to the right as well as to the left.

Thank you SCCA, I have found my niche.

Answer 2

Nope, can't say I can. I'm a fan myself ... and not many races are on Saturday. A huge majority are on Sunday.

I've been cut off by plenty more people not sporting logos than sporting them ... never by a woman, only by a man each time, and I've been cut off a lot. Wonder if there is a connection?

Budweiser Brains? Hmmm... I'm getting my doctorate over here and you are complaining about the IQ of NASCAR fans. I would probably say that you really can't generalize about NASCAR. I'm female, smart as heck, drive well (a woman, too ... wow!), and don't drink beer. I eat shrimp at the track when I go, travel there in a MINI, and am an ardent fan of one of the supposed badboys. Did this ever factor into your namecalling calculations?

Have a pleasant day!

Answer 3

Immitating the drivers is probably the most dangerous effect.

I guess if a bunch of guys got together, drank too much, watched NASCAR and got a DUI or in a serious wreck... I bet that happens every Sunday...
