Oh come on. You have to give credit where credit is due.

NASCAR is boring to watch IMO but it is not a skill less sport. Going 190mph in a pack of 28+ cars inches from each others bumpers is no easy task.

I have driven a stock car at PIR at about 140-150mph and it was scary as hell I only did two laps and my arms were rubber

It is still boring to watch though

It probably is hard, but the others look far harder.

Asscar? That's the lamest of all. I mean, a circle? really? and you can't even hit 200mph?

Formula 1, now there's a sport. Circuit track and 220+ on some straits, without track bends to assist.








I still find it to be really entertaining Lamest of all, no way there are plenty of sports much lamer then nascar.

Formula 1 is one hell of a sport, its the best IMO
cant wait for Formula 1 to get going

1000 left turns boring, ok I see why some people might think that, but I still think its great entertainment I also agree that it isnt a skill less sport just maybe a less skilled sport then say F1, Indy, or WRC.

Driving a stock car sounds like a blast and something a normal person could actually do given the opportunity where as I dont think many people could handle a F1 car given the oportunity of course that is what makes F1 so much better to begin with

Ok, you got me. I do enjoy NASCAR from time to time

I just always feel bad when I watch it because the whole time I am hoping for a wreck to happen. It makes me feel dirty

The shootout this year was pretty sweet though

F1 racing is pretty amazing but to be honest I find it more boring to watch then NASCAR especially in person. Any road courses are no fun to go to because you only see one corner at most places. At least in NASCAR you can usually see most of the track

As far as skill level goes, F1 wins hands down
