I went to the Derby, Preakness, and Belmont last year and also attended the NASCAR races in Daytona (July), Richmond (September), and Delaware (September).

You'd be surprised.

Now in these NASCAR races, do you bet based upon the speed figure? Or pace? Or which team figures to rig the race?

That's extreme, but I lost all interest in NASCAR once I realized it was a car, and not a horse. But also that all these drivers, who look as though they represent themselves and their team, are owned by larger groups of owners who have multiple interests in the race. To me, that's just weird.

Don't waste your time, Slot. I've been trying for years and I haven't gotten anywhere.

Watching Nascar is some sort of cruel and unusual punishment. How anybody can enjoy it is mindboggling

actually, hockey is a lot of fun to watch, very exciting and fast paced. not at all like watching cars go around. and around. and around. two hours later, they're still going around. and around and zzzzzzzzz......

I guess I'm outta touch. No one that I know thinks that Toyota is good for NASCAR they are still arguing over Ford vs Chevy. Maybe it is like The Legend of Ricky Bobby.. they only eat food that is advertised on cars. So since the KY Derby is on the hood of a car they will all tune into watch the race.

I imagine it can't hurt

I've always said that it would be cool to bet exactas, triples, etc. in Nascar races.

Yes, I'll have a $2 triple wheel

they will sell anything and say nascar so people go out and but that stuff.
they believe it helps there driver and sport. just makes them more money.
cause it is just a few teams that win most of the races.

It is apparently popular in Pennsylvania also.
Some relatives brought down NASCAR trading
cards? yes indeed.

My family was bewildered. We have no darn cards.
They asked who are
favorite drivers were. Damn.

A bit awkward, I tried to think of some, but then
I heard that if one gives a driver that the family does
not like, its a Hatfield and McCoy thing. So they said
they hated Jeff Gordon and we all agreed.

Then we had to watch it. I remembered I had friends
to meet... be back in 500 laps.

Best part was the the Air Force Thunderbirds flying in formation at the end of the S.S. Banner.....I don't, for the life of me, understand this national obsession.

What's more exciting than 500 miles of left hand turns?
