Who among us does not like Nascar?

This is a thread about NASCAR.

Have you ever been to a race? What is it like? Are some tracks better than others? Do you have a favorite driver?

Also, how did we get from simple "stock-car racing" to the corporate acronym/honorific? Is there something a little or more than a little creepy about how the image of the enterprise is manufactured, and the related restrictions placed upon the personalities?

Most importantly, why?

(note that John Kerry never actually uttered the words in the thread title, but this didn't prevent media outlets of record from attributing it to him)

When I was a kid, my stepfather was really into it and I had a good time watching because I liked seeing souped up cars go fast. I think a lot of people like it for the same reason. I'm pretty sure the novelty would wear off quick at an actual race and I don't follow it much anymore. And I think Nascar became commercial in the same thing that almost everything does: corporations figured out how much money they could make out of it and pounced like cats on catnip.

I don't dislike NASCAR culture. But a) I've never been a car person, and b) to me, an event -- at least on TV -- just looks like little things going around in a circle forever, and since I'm not one of the guys controlling one of them with a joystick/controller, it just seems really boring.

It's very wasteful. All that rubber and all that gas, evaporated on every Sunday. Just to get the driver back to where he started three hundred times.

The thing that I don't like the most about NASCAR is that it's so microgoverned. Dale Junior getting points knocked off his standings just because he accidentally said "shit" on network television. What the fuck does that have to do with how well he performs in the "sport"? It'd be like Tim Duncan getting ten points taken off his last game because he criticized NBA officials afterward.

Say what you will about Bud Selig, but at least you don't have some family sitting on top of baseball, making and changing all the rules at a moment's whim.

my dad's a huge fan, his favorite sport after college football. i never cared for it as much - i went to a couple of races with him when i was younger but they were just so long. i like drag racing and horse racing more. token passing interest now, enough to hold a conversation somewhat even if it's just me asking 'now what's the problem with dale jr. this year?'.

Well, golf is certainly far more wasteful.. especially resorts in the desert. I love the game itself, but -- practically speaking -- it's the most resource wasting sport on the planet.. as far as upkeep and water is concerned. (although the terms "waste" and "resource" are very flexible, so any sport could be argued to be the worst, depending on how you stretch the terms.)

Anyway, this is why I prefer mini-golf.

I hate NASCAR, 'cuz it's boring and over-sponsored. The entire experience is ruined by constant corporate logos in your face. Enjoy Formula 1, love dirt-track racing (I even 'sponsored' a modified team last year... for $100. But hey, it got my name on the car!), like CART/IRL whenever they run road races, avoid NASCAR and most oval racing like the plague.

I went to the second Winston Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway, with two or three hour-long delays because of wrecks and terrible track conditions. Then when they were actually running, I feel asleep. It's super-loud, but the way the engines rev in unison around the track is soothing and it was 100+ degrees and after two beers I was out like a light.

Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:08 (nineteen years ago) link

they take a big dose of claritin before the race.

My thoughts/questions were always about the more obvious and icky bodily functions.

milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:08 (nineteen years ago) link

but actually that's something I've wondered about all sports. Surely there's been a time when the quarterback just suddenly has to go with 3:15 on the clock down by 7.

milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:09 (nineteen years ago) link

I've been to a race at the bequest of my dad, who loves it. It was exactly what you'd expect, a bunch of drunk rednex in their own nirvana. It's like an outdoor convention or something, there are vendors and booths for miles and miles. The sport, if you can call it that, is completely overun with merchandising and marketing. It was impossible to know what was going on in the race itsself however, as the track was huge so you only really saw the cars as they went past at 150mph and I couldn't keep straight which one was in the lead. The short dirt track sprint car races my dad took me to in my youth were infinately more exciting and entertaining.

The Sensational Sulk (sexyDancer), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:10 (nineteen years ago) link

yikes. that's what i was wondering. see, i'm terrified if i'm on the highway and i have a big sneeze. it completely robs you of your ability to steer and pay attention to what's happening ahead of you for a split second. now on a highway that split second shouldn't matter too much, but when you're driving upwards of 150 mph with a bunch of other cars in close proximity, passing each other all the time and whatnot, that split second could matter a lot.

xpost to milo - actually oversponsorship is the main reason modern sporting events turn me off, period. NASCAR is certainly not an anomaly there.

donut debonair (donut), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:15 (nineteen years ago) link

When I was a kid we used to go to the indie track. It was a great time! All the cars were pretty beat up and at the end of the night they would have crazy 8 races. I loved it and would go today if I lived near one of these tracks.

I have no interest in NASCAR though. Watching corporate logos go in a circle for a couple hours is not my idea on entertainment.

Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:18 (nineteen years ago) link

This one Saturday afternoon I was ridiculously high and bored and watched a NASCAR race which took place during a storm, whenever it started raining they would quit racing, wait until it stopped, go through the amazingly tedious task of drying off the track, start racing again (minus the number of laps already run), do so until the rain started again, wait, dry, repeat. It's one of the few things I've ever found so funny so high that was still funny to me again later, completely sober.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:20 (nineteen years ago) link

I used to cheer for the Lucky Strikes F1 team, which makes me a horrible hypocrite on the sponsorship thing. But my god they have the greatest logo ever.

I don't notice the sponsorship of basketball and baseball so much (though I hate selling the naming rights to city/state-financed stadiums), until the owners are dumb enough to plaster logos on uniforms. I'd probably be more turned off if I saw them live more often.

I don't think the gearhead factor is that big anymore - the 'cars' they race (Monte Carlos, Ford Tauruses or whatever the new equiv. is) aren't very cool. I'd say the chance of a wreck and the general bumpin-and-grindin is the major drive behind watching the sport.

milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:20 (nineteen years ago) link

The marketing is like woven into the sport itself though, from what I can tell from my dad. He's all into who the sponsors are and how much they make in advertising and merchandising. It's like part of how the fans pick their favorite drivers and determines which beer they drink and whatever, it's odd. Are English football fans all tied up into their sponsors that way too?

Dennis, Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:24 (nineteen years ago) link

but does anyone else agree that crashes are not exactly an anomaly in this sport, but perhaps its not-so-secret raison d'etre?

You could say the same about bullfighting and rodeo.. although the degree of visual "wow"-ness associated with a crash can be seen as disturbingly obfuscating of the tragedy thereof... although this is something people *outside* the sport get more excited about when they see it in the news while those into the sport actually get sad about, I'd gather.

And I stress "I'd gather". Again, I've never even sat through a car race on TV once in my life... so I'll defer to the NASCAR people here instead to explain this.

donut debonair (donut), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:25 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah amster, people who don't follow it always say 'people just watch for the crashes' because they can't imagine people might actually enjoy racing and if they can't imagine it it must not be so, but everyone i know who follows the sport tends to get pissed off about crashes - they're almost always preventable and the result of some recklessness on a driver's part and fatalities or injuries are usually preventable if nascar had had this reg or that reg in place. my dad refuses to watch indy car racing cuz of how dangerous it is, and i've had at least three people (including my dad) mention the (presumably) same clip of the front end of an indy car getting ripped off and taking the driver's legs with it when i've asked them 'why nascar over indy?'.

j blount (papa la bas), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:25 (nineteen years ago) link

But the behavior that leads to crashes - recklessness and danger, 'if you ain't rubbin' you ain't racing" or whatever, the most popular drivers (Earnhardt, Tony Stewart) often being the biggest hardasses - is ingrained in NASCAR culture to a much greater extent than open-wheel racing (precisely because open-wheel is more dangerous when you get in wrecks)

I can see hardcore fans disliking wrecks (even while unconsciously liking the danger), but the casual fans who make up most of the audience are looking for excitement, which is served by crashes, and something that's often missing from F1.

I do get a kick out of some of the old footage circa Lee Petty. Some drivers would be in convertibles.

Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 18:39 (nineteen years ago) link

o yeah, the bumping is a huge part of it - i can't play my dad in racing video games cuz he knows all this nascar shit and can make me spin out like that - and i'm never quite clear on what bumping is ok but this or that particular act crossed a line (i know that it happens in every race but you don't have the drivers have those big confrontations - which are my fave part - after every race). i did hear someone the other day talking about how it's 'win at all costs now' and how drivers can't be honorable or follow any code anymore.

I prefer open-wheel racing--NASCAR seems very slow and imprecise. Indy racing, for example, seems to call upon the skill of the driver more significantly (racing rockist, surely). Check Helio Castroneves' driving at Indy on Sunday, dodging past debris like a badass.

adam (adam), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 19:06 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't understand why there is any other auto-racing besides Formula 1. The only other thing I would like is real "stock" cars. Like say, cars costing $30-$40K driven off the lot and onto the track - that would be awesome.

When i was a kid i went to an amusement park with a big dirt track for go kart racing. It was shit loads of fun. Nascar has no reason to exist though.

-rainbow bum- (-rainbow bum-), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 19:36 (nineteen years ago) link

I enjoy NASCAR and have season tickets to New Hampshire - which is admittedly one of the worst tracks on the circuit. For pure racing entertainment short track sprints/midgets on dirt or clay are definitely the best. Especially for the neophyte who doesn't know an Earnhart from a Waltrip, since 4/5 of the entertainment from NASCAR is knowing the relationships, history and strategy.

That said the best race last weekend was F1, especially the last lap. From a purist's perspective F1 is probably the most interesting class, but to anyone who doesn't follow auto racing it has to be the most boring. It's all strategy and technology, barely any passing. Speed here in the USA has some great announcers, even if they are Coulthard haters.

zaxxon25 (zaxxon25), Tuesday, 31 May 2005 19:49 (nineteen years ago) link

re: SCCA ... yes that is racing for purely 'stock' cars though it's all timed through courses set up with cones in a parking lot. It's certainly subject to tinkering as well, for instance The Dodge Neon dominated its class for years because they offered a factory-installed racing suspension upgrade to get around the "purely stock" rules.

Surely there's been a time when the quarterback just suddenly has to go with 3:15 on the clock down by 7.

Does Depends have a NASCAR sponsorship program?

In the meantime, my brain balks at the idea of auto racing as a sport, because it doesn't seem to demand physical strength or endurance. However, I probably here am subscribing to a high-rockist concept of sports.
