ViperPilot Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Nascar is the WWF and Jerry Springer of the racing world, 90% of the population north of Tennessee could care less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixt9coug Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 To be honest as well, I remember the days when I did give Nascar a fair chance and tried to get into the sport. This was probably 1997/98 or so and I watched it and reallly tried to get into the whole hoopla that was surrounding it. It just didnt work. It was boring and it just got worse in the 10 years since then. I assume its nice to see in person, but I would personally rather watch the Long Beach GP thats run on a road course out here than go to Fontana and see Nascar run.

mlhm5 Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) Nascar hasnt been a factor in years. Sports Illustrated does not agree with you, but who are they to argue with you? After all NASCAR attendance is greater than a year’s worth of professional football, basketball, and baseball combined. Anyway, if it is not a factor why not just get out rather than embarrass yourself by not even being a factor at the biggest race of the year?

Sixt9coug Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 LOL.... how does SI's assumption that it translates into sales work out for Chrysler? How's the Dodge... uhh.. err.... (insert what the sticker on the Dodge car says here) sell these days? How much of that can even be remotely attributed to the Nascar crowd? Nascar still sucks, its boring, and even if Ford was winning guess what? It would still suck. V8 Supercar is alot more entertaining to watch.

Sports Illustrated The only thing that is a factor is the advertising...and there was plenty of Ford advertising during the Daytona 500. We all know how much success Ford was having in the showroom when Roush Racing was fielding 5 of the Top 10 cars not too many years ago. Oh wait. They weren't having success in the showroom then either. Hmmm. Back to the drawing board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider that some of the best news about FMC we have seem in a long time. Who gives a shit about Nascar? You really think that people see a car that has stickers on it to make it look like a Fusion is really going to help sales? That's just retarded.

They should stick to swim suits. Meanwhile, the NASCAR decline continues. When gas gets to $4 a gallon, only the mullet-minds will care about NASCAR. NASCAR: the race to irrelevance.

Michael Reynolds Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Oh the horror. Who the hell cares what SI has to say, especially when it comes to cars (or NASCAR). The only reason you decided to regurgitate the article is because it had something negative in it regarding Ford. Chalk that up to yet another one of your useless threads.

chevys Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I am a long time nascar fan. I have watched it for around 25 years. What wins on Sunday does not sell on Monday anymore. Those days are long since past. The cars are nearly identical save for the engine package. They may as well call it IROC racing. The passion left me sometime ago. Nascar does have a huge following but they have slipped two years in a row. They are trying to get back to their roots but that is yet to be seen. GM basically got their ass handed to them at Daytona along with Ford. The best funded and best organized teams will be successful no matter what brand they are running. Why do you think the Gibbs cars looked so good right off the bat? The result would have been the same if they were running Fords. Toyota was smart to get in bed with such a good team and organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundassault Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Yea, NASCAR is so boring.....nothing like left turns all day. FUCK THE RIGHT TURN!!!! If they actually used "stock cars" then I would be interested in it. By the way, can I get some Fusion front fascia stickers at the dealership?

goinbroke2 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Wow, this proves even the stupidest thread will keep getting posts. mlm5 never ceases to scrape the bottom of the barrel in looking for something,ANYTHING bad about ford. hmm, I guess I'll hit the reply button this time.
