Re: Nascars Great American Race 2010: Daytona 500
NASCAR is like boxing. Ask a NASCAR fan how was the race and they will say exciting it had a bunch of wrecks. Ask a hockey fan how was the game and they will say exciting it had a bunch of fights. I actually can watch some Nascar as like last night I cut over to it just as they started racing after the second pot hole so I saw the exciting part minus the other 5 hrs.

Re: Nascars Great American Race 2010: Daytona 500
Forgot to mention, and if anyone cares...Jr. is a huge Redskin fan. I was really hoping he would drive for Joe Gibbs when he departed DEI a couple of years ago, just not behind the wheel of a Toyota. Guess those Toyota drivers didn't care last night if their throttles got stuck!!

For the record NASCAR runs around 750 hp.
HowStuffWorks "What makes NASCAR engines different from street car engines?"

Re: Nascars Great American Race 2010: Daytona 500
Couple of folks were throwing around hp numbers. I was not sure myself but felt like they were in 800hp range so I looked it up.

Re: Nascars Great American Race 2010: Daytona 500
I'm a fairly casual NASCAR fan, went to Richmond a few years ago for a race. But it's fairly boring to watch a track like Daytona because it's so long. Normally I'll watch the starting 10-20 laps and the last 10-20 laps because anything and everything you need to know will be in those laps.
Nice to see McMurray win a race, nice to see Junior make a charge, and nice to see NASCAR using the three strikes method to end a race under green flag racing. However, I spent most of the afternoon flipping between watching Duval make his charge at Pebble Beach and the Winter Olympics because of the pothole issue(s).
