I only sometimes watch the road courses, but kids and I drive ovals (racing seats, wheels, shifters, peddles) on racing sim. It is actually very difficult, I would be happy with a F1 or NASCAR seat, but I would prefer rally or knee down motorcycle. Still my fav is Trials ridding, kayak, bike and ski…

I had some FWD dirt oval seat time in my SAAB 99 when I was 16, that was fun!

Those that can, do.

Those that can't, move to Nascar to top up the pension.

Sort of like SVB and Signature banks?
Vs UK and Canadian banking systems?

Or, regular Bacon vs Peameal

They'll do well just as long as they don't turn right.

May they do to NASCAR what Jack Brabham and Jim Clark did to the Indy 500 in the sixties; totally change the sport. NASCAR's only role in life is to generate advertising dollars IMHO. Local dirt short track racing is more fun to watch than pseudo "stock" cars going round and round fast.

+1. Maybe they'll give the rednecks something to think about.

Funny, Button’s comment after Kimi tapped him.

The only good thing about NastyCar is the road courses. Almost, just almost, gets close to as good as Aus V8 SuperCars. Night and day.

Like Moto-GP / SBK vs F1
