    As boring as you can get at 200 mph! I can't stand it!

    I agree with chuck on this one here guys.

    While I am not a fan of many of the connotations that tend to run hand in hand with it, those guys do actually race and constantly pass one another, unlike the cruise fest that was the Bahrain F1 GP last weekend.

    It is amazing to me that Nascar is labeled as boring. I am a huge F1, WRC, Australian V8 Supercar, ALMS, Rolex Grand Am, and DTM fan.
    When I watch Nascar there is always something going on. There are often 5 to 7 yellow flags for sometimes big wrecks. There are usually 8 to 15 lead changes as well. Those lead changes are often from good old fashion passing on the race track. There is a good amount of strategy that plays comes into play, tires, fuel, and yellow/green flag stops.
    How does 200mph and everything I mentioned above get boring? Is it the oval tracks? What about when they race on road courses? Is is still boring? I was trying to notice why I get very excited to watch Aussie V8 Supercars, but not Nascar on a road course. They are so similar.

    I think one major turn off for me with Nascar are the cars themselves. Chevy Impala, Ford Fusion, and the Toyota Camry??????? Are you kidding me? I drove a Fusion rental car recently and it was like driving a gummi bear on roads made of marshmallows! The cars have nothing to do with the stickers they put on the outside. The only real connection is that the manufacturers supply the motor technology? I am not even sure if that it correct.

    I watched the opening round of the Indy car series the other day and that was a snooze fest! Especially since the race was rain delayed for hours. The track was horrible and there was very little passing. The cars also look, in my eyes, to be very similar to how they were years ago.

    Those are some of my thoughts on the topic.
