Nascar appeals to me for a few reasons....

1) I drive a car and I like to go fast, but in my family station wagon hitting 180 mph just isnt feasible. These guys are around that speed or higher on most days...... What a thrill that would be.

2) For rolling Advertisments they look pretty cool! The cars look great in real life. Very colorful and shiny. (who dosen't like colorful and shiny?)

3) Unpredictability......... last week was a classic example. (It would take too long to explain what happend last week.)

4) Parity.... sp?.... The guy that quaifies first for a race on a 1 and a half mile track is about .5 to .7 seconds faster then the guy that qualifies 38th.

5) Although most of nascars tracks are circular to some degree, they differ alot in banking and distance so a 2.66 mile track with 36 degree banking (Talladega) is wayyyyyyy different than a 1/2 mile track with 8 degree banking (Martinsville).

Thats just a few reasons why it is appealing to me.

GO #6 MARK MARTIN!!!!!
