>>>>This is just another example of what's wrong with NASCAR. These guys all have a road-rage problem and have a tendency to bump into each other all the dang time. I actually tried to watch a NASCAR race the other day - they were on a road course. It was a freakn joke - I don't think they were able to make around the track more than just a couple of laps before there was a crash. NASCAR doesn't seem to mind this behavior as I guess the fans want to see crashes. This is why I prefer Formula 1 or vintage car races - they don't put up with this childish actions.

>>True. But watching NASCAR is more like watching a demolition derby that it is watching a race. Too me the best races are the ones that are green flag from start to finish. I can't recall the last time I saw that in a NASCAR race.

I've heard people say that before - but hey if you can only win by bumping into other cars then you're not good enough driver to win a 'real' race... or at least that's the way I look at it.
