I love road course races. I wish there were at least two more on the schedule. It's what separates the men from the boys. :D

agree

I dont like NASCAR on road courses. Its not exciting to watch.

Also, Joe Nemechek is putting Scott Speed in his car for this race.

I love NASCAR on road courses, purely because they are so unsuitable!

DanicaFan, if you cant watch the pushing and shoving of NASCAR boys on a road course and not find it exciting, it might explain a lot.


Nemechek is putting Speed in the car because Toyota and Red Bull are paying him to. Speed screwed up trying too hard to get that car up the grid when a nice safe fast 90% lap would have put him in the field. Instead, he got the red mist because Vickers was on pole in the same team car....

it seems that almost every driver in nascar that wins is someone that you dont like, is immature, is from another country and thinks he's all that(insert punkoya), or one who has won too much. there isnt a true driver but a select few to root for and they barely win.

i really am depressed with this race season and just want it to end. i dont even feel like checking up on the pickems right now or even my own contest.

great drive by Kahne he outraced the big boys who are suppose to be upfront and win.

off topic, but someone in Nascar needs to have Boris Said's racing license. hes become such a huge joke and wrecks everyone, he had to have been involved in about 15 incidents today.

I'm not a fan of Sonoma because its more than a demo derby than a race, maybe if they went back to the sports car course, the racing would be better. I'm a huge fan of road racing, but this is a bad track unless they use the correct version of the track.

Think what you want but watching NASCAR on a road course most of the time is like watching a parade with lots of turns.
