NASCAR? NASCAR? NASCAR sucks. Don't Let It Take Over.

On Wind Tunnel with Dave Despain, Robin Miller opined on the likelihood of Danica Patrick driving NASCAR next year.  Getting to his point, which is that the France family knows show business, he said the move of Juan Pablo Montoya to NASCAR "took care of all their diversity problems just like that."

WTF?  He's Colombian.  Is it the brown skin?

Loved the Jeff Gordon interview.  He went on for two minutes about how no one drives the Cup series without paying their dues in Busch or the trucks.  Did he run his mouth about Juan Pablo?  No, he didn't.  Just about Danica.  Can't have any girls in there.  They might win.  Then what would he say?  In fairness, his comments on Fox Sports were different, and much more open.  Though I didn't realize Juan Pablo represented the "Latin people."

And while we're at it, why NASCAR?  Those cars are the technological trailing edge.  So is the fan base.  F1 drivers leaving for stock cars?  IRL drivers leaving for stock cars? 

Dogs and Cats living together.  If Danica drives NASCAR, I'm giving up on racing.  I swear I'll start watching golf.

It is very different being a famous in Europe than USA. I don't blame anyone for following the money.

It'll be pretty tough for Danica to flash her tits with her helmet tied into the HANS unit.

She will go straight over to Winston Cup (F*** Nextel!) and find out that there's a lot more bumping and grinding there, and of the kind she's not really accustomed to.

Before going to NASCAR, perhaps she should try to win a race or two in IRL or Busch.

JD-
I thought about deleting your inherently offensive and sexist comment, but decided to let it stand as an example of the opposition Danica Patrick faces.

I find it telling that you thought "fuck" would be inappropriate for the forum but saw no problem with "flash her tits."

Among the civilized, the latter is far more offensive. I recognize that nothing in NASCAR is "among the civilized." Now, perhaps, you know better.

NASCAR HAS BECOME A CORPORATE COMMERCIAL POLITICAL BULLSHIT MONEY MACHINE, JUST LIKE;
THE NBA,NHL,NFL,PGA,AND MLB.

NASCAR NOW HAS MADISON AVENUE TYPES, AND HOLLYWOOD TYPES; INSTEAD OF "GOOD OL BOY TYPES" THAT INVENTED " REAL STOCK CAR RACING".

NASCAR "CREATES" DUELS, AND RULES TO SUIT THEMSELVES, NOW IT IS ALL CORPORATE POLITICS AND MONEY, BY AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF BOTH NASCAR AND BIG BUSINESS CORPORATE AMERICA...

WHAT A SHAME, REAL SOUTHERN STOCK CAR RACING WAS THE LAST OF THE TRUE AND REAL CONTESTS, BEFORE NASCAR TOOK OVER!!!

Seirously guys your all a bunch of inbred redneck fools.NASCAR sucks seirously what are they doing out there going no where fast wow how exciting.Their not atheletic all they do is push down on a pedal run a lap for christs sake.People in the special olympics could probablly win in a foot race.

Danika can drive in any form of racing cause it's not that hard.Me being disabled can probablly join and win it all.They won't let me do it though cause I graduated from high school.NASCAR sucks a whole bunch.It's not a sport the drivers of cars are not atheletes they just push down on a pedal and go really fast in a big oval wow it's good to see retarded people do something but enough is enough.You can't tell me that it's enteraining cause their not going anywhere they pass the same places 500 times or so it doesn't get anymore boring.In closing if Dale Earnhardt wasn't driving so fast he would still be alive and if Junior doesn't stop he's nexr but at least him and his father can burn in hell together and get a horrible movie made about thier deaths that can get played on CMT.NASCAR sucks a whole hell of a lot.End it now save the world.

NASCAR bites. How is mashing the throttle through a continuous gradual left turn a race? Give me MotoGP any day.
