I hope they ban all fans,this sport has done nothing but go downhill for the last ten years.No,I dont condone throwing anything at anybody,but I am sick of hearing about what nascar is going to do next.Pretty soon it will be electric cars with no drivers going around a slotted track like toys!

Granted i'm no longer a nascar fan, How is pressing the pedal,holding the wheel, and holding on for dear life more skillfull?

Yeah, they just turn left, but at least they move and have to change gears here and there. I'm willing to bet a gorrilla can be trained to run a drag car, doubt one could be trained to go round and round for that length of time.

Power is always awesome, but does it last for more than 5 seconds.

NASCAR also has a few road courses (Watkins Glenn and Infineon Raceways), so they also have to turn right.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Carrol Shelby started out as a drag racer, but soon got bored with it.
The rest is history.

Drag racing isn't as easy as it looks.
You have 7000 hp to control in a strait line.
Something goes wrong, and you may be in a world of trouble.
