    How often do you watch Nascar and do you enjoy it?

    I've tried several times to watch it but I just can't get into it and prefer F1 and Rally racing any day. I don't think racing in a circle for several hours is challenging besides the car being heavy as crap or whatever. I might try and watch it if was more complicated then that.

    I don't watch Nascar because I find it boring. The cars only turn left in a circular circuit don't interest me as much as F1 to be honest. Unlike Nascar, there are more interesting bits with F1. I do however enjoy playing Nascar racing games.

    Well with nascar games you can be a horrible person and cause massive pileups and whatnot. That is INFINTELY entertaining. Haha.

    I haven't watched a full race. I'm not really a fan. I think it is challenging even if it is all left turns. It still takes skill to make your passes and so on. And your trying to keep your car that has strick rules on what it can look like stuck to the track. You have to plan your pit stops, and plan your fuel for the charge to the finish.

    All racing is challenging in its own way.

    My father in law hated when people did that when he played it online.

    I'm not a fan of nascar though I have watched clips here and there. I just can't get into it and watch it all the way through. It's kinda long and drawn out but once they're on the last lap, it gets exciting.

    I watch NASCAR every chance I get. I actually got to race stock cars two weekends ago and I must say I have a whole new respect for nascar drivers now. Controlling the cars on those turns is unbelievably hard. If you guys ever have the chance to race stock cars I highly recommend it!
