Is this Daytona 500 a joke or what?


They crash, stop, start, crash, stop, start, crash ....

I just saw the crash on sports highlights. I don't get car racing.

I'm not a fan of auto racing but occasionally a narrative emerges that makes it interesting. I try to give it a chance just so I'm not irrationally biased, and this is the top NASCAR event of the year. I just caught the end.
Almost looked like cars were crashing intentionally in order to give the guys up front an extra chance to make a last minute move. The end looked bogus to me. Glad Newman didn't die as a result.

More fun for the drivers than anyone. My grandson used to race stock cars at the local level - he and his dad were into it big time. My son has raced his Vette in Motorcross. I rode with him one time and it scared the crap out of me. They also raced go-carts and that was actually fun to watch - especially the guys with shifters.

I agree with you, I don't get spending hours watching the big races on TV or in person.

Sounds more interesting than the usual "I'm gonna drive, and I'm gonna go fast, and I'm gonna turn to the left sometimes!"
