24 Comments on Who’s Most Clueless About NASCAR?

Before you judge things, attend a NASCAR race. The feeling of all the other fans there and how each one handles it, is really great. Take your seat and look at all the other fans….100k +. It is impressive! Listen to the crowd over the sound of the cars. Let all of your senses explore. Just a walk past the food vendors, is something! It’s all there. Learn how racing works. There’s more than just a car and a driver. Look in the parking lot when the race is over, see any jumper cables? These are “GearHeads”. Thousands of them, all there to enjoy every facet the entire day has to offer. Get yourself a favorite driver, spend lot’s of $$$ at his T shirt trailer. You will want a scanner, it really brings the race to life!
Watching racing on TV? I have a Sony 46″ screen, with all of the banners from the network and advertising, I’m probably down to 21″ of actual racing view. Hook up a surround sound system and crank it. Just get ready to hit the mute for any commercials! NASCAR is BIG $$$$ racing, but is still racing. Ever think about whats going through your mind, as you pass another car on the road? It comes down to torque. This should start an interest in roundy/roundy.

Bradley Bumbgarden is the most clueless. He thinks NASCAR is for sissies. He thinks that it is one big style show. Who is the cutest, who has the best looking outfit, who has the best looking paint job, who can name the most sponsors in front of the camera and say the most politically correct things. He thinks that Real Men have left the NASCAR game. He says guys brought their own cars and worked on them too, wore seed caps and smoked cigars while they raced. He thinks Real racers would race another person for a nickel or satisfaction of having the other person know he had been bested. He thinks Real NASCAR drivers did it to prove they were the best, not to be TV Stars and live like celebrities. Bradley Bumbgarden just doesn’t get NASCAR.

Actually, I was the one who didn’t “get” Nascar and now I am one of the most dedicated Dale Jr. fans that there is. My family was real big in Nascar and I just didn’t see the point in watching cars make left hand turns for hours. The only thing that was exciting about Nascar was the wrecks. My uncle had me take the time and watch a couple of races and pay attention to what was going on behind the scenes and not just on the track. After I learned about the “behind the scenes” I have been hooked and can talk about Nascar .

I have tried to educate the people who have the “Ricky Bobby” attitude. I usually point out that what they watch, ie baseball, hockey, football,etc are GAMES!! If they want to watch a real sport, watch racing. I had a few friends who just laughed everytime I said I was going to watch a race. So i offered to take them to the local Speedway for a night at the races. Well, they had a great time, They were hootin and hollerin by the start of the second race. they ate, had a few beers, and several of them walked out with t-shirts, caps amd checkered flags. They have not beeen 100% commited, but they don’t bust my nuts anymore…

My dad – I started watching NASCAR when Jeff Gordon started in 1993. I was watching it and my dad came in the living room and said the exact same thing.
He said to me- how can you sit there and watch cars just go around and around
in circle and I said – how can you watch guys carrying the ball down the field?

Clueless well some of the young fellas are as they have no clue how to be grown-ups and act it. Gentlemen start your engines Hmmm I use the word gentlemen loosely as where are they?This year so far has been something else can!t wait for the chase.

My son Scott cannot believe how hard the drivers and teams work just to finish a race. He believes he could do just as well and says it is boreing going in circles. All one has to do is look straight ahead at the Long Pond track when the cars go by to understand the speeds at which the drivers go as all that can be seen are bands of color fron the cars. I would like to see them show that view every now and then one TV to better give an idea of the skill needed to race.

The most clueless person regarding NASCAR is the person who thinks a Nationwide race is not a NASCAR race. Several years ago, when Nationwide was the Busch series, my sister phoned me, invited me to come eat with them. I told her I was planning to watch the race, to which she replied that I could watch it there. I arrived at her home and her husband had the remote in his hand, switching back and forth from one baseball game to another. I said I thought we were going to watch the race. She told me her husband said there was no race that day. I said there most certainly was a race on and that she said we would watch it. Then her husband, one of the world’s stupidest, spoke up and said there was not a race on, that the race was the next day. I told my sister that the Busch race WAS on that day, to which she said, “It’s not a NASCAR race, Jim, it’s a Busch race.” I said to my sister, “Busch IS NASCAR and I am going home and watch it.” She said I would miss a good dinner to which I replied “So be it; I had planned to watch the race, you said I could watch it here, now you say there is not a NASCAR race on, so I am going home!” And I did, and I enjoyed the race.

Last year on Memorial Day weekend, my stepson invited me to spend the entire weekend with his family to join them on a trip to upstate New York.. When we turned on the TV and I said, I needed to watch NASCAR, he was reluctant and said he wasn’t sure we were able to receive it in this out of area zone.
My 7 year old grandson said, “Dad your job is to work on cars everday!” Dad said the same thing everyone who knows of NASCAR, I work on them all day long andI don’t need to waste my time watching them go around and round for 3 to 4 hours.
Being I was the guest and my grandson loves playing with his play cars… WE WON !!!! and guess who sat there with us but Dad and now if not available with his time, will DVR the races and enjoy watching at a later time.
My grandson taught his father all about NASCAR, the drivers by name and car number, crew chiefs, race tracks etc;, Something we can all enjoy together !

NASCAR HAS BROUGHT THIS FAMILY TOGETHER, AND HAVE A COMMON INTEREST…….

My idea of who would be considered clueless is without a doubt “The Trophy Bimbos”. They dress up in the most God awful outfits with the spike heels and the thick sole shoes, stumbling around the garage paddocks then prance up to the tower suites to hubbub yata,yata,yata. There are at least 2 or 3 all alone trying for the hookup. They wouldn’t know a lug nut from a gas can. To watch them trying to balance on there feet with a beer in one hand and a mirror and lip gloss in another is agonizing as the try to climb the social ladder to be noticed. I guess that is my idea of the most clueless other than Paris Hilton(gag) and the rest of the Worlds dumbest, clueless, self absorbed, arrogant, delusional waste of flesh that breaths air. I say this Sardonically, get it.

All my friends that are avid football fans that think throwing a football down a field to get it between two poles makes sense. They also think that all Nascar is about is a pack of cars going in circles turning left. They just don’t get it, and I know they never will. I’ve given up trying to explain it to them.

I think that Brian France is the most clueless person in the world. If he was just half the man/person that his father and grandfather was, he would be a pretty knowledgeable person. The way he attempts to run thing is simply assinine. I don’t think he could pour _ _ _ _ out of a boot with the directions written on the bottom. It is a doggone shame people don’t wise up and really start complaining.
Since when does everything we do, or the drivers, crew chiefs, and the crews and owners have to be NASCAR correct or in simpler terms, be politically correct. What a shambles this racing is getting to be. I personally would not blame people if they stopped watching it. I would rather go to the local dirt track and watch a good late model race than some of the races NASCAR has been putting on. I am not the only one who feels this way if you read some of the comments people have been writing in lately.

The most clueless person in Nascar is Brian France. He does not have a clue how to run Nascar. He’s the one who is ruining Nascar. He don’t have near the knowledge his Dad or Granddad had. Everything is always his way or the highway. He dosen’t listen to the drovers or the fans and if you want good racing you have to listen to both. He thinks he’s got the answers to everything and HE SURE DON’T. He needs to stop being so self-righteous and start listening. Pull your head out Brian and admit that the fans and the drivers might know a little more than he does.

Juan Montoya is the most clueless on Nascar & next to him Kyle Busch…they act spoiled & throw their fits if they don’t win..its a big boys sport boys..you go into it knowing there are 42 0ther drivers & you are going close to 200 mi. an hr…this is the sport you choose now suck it up & drive,,”CLEAN” & I agree with Joyce on Brian France..no concept on how to really run Nascar…Nascar is a great sport.

My friend Suzanne is the most clueless person I know when it comes to NASCAR. She works for a local radio station near Talladega, Al .A station that is known as a “NASCAR station”. She always has media credentials during race weekend, yet she DREADS the weekend, because she has to “USE” her credentials, and go to the NASCAR driver’s garage, when she’d rather be anywhere else in the world instead of in the Garage with all those NASCAR drivers. I for one would be in hog heaven if I had HER credentials!
She isn’t a NASCAR fan, but is given many tickets before race weekend, and gives listeners a chance to win a pair of tickets for the race. The station even has a promo on the air that says “She may not be a NASCAR fan, but have you seen her tickets? Whoa!”
She also is in charge of putting together a yearly fundraiser to help needy families in the area. It is a NASCAR and baked goods auction. She contacts NASCAR team PR to ask for donations to help make the fundraiser a success.
She does all of this work that involves NASCAR, and yet she is still totally CLUELESS when it comes to NASCAR.
I have tried to educate her. So far, I have been unsuccessful, but I keep on trying to bring her around. She just doesn’t “get” NASCAR!
If my story isn’t the definition of “Clueless”, then I don’t know what is!

My nextdoor neigbhor Harry, he doesn’t know any of the drivers and when I talk to him about Jimmie Johnson he thinks I’m talking to him about the former Dallas Cowboys Football coach. I when I talk to him about my Tony (SMOKE) he thinks I’m talking about Tony Romo, I love Harry but he is CLUELESS!!!!!!!!
