I just had a conversation yesterday about how Travis Pastrana would boost NASCAR's ratings. Nonetheless, you can count me out.

co driver " Wide left easy 5!"

driver " Ok "

Its nascar. How is watching rednecks drive around a circle 500 times entertaining?

skiing is just pointing yourself down hill and trying not to fall

sounds a little ignorant, does it not?

ok true, but only because you get shloberknock wasted all day and the cars sound fucking awesome when they fly by, not to mention i have never seen so much boobage flashed at a public event before.


but travis going into nascar, that i do not support. i would much rather watch him in a rally car. but then again, people have their own opinion, some like soccer, some like football.

Twenty-two. But they let you bring in like thirty apiece, so it's cool.

plus, travis is doing it from travis' perspective, not an audience/spectator's perspective. im sure being behind the wheel, hearing the roar of your engine as you push your car to its limits for 500 miles would be such a rush, especially with 42 other cars right up against you, driving bumper to bumper..

says the guy who skis.

you can't take something you like and claim it's more valid than something you don't like. i know, it's apples and oranges, but if you think there's nothing more to a nascar race than pushing the gas pedal and navigating an oval track, i'm gonna go ahead and call you out for being ignorant

Theres more to car racing than driving around a track, but yeah, its pretty boring.

Travis Pastrana should not go into that. I'd much rather watch him rally.

i definitely agree with this, i can imagine its pretty intense going 200mph inches away from a pack of cars.

not singling you out, i'm sure you're at least a little kidding, but nascar is not simple or easy at all. even just the clutch work they need to do would impress everyone here. there's so much that goes into the sport that none of us even notice/realize


that being said, yeah it's boring as shit to watch to someone who is ignorant of it like me

Yeah. I am sure it takes skill to drive those 700hp cars. Not to mention you have to throw the slip stream and aerodynamics of the cars into the equation with all the drift lines and things. I just don't like really think its an entertaining thing to watch.

plus, it's not like he needs to make anymore money. he can just do whatever the fuck he wants now, haha

and i definitely agree with your icon. every day i find myself being converted from more of an ass man to a boob man..

i really am a big fan of a nice pair of boobs, but im only happy when they are paired with a small waist, nice ass and matching legs. like my current gf, couldnt ask for more.

Haha, this. And they don't even go 200, they max out at like 191. He should have gone and raced F1 cars. Course he would probably get dominated there and his fan base is largely rednecks, but redbull has the F1 hookup.

BORING.

probably one of the lamest things Pastrana has ever done. although he's probably just gonna go prove how fuckin easy it is to go really fast in a circle.

Kinda like Jon and ski racing???

Although I don't get it, and I dont like ski racing or nascar, they can do whatever they want and I doubt the care about us hatin.

thank you, i know a couple nascar drivers and there is allot of skill that goes into driving a stock car. The power to down-force ratio of those cars is very high, which makes them hard to drive. Also the amount of engineering that goes into building, developing, and setting up the cars and engines is defiantly not for "dumb rednecks".

He is probably gonna make about 5 times more money in NASCAR as compared to Motocross or Rally driving. I say more power to him.

my uncles loves it, my dad has recently found interest in it, and i've had the opportunity to see one of the recent races in new hampshire. i'm not gonna lie, i have no interest in watching it on tv, or following standings or anything like that, but holy shit was it ever epic. for the hours that we were there watching it, ill tell ya, we were on the edge of our seats, completely immersed in the atmosphere and thrilled the entire time. what an experience. it's unreal.

just goes to show, don't be close-minded because you think you might not enjoy something. give it a chance, and you may be pleasantly surprised.

I assume he wants to do it simply because it's a new venture in auto racing for him personally. He clearly has an interesting in any form of racing, so why not keep going with it?


plus to be honest, if I had the money he has, I'd probably start finding ways to spend it and occupy myself.
