I am a nascar fan,and I agree most are rednecks and most of the races are borring.But I just wanted to put my 2 cents in.If any one watched the race today--there is no dought that those guys are the best race car drivers in the world.Almost 190mph not a inch seperating you .Earnhardt jr showed me today just how great of a driver he is!---peace out

Yeah I've seen it, great drivers indeed, I mean who else then these rednecks can go 190MPH and have 5 Caution Flags in one race like the one today?

Yup, and MOTO GP drivers also. Oh and Rally.

I'm not saying that NASCAR drivers aren't talented. They just aren't the most talented drivers in the world.

the most technically talented and skilled drivers are FIA world rallye drivers. PERIOD. 160mph sideways, 10,000ft up with the side of a cliff on teh rear of your bumper.....should be NO QUESTION.



there is no doubt that every type of racing has its own technicallity, but you take the danger from all of them, minus the side by side scenario, and you have rallye racing.....ice, mud, snow, tarmac, and god forbid the cliffs and the water troughs, and couple that with a guy telling you what he thinks is coming up.....no way.....rallye drivers are the BEST.....

there all great drivers---but you see what happens when they put them in identical cars---round track or the road courses==the guys in nascar kick there ***.Look at what earnharts team did before he died in the 24 hour race--they kicked ***!

The best race drivers turn right. And left. And do U turns. In the snow. And mud. And rocks. At night. At triple digit speeds. Period.

If the rally guys would actaully race each other and not time,and they didnt have someone in the other seat telling them every turn,and bump i might agree

yeah, but Rally stages aren't like an Oval or even a road course , you only drive them once or twice in an event so it would be pretty hard for a driver to remember the route



Nascar etc. does take driver skill, but you just have to look at how many Nascar drivers try to make it into F1 and fail , and how many ex F1 drivers have kicked *** on the ovals to see that its not as demanding as F1
