It's intense on TV, even more so at the track. The sound is crazy.

The same rule applies to it as other sports - no one cares until you pick someone to care about. For any reason or no reason. I made my husband choose and he picked Jimmie just before his first championship, now he's into it and all our kids are. A couple of my kids picked Kyle Busch for the "M&Ms candy car".

Same with baseball, pick a team, get invested for a month and you'll be hooked because of rivalries, action, wins and losses and blown calls.

i agree,i drove stock cars and sprint cars in the 80s,it was a blast.almost as much fun as entering a structure fire!!!......well was for me anyway.i have a life long friend who works in the engine shop at JGR,and built many of kyles engines when he first moved the JGR.my buddy also built 5 engines that won the indy 500,yes i know its not nascar,but someone had to build em fer thems open wheelers......

crashing is very expensive but anyone in this sport knows that this is part of the game

My husband NEVER misses a race and ill just get on my iPad and watch something else. When he gets up to go to the restroom, I'll holler, MATT!! You better hurry, they are about to make another left turn!!

They should show the rest of this, the car goes headfirst into the catch fencing, effectively removing the roof and acting like a cheesegrater, literally ground him down to his 6th vertebrae, his head was found in it's helmet, near the pit road.
