    Anyone enjoy watching? This used to or maybe it still is the most watched sporting event.

    I heard on the radio this morning that NASCAR attendance last year was done 50% from the previous year.
    But now tat they are having the TRUMP 500 it should re-energize the sport. Except they won't be turning left anymore for that race as they will be turning right and going clockwise!

    This did not need an official thread.... and it definitely did not need an official thread on the main forum.

    I sincerely doubt he is. He did it because NASCAR is BIG in Charlotte. Honestly, super intelligent marketing by his team.

    Didn't know it was on. Turned on tv and saw it. Watched a few minutes and heard about radio communication with their spotters. Then I saw a shot of a bunch of guys with binoculars. Whooooo hoooo!

    Then I turned to youtube and watched funny dog videos instead. Much better

    I literally care about Dame's NASCAR colorway shoes more than the race, and I don't really care about those all that much. Haha

    These crashes during the last 10 laps are hilarious.

    There has to be only 10 cars left that can finish the race.

    Seriously, Im surprised more people in this form aren't into this. Daytona is said to be one highest viewed sporting events.

    I have never once in my life watched the entire race. Maybe like 10-15 minutes of it...
