That may all be true, but it still doesn't make it exciting to watch.

You may want to re-read the first sentence of the third paragraph again.

When i see the 30 million Americans watching them 2 ****ing shows, i am like why why why why why why? wtf is the appeal.
When I see someone bitching about the downfall of America while using "them 2 ****ing shows", I find it difficult to even imagine they have a ****ing clue.

Now, about the otehr stuff the OP was asking. Oh well. lol
Who give's a rat's ass how it's classified?

If I think an activity is not a sport, then to me it isn't a sport.

I don't get it.
If the rednecks in this country were going to make racing into a huge sport why didn't they pick rally racing or something, but no they picked driving in a circle? What the hell?

what could be more exciting than watching someone slam you through the wall at speeds over 200mph? watching someone get their knee blown out? http://www.eunuch.org/vbulletin/imag...ies/ponder.gif

And you would be right. They were legislated out by the "tobacco settlement" that limited their participation in sports advertising.

I didn't think the change from Winston to Nextel/Sprint had anything to do with their feelings about cig's, but had more to do with RJ Reynolds not renewing and Nextel jumping in with the bucks to sponsor it.

As for hard liquor, there were a lot of restrictions on advertising on TV for hard liquor, and the NASCAR ban probably had to fall in line to be aired on TV. I still think they can only advertise the hard stuff after prime time, while things like Cariton can be advertised any time of the day.

So I guess I really have no idea what you are upset about.

They advertise Viagra on one of those cars. Maybe Mark Martin's. :D

I think there is a car that had Jack Daniels on the hood of it currently.
