Like maybe add a few more road tracks to the schedule!?... They run maybe 40 races and have TWO road tracks???
I record everything and the road races are always great but on all the ovals I just fast forward to the last ten laps. I couldn't care less about the wrecks. They should add five more road tracks... How about the NASCARs coming down the corkscrew at Laguna Seca!

The comment of how easy it is to get a trophy rings true!
We're into the first generation of not keeping the score now. French style socialism doesn't agree with me.

Couldn't agree more - the cars are much more fun to watch when the have to turn right as well as left. All the races should be on road courses...

LOL. Keyboard stock car drivers. 99% of you wouldn't last one second on an oval.

I think all racing other than NASCAR racing is dumb and only watched by pretentious knob heads.

Last Sat. nite I went to see this race then went to Daytona for some late night 24 action... not much 'action' on track, left in less then two hours.
Should have went to Daytona first... LOL.
Race cars or Race a clock.
IMHO... Grassroots stock car racing is real racing. No sissys or prissys allowed.
BTW: What Blair said is true. <---- enjoy!
Knowing what it takes to fix 'em... I hate seeing 'ANY racecar get wrecked, but short track is super aggressive, rough and tumble.
NASCAR Cup? WAY too commercialized, but huge respect for what it took for most of those drivers to get there.

What I'd like to see is NASCAR on dirt tracks again. But the NASCAR "brand" has become about money, same as 'bout everyhing else today; dirt tracks aren't big enough to pull in enough people to the track to sell enough merchandise. They aren't "grand" in scale like a superspeedway.

My own like or dislike for NASCAR racing doesn't really enter into my appreciation of this very creative promotional piece. I'm entertained by it regardless.

Never forget that first place goes to the racer with the MOST laps, not the racer with the FASTEST lap

I liked the gluten and "like" references.

"NEW YORK, Feb. 3 (UPI) — Over 18,000 people signed a petition asking NBC to remove an ad for its NASCAR programming originally run during Super Bowl XLIX in which Parks and Recreation star Nick Offerman says, “When our idea of danger is eating gluten, there’s trouble afoot.”....
“NBC is running a Super Bowl ad that makes fun of those who are gluten-free,” asserts the online petition."
And NBC has removed the line from the ad.
Sheesh.

A-holes like that make me sick, I'm tired of it and I wouldn't give into them. People need to start a petition to put the line back in the commercial.

AND... another one for those tassel loafer/shoe dangler marketing clowns that use dead kids to promote their product.
The commercials were too morbid.

I'm sure the content is appropriate to the intended audience. 'Nuff said.
