Does anybody actually care what Dale Earnhart does? - GoFuckYourself.com

Mutt · 05-10-2007, 11:05 PM

why am i hearing so much about this hillbilly? this whole NASCAR is now a mainstream sport bigger than the NHL and NBA is a joke - its big, with the same people its always been big with, rednecks and hillbillies. Get the fuck off SportsCenter, i'll watch Talladaga Nights or reruns of Dukes of Hazard if I want that crap.

NASCAR is HUGE. Top 5 sport.

Pornwolf · 05-10-2007, 11:19 PM

A WHOLE LOT of people care.

Fortunately none of them live within 10 miles of me.

Dale Earnhardt died in 2001 at the dayton 500, so I guess you are talking about his son??? And I do agree that most fans are southerners "hillbillies", but did you know it all started during prohibition with rum runners all over the country...

Just for the record, College Football is the biggest spectator sport in the country.
One Michigan Stadium, beats any Nascar track any Saturday of the week, now multiply that by the amount of teams that play every Saturday in the entire NCAA.

MoDaddy · 05-10-2007, 11:53 PM

Ummm, no. Dale Gearbox sucks poop.

ztik · 05-10-2007, 11:58 PM

I live in the middle of hickville and I havn't heard of him for a while now

Fap · 05-10-2007, 11:58 PM

Hum. . . the people at this site tend to disagree with you. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_t...nited _States

they say Nascar has the most live spectators of any sport in the US and it has the second most TV viewers behind the NFL.

Also Michigan Stadium (per their website) holds 107,501 people. That is impressive, but it is about 61,000 shy of the 168,000 that Dayton can hold.

Also, about Dale Jr. I'm not a big fan of Nascar, but my brother is and he put it into perspective. He said Dale moving companies would be similar to someone like Payton Manning leaving the Colts to play for another team or Kobe Bryant leaving the Lakers. He basically says, "imagine the most popular athlete in any sport and imagine them leaving one team (especially if the team he was leaving was owned by his family) to go to another. It would be huge news.

Yeah, but there is only one race a week...there are hundreds of college football games, and there are a good 50 or stadiums that hold over 50k, not even including:
Notre Dame
Nebraska
Ohio State
Wisconsin
USC
Michigan State
Va Tech

Just add the spectators of those stadiums alone, and the TV viewing audience, and I haven't even tapped into The SEC, The Big East, and 10 other divisions, and then there are "little" schools like Western Michigan, and such that hold 20-30 thousand every game.
There is no way, one Nascar race a week beats just the schools I've named in spectators, both live and on TV.

As a whole, college football has more spectators than Nascar, and every other sport, there are just too many teams, and big stadiums.

I'm sure college has a ton of viewers. I don't know a lot abot nascar, I'm just going off what I have read. That page also says: "NASCAR sanctions over 1,500 races at over 100 tracks in 38 states, Canada, and Mexico." That's a lot of races.
