I'm not even sure what the point is. I mean, do they score points for each lap around the track or something?
That is the exact same thing that I wonder when my dad watches it. I absolutely hate when he watches nascar it is so boring.And he actually finds it exciting when one car passes another one and gets closer to the leed.How is that exciting?

I don't know, abitagirl, but I do know that it causes quite a commotion on the radio as bad as March Madness does on television. A normal person would find the loud "buzzing" sound of a car passing by constantly annoying, but apparently they tend to embody the very being of being pests if they're willing to encourage the pointless competition with those ghastly stickers.
And, yea I've seen video of a train wreck before, Fat Man. But before that I saw a huge and incorrectly set up firework go off - and it did more than look pretty. It left a 20 ft hole in the ground and 1 lb to 5 lb chunks of burning clay and what-not near scorched the poor crowd watching. Then even train wrecks didn't cut it...

The numbers are their favorite NASCAR drivers car numbers. Some of them are placed on their windows to honor some NASCAR driver or other who died while racing. I think it is pretty stupid. Apparently NASCAR fans are as dumb as other pro sports fans. They will buy anything connected with their "sport".
