Nascar Thread part II

[Stephen06GT]

If you ask me Nascar needs to go back to the the old days and let the guys have some personality.
They all sound like Hockey players with the exact same comments after the race.
I don't like the guy, and i can only guess why he is in Nascar but come on, it's a Video game.
Dale Earnhardt used to crash people to win races and he was considered a hero. Now guys fart inside the car and they get reprimanded.

If Bubba was winning races it would be a different story.

Not at all, IRacing is considered a serious deal, he was out there representing his team and sponsors just like on an actual race day.

Speaking of iRacing. This is pretty cool.

I get it that it is considered a serious deal but it is a game and they are not racing for points, the sponsor was probably looking for a way out and this was it.
Yes, they are representing their sponsors and that's my point. Be it a game or actual racing they need to let this guys have some personality.

Loved Neil Bonnett, would like to see him get voted in.

[Zippy]

Iracing is not a game. It's a sim.

[ZR]

Expectations he'd act like a professional when representing his team, his sponsor and Nascar in a televised event to me seems reasonable.

[fast Ed]

Iracing is not a game. It's a sim.

Is there a chance that you'll get injured or killed if you crash? No? OK, then it's a game ...
