Here’s a poll I need some feedback on. Do you think on average that Nascar fans drive more aggressively then the rest of the population? Or is it just me?
When your going down the highway at 65 MPH and the side road traffic pulls directly out in front of you in a no passing zone do you apply the brakes or tailgate/draft? Yeah,maybe that 1’s just me.
I started pondering the question 1 day when both the vehicles I heard squeeling their tires had Nascar drivers represented on them. One being an Oldsmobile with a #29 liscence plate and the other a chick in a ford truck with the #17 filling up the back window.
Then I started noticing every time on the highway when someone just absolutely had to pass me and then match my speed they’d have a Nascar driver sticker in the window or a liscence plate of 1 on the vehicle.
How about racing everyone off the line? How many of you are guilty of that? I’m giving that up, I about got it the other day when some dumb bum ran their light.
I know I do my part to support the grubby tyrant’s in control of the black gold. How about you?
Do you think Nascar fans drive more aggressively or is it just me?

bump drafting...city
Back when I was a #3 fan, I got the “salute” a LOT! But I lost my driver and went with Harvick and I tended to get mad, pull over and go to fightin’! I still like Kevin, but became a #48 fan. Now all I do is wait patiently, pick my move, make a great pass and be there first when it matters!

I'd say
a lot of it is just stupidity. I haven’t noticed if there’s been any NASCAR stickers on vehicles or not. If they pull out stupidly (non clearing for safety) on me doing the speed limit, I"ll give them the horn & shake my head at them as I pass them, if I’m passing them. If they lip something to me, I just lip back stupid driver.
I’ve noticed some people who’ll refuse to let me pass someone on the highway. 3 lanes. I’ll be in the slow poke lane doing the speed limit & come upon a person who’s under the speed limit. I’ll go to pass & have plenty clearance but some butt wipe in the middle lane must notice my Stewart bumper sitkcer & have it out for me & start speeding up like mad to keep me from being able to go around the slow poke in front of me. I can even slow down slower than slow poke & middle lane maniac will slow down just as much. Sometimes if I’m on the highway long enough, I’m able to pass the slow poke & the maniac in the middle lane who’s caught himself. I too have to return the favor a little bit.
But in all honesty, it’s safer on a race track doing 200 MPH than it is doing 70 on the highway with idiots who don’t know how to drive!

OMG.. That so explains it
Now I know why all the idiots rev their engines and try to race me, I had no clue….. Silly Boys, Don’t you know that racing is meant for the track, not the streets? Silly boys and their silly fast toys,lol… Also explains why when last week, while shopping for groceries. I was wearing my official Sprint Cup series hat, and some little boys sent me into the frozen aisle wall.hehehehehe

nascar
I think most of us have been quilty of this at one time or another at least once in our life. LOL! I look for other Jr/ Harvick/ Sr fans driving on the highways. I sometimes wave if they are looking if they are fellow supporters. Also have drafted, go a little faster, etc to show that women 2 can love nascar. LOL!

Guilty as charged!
Maybe not so much as being agressive, but I cut low in the corners . take turn like they do at then track and GO GO GO when the gren “flag” waves!
So far, I haven’t gotten a “speeding penalty”.
And you just know that driving that way makes me install garage doors faster and better!
