Celebrate Valentine's Day NASCAR style with the Daytona 500

[SuperMillionaire]

Watch the 52nd annual Great American Race, the 2010 Daytona 500, on Valentine's Day at 1PM EST. Boogity-boogity-boogity! Let's go racin', boys!

Boogity-boogity-boogity!

[SuperMillionaire]

Let's go racin', boys! There's nothing like going across a tri-oval superspeedway at 190 mph.

vroooooooooooom!
I'll pass :p

[Melissaur]

wow and I thought Valentines day couldn't get any worse. But thanks for pointing this out.

[erikramza]

FUCK YEAH. I AM GOING TO TAKE MY DATE TO MY HOUSE TO WATCH NASCAR.
This will surely 'get me some'.

:barf:

[SuperMillionaire]

What's wrong, Rubah?

[rubah]

If you think NASCAR is a romantic idea for valentine's, then I'm glad I will never date you.

[SuperMillionaire]

The Daytona 500 tends to fall in close proximity to both Valentine's Day and Presidents' Day (which is tomorrow), and around 1-2 weeks after the Super Bowl. Usually, the race falls between a couple days before or after Valentine's Day, but this year, it happens to fall directly on Valentine's Day.

[Rantz]

Hey now people, nobody said V-day has to be about romance for everyone! ;}

Boogity-boogity-boogity!

[SuperMillionaire]

Feel your heart race.

My step-dad likes NASCAR. I have never understood it.

[SuperMillionaire]

The basic premise is that 43 stock car drivers circle around a track 100s of times at speeds of 190-200 mph.

[Raistlin]

I know what it is; I've just never understood the appeal.

Now, I went to some local stock car races, and those were pretty badass. Shorter races and a MUCH greater chance for some epic wrecks (I once saw a car flip end-over-end three times in the air).

[SuperMillionaire]

Try watching NASCAR races at Talladega Superspeedway; that track is notorious for massive wrecks that collect 20+ cars at once! Such a wreck is known as "the Big One." These massive wrecks also sometimes occur at Daytona as well.

I'll just go visit a high school to see that kind of disaster.

Let's go racin', boys! There's nothing like going across a tri-oval superspeedway at 190 mph.

This is what I say to pick up men.


Works every time.

[erikramza]

OH YES. I watched NASCAR with my date, and she loved it so much dat she gave me sum dik.

... I mean. Nevermind. Trans-genders are baaaad!

[SuperMillionaire]

Ooooooh...

[Mo-Nercy]

I like motor-racing but I've never had the inclination to sit down and watch NASCAR for more than 10-15 mins at a time. I probably just don't know enough about it.

I like Marcos Ambrose though.

[SuperMillionaire]

He's from Australia.

Maybe you like to watch just the final 10 laps of the race?
