You sound like a clueless out of touch bitter old man when you post stuff like this. I know none of that is true so stop your damn whining and get back to being the Bobby we all know and love. :)

Feel free to post the epic Josh Wise stats that suggest he belongs in the Cup Series. (is that better?)

He won on a FAN vote.
Fans of his voted him in.
Where is the problem?

If anything, he just brought thousands if not millions of viewers to the sport just to see him win. This sport will take viewers how it can take 'em.

Exactly. If Danica had won the vote she would have been no more righteous.

She has used the internet and personal photos to help her popularity as well as any driver I have known. Josh Wise has every right to seize the same opportunities.

It is quite a feat by the underdog. His teams budget is a fraction of Danicas and he has not had the same opportunities to be as pathetic with a such a wealth of rescources.

He also isnt a hottie that gets to use a sports illustrated swimsuit spreads to gain an advantage. But even in an internet world that thrives on sensuality, he still managed to get the vote.

Sometimes for a few moments life is just.

Tons of redditors are becoming NASCAR fans because of Dogecoin. These are mostly young, intelligent fans with very good incomes. This is a good thing the NASCARS.

I seriously doubt it. They just think it's a big joke on the rednecks.

Maybe but you have to applaud their effort.
I think they did a great job firstly with the Doge sponsorship and now the fan vote.

How are you not throwing a tantrum about Stenhouse? The Tasmanian devil got shafted!

But you're absolutely right. Shows the power of a community on the internet.

I'll bet none of you youngsters could navigate a V8 pushrod motor or a V-Twin Harley motor. :D

Bronies are grown men who are fan of a show called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. This particular phenomenon started on the 4chan /co/ forum and kinda blew up all over the Internet in 2011 and 2012.

I seriously never knew that stuff. Magic Little Pony stuff seems like such a tragic waste of the inhernets to me.

Yeah, so awful for the sport. How will it ever recover?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Hi, Shibe here....Are all nascar fans as rad as you all are?
If the answer is yes, you just made a new fan....dead serious!

- Thanks for putting this together! I'm curious to understand what the balance of skills is for success in NASCAR. Is it mostly about hand/eye coordination, logistical planning of pit stops, getting the right equipment, game theory about when to try to pass someone...?

- so... kind of more like a 10 k as opposed to hurdles? both running events, but one is nore focused on technique, breathing, and pace as opposed to a sprint, and many quick jumps?
also, thank you very much! I never ever ever ever ever ever thought i would be interested in nascar but here i am!

- Hi do you mind crossposting this to /r/dogecoin or if I do? This got me super excited for the race and I'm sure it'll do the same for many other shibes who are new to NASCAR as well!

- Wow, thanks for patiently explaining NASCAR to us shibes everyone. I'm so excited for this race!

- Awesome! Shibe here, was a fan of Dale Earnhardt for years and when he passed, I was deeply saddened. I lost track of the sport after that but doge came along and now doge & NASCAR are together...so I'm back baby!!!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What a shame, people are actually giving NASCAR a chance!

Wtf is reddit, or Dogecoin. I'm not joshing either, im not very wise about that stuff

Reddit: Think of Reddit as...the world's biggest Internet Mall, that has thousands if not millions of stores in it. The stores are catered to very specific taste. There's a store for NASCAR fans, a store for Bronies, a store for those of Redditors who are into BDSM. If there's an interest in it, there's a store for it. Trust me, I've seen some pretty ****** gross things on Reddit.

Dogecoin: You've heard of Bitcoin right? The crypto-currency that only exist online? Dogecoin is the same thing, but has the Doge meme on the face of it's crypto-coin instead of a dollar sign or whatever Bitcoin had.

Pushrod v-8 yes, v-twins, idk. But I imagine it's basically just a quarter of a V-8. I'm sure I could figure it out. I suck at interneting though so.....

Actually, the whole John Wise thing is supported by NASCAR fans. There is a subreddit devoted to NASCAR. You can see it here.

I visit there from time to time but I just lurk and don't leave tracks. The place is full of the worlds best hackers. I still think a lot of the so called brains on there think the average Nascar fan is too dumb to put his shoes on the right feet.

Hey I drive one of them fancy new high-bird cars. Havent paid for gas in a month.

I can either buy a 500 horse power car and sit in traffic or a 200 horsepower car and sit in traffic. o_O
 
Man, how sad is it that the John Wise thing is generating more interest in this thread than the race itself?

I can't drive a hybrid. Just can't. 4 bangers are cool. I just like internal combustion engines really.
