There really aren't that many NASCAR forums that I found. I ran some searches in google, which didn't return much. Then I went to Jayski's and found a small list of forums/message boards and found this one. I don't think it was the most active, it just looked like one that I could enjoy...and it runs on vBulletin, which I've grown accustomed to on a handful of my other forums.
If your biggest complaint is the amount of traffic, I would encourage you to be part of the solution (posting, telling others about the site) instead of the problem (leaving).

I'll 2nd that.
Of course it's the first one I found and stopped looking after that so my opinion is definitely biased
No real complaint - sorry if I mis-stated. I just wanted to know if there is a chatroom for when the race is on. I enjoy chatting during the event.

Okay, my opinion is not biased (or is it?) but after reading trash posted on other forums, accompanied by juvenile name calling and newbies or trollers picking up the pace, decided it wasn't worth it to stick with the high traffic, heart pounding , action filled negativity and immature behaviors many posters use.
At least here, and this forum pretty much speaks for itself, the trolls are quickly discovered and the newbies informed without being insulted. There is rarely, if ever, name calling.
If you want high traffic and plenty of controversy, this is not the place for you.
If you want average discussion without the negative factors thrown in, you might sit back and see what it is all about.
I could easily name every member of this forum, who, over the years I have either agreed or disagreed with. Some tried hard to kick butt and take names, myself included, yet in the end, there is a certain respect for every one who sticks it out here. The trollers, agitators, know-it-alls and wanna-bes do not seem to last.
Not enough excitement perhaps ????
We might fight, anger, pull a leg or two (get that Barelypure?), cajole, tease or flat out tell someone their driver sucks, even be disappointed in the responses from some who post here regularly, but every one of them who stays remains for the same reason and that is respect of the give and take and for each other.
The anger or disappointment that results from discussions fades away and the people who do stay find this to be a good forum.
No need to beg people to visit, or stay. The ones who stay appear to be more interested in racing as a sport and not in how much crap or controversy they can create.
If crap and controversy are what you enjoy, and you hang around here long enough, sooner or later you will get your wings clipped.
With all that being said, I'm gonna go walk my corgi. The rest of you can fight it out.

Hey - no offense. I'm a nascar fan and an nba fan. Sure, you folks think anybody who likes basketball is stupid...but I played it in HS and like the sport. Being in Atanta...I watch the Hawks (rrrrrrrr) and like to chat with other fans during the game.
My question is...........is there a chatroom to yack back and forth during the race?

It's cool
Now that I re-read it, "complaint" seems a bit of a mis-statement itself.

Who said the NBA is stupid.......
That was just what i was about to say..i myself enjoy a game or two of Basketball.
But really my question was about a chatroom. Is ther one here? The DT500 is perfect for that - lotsa time in between - surely there is a chatroom for nascar - there is a great one for the Hawks (and the Hawks suck).

Now when have I ever done any of that...
And, besides if I could remember which driver you pull for he does suck.
Personally I think we have a good crowd. And, once the newbies learn that I'm always right even if I change my mind several times on any given issue the better off they will be.
And, to all the rest, pfffftttttt...
No, we don't have a chat room here. Usually, someone just starts a race thread and everyone just posts in it before, during and after the race. The only race related chat room that I am aware of is at nascar.com. That is, if it still exists after all of their upgrading.
Maj, the NASCAR.com thing stinks as far as I'm concerned and being on dial-up just makes it slower.
I only frequent two Nascar chat forums, this one and the other is ....

All I can say is that the Whiz is full of beans, and BP being always right! 
I've never seen where he even knew what he was talking about let alone being right. Oh, I'm sorry, the mentally impaired always believe they are right, so I guess he's always right...no, I mean that he IS always right. Or is that correct? And who is the Whiz anyway? Now where was I?
But seriously, this forum is very much like all the other forums on the world wide web. It's a family here and like all families, there are times when the family has squabbles and times when they have reunions. Most of the time when the squabbles appear, it's because a newbie comes in and in stead of assimilating with the crowd and getting to know everyone, they make controversial statements. That in turn can start the whole process of bickering back and forth. I've said this time and time again, if people would just get to know one another, if need be through PM, life would be so much better. It's much better to argue, debate something with someone you know than to do the same with a new avatar.
See, BP was right.

No Offense ....but the truth.............................,is

The whole world is NOT broadband.

As far as a chat goes you may want to check out the shoutbox on the front page of this forum. Others have mentioned it and it appears to be the same type of format as a chat room.
