I really don't believe people think Nascar is a joke, I do think a lot of people are board watching it unless a car flips upside down and a human legg flys out the window. Since that doesn't happen anymore, people want drama. Best ratings ever would be if Tony Stewart punched Brad Keselowski and smudged his lipstick.
Tbh as a Nascar fan I came here mostly to see how the comments would be. Also, I know people always perceive Nascar as a southern sport, and one dominated by Republicans, and was wondering how much of the liberal crowd ever watches it. Sometimes feels like I'm the only democrat watching, considering the Trump sponsored cars and how southern most of the fan base seems.
TheFredducky you're definitely not the only democrat watching Nascar! Been an avid fan since I was 7 and most of my room is all Jeff Gordon gear and race used memorabilia. Planning on going to pit crew school hopefully by 2018. I've wondered the same thing so you're not the only one!
I consider myself as a Democrat and I've been watching it since about '04-'05. Johnson has been my favorite since he won the Brickyard 400 in 2008 or 2009 cause I remember they had a shot of his car going down the front stretch to the Checkered Flag and it was kind of a low shot cause you could see his car at the front left fender and his bumper and left side. Anyways, i'm rambling, I've been a fan for a while and and i do consider myself a Democrat. Sorry for the paragraph.
Jimmie says, "there's one fruit left." and it's a banana. So hilarious. Jimmie is a nice man as I've met him twice and am a Harvick fan but he earned what he won.
A truly inspirational athlete who has his morals straight. Jimmie paints NASCAR in a good light and I wish more drivers & fans would be like him. I feel like when I share that I'm a NASCAR fan I have to follow with "Don't worry I'm a liberal" because of the stereotype of NASCAR fans (though for the most part it's earned) I honestly used to hate Johnson when I was a kid (yes, it's because he won all the time) but as I started to become a fan of drivers because of the type of person they were rather than how cool their car looked , Jimmie became one of my favorite drivers (My favorite driver was Reed Sorenson until he was sponsored by the Trump Campaign in 2016) I really hope NASCAR can move in the right direction over the next few years, but seeing as the most popular driver (Chase Elliott) endorsed Trump, I fear that the sport is too far gone.
Yes you should.. it is amazing once u get to understand the rules and changes and such.. the only issue is that most of the races are in FS1 or NBC SN.
I don't know, your description fits a lot more NASCAR drivers today than it would have years ago. Now it's rather uncommon for them to be poorly spoken.
***** I hope the irony isn't lost on you but despite the vest, I'm more alive than your uncle Bryan Clauson. I'm sure his was a meaningful life, driving around in a circle like a dog chasing it's own tail. While you assume the doggy position on your little brother, that's what the founding fathers envisaged all those years ago.
TheBaseballLiker Probably, I couldn't care less dude. Clearly I was being silly but some people like our friend +Jon Pizza felt it cut a little too deep loool.
***** Actually the term is Hajji, though I can understand if they use it in the American military. Since they're grasp of language is second to none. Also, please don't be foolish and say you didn't take it personally, I made a comment about nascar and you responded by calling me a jackass. Clearly your feelings were hurt, I get it though since Nascar is like a religion and Danica Patrick is your Goddess. It's ok Billy-Ray don't cry, I was only "horsin around".
Rebphoenix bud I want to see you try driving one of those cars and say it's not a sport you need to be in great physical condition to race those cars if you watched NASCAR you would understand
RobbieC don't think it's fair to compare both considering they're 2 different animals Case in point: Why does Juan Pablo Montoya struggle in NASCAR but not in F1
2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2013 and 2016 Nascar champion "Jimmie Johnson"
Congratulations to the whole crew
motorsports: The only sport you need two balls to play...
X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X same with rodeo
What about Danica Patrick lol
a lot of people think of nascar as a joke but when it comes down to it, that shit isn't a joke and takes balls to do.
I am a Formula 1 fan and I approve this message
F1 is a broken futile pile of shit "ooh which mercedes driver will win today?" fucking bullshit
Ok

Glad Colbert is continuing Letterman's thing of booking racing drivers. Now if he would just book the Indy 500 winner.
Stephen is from South Carolina so I'd say he's watched a good share of Nascar before
Honestly, that's the first time i've ever heard Jimmie laugh.
What a chill dude

nathan waskiewicz Good to hear :)

AJ Suriano Is pit crew school a thing?

Go 48 Go! Congrats Jimmie!
"you are gonna stop there with the fruit, there is a lot more left"...:)
He was born to win as soon as he was given that name
45? How about 48 years please?
Jimmie says, "there's one fruit left." and it's a banana. So hilarious. Jimmie is a nice man as I've met him twice and am a Harvick fan but he earned what he won.
A) my dad loves this driver
B) he's like Athlete Steve Carell
The only late show with Colbert I've ever watched. Lol

holy shit I have to start watching nascar now
That is SO true. He's my favorite driver and I'm only an engineer making 6 figures a year. LOL.
Yes you should.. it is amazing once u get to understand the rules and changes and such.. the only issue is that most of the races are in FS1 or NBC SN.
Stereotypical comment ^^.
Honestly television does not do it justice, it is an insane experience going to the track for a race.
Yeah, no. Dead wrong.
Video starts at 0:00
damn thats early
Spencer Haughian The sooner I get the word out, the more people I can help. It's my duty.
Thanks G
glardian966 keep up the great work. Much appreciated
Thank God it wasn't Kyle Busch
I'm hearing you. But having said that, when he won the 2015 Championship after missing the first 11 races, that was something else.
Not the biggest fan of Colbert but still cool for him to bring a racecar driver champion on.
Was he there in the Lightning McQueen incident?
He's too handsome and well spoken to have anything to do with Nascar.

He looks like the child of Brad Pitt and Matthew McConaughey
Stephen says lovely to meet ya, but Jimmie was on the Colbert Report back in the day
Way to go Cole Trickle
Turning left IS a sport!
Rebphoenix *Motorsport
Racing and boxing are truly the only "sports." Everything else is a "game."
But but... they have right turns too!
Rebphoenix Just ask baseball players.
Rebphoenix bud I want to see you try driving one of those cars and say it's not a sport you need to be in great physical condition to race those cars if you watched NASCAR you would understand
Looked like Neegan in the thumbnail
He should’ve brought all seven
I got to know him from Jimmy Johnson's anything with an engine
That photo was actually of Marge Simpson.
He said it correct, Dale Earnhardt, not Dale Sr.
I wonder if F1 drivers do hot yoga to adapt to high cockpit temperature.
Ming Tang Lewis Hamilton and other drivers have said they will do some workouts in saunas before very hot races like Malaysia
TENTH!!

FORMULA 1 RULES!
Triggerz :-)
MrDragon1968 look all the nobody triggered
Travis Hill
Don't put yourself down like that.
Why not both?
TheBaseballLiker
Dear boy. No one may rule by only turning left. That's blatant left-turnism. It's against the law.
Escarabajo de oro
....all the air out of Nascar.
If only NASCAR was a real sport
RobbieC well considering guys can't even back out of their driveways without hitting something I've got a lot of respect for these drivers
Travis Hill Haha that's a fair point but NASCAR will always be in F1's shadow in terms of skill required from drivers
Oh for sure!
RobbieC don't think it's fair to compare both considering they're 2 different animals
Case in point: Why does Juan Pablo Montoya struggle in NASCAR but not in F1
