Speed On Park Avenue

cityrag has pictures of NASCAR's "Victory Lap" in New York, proving that there are NASCAR fans in a blue city. And with news last May that NASCAR was looking to create a roadway in the five boroughs, the presence of logo-emblazoned cars might be less surprising to our eyes. It looks this crowd is outside the Seagram Building on Park Avenue; Gothamist hopes that some Nascar dads were rubbing shoulders with the lunch crowd at the Four Seasons.

There are more NASCAR activities left for you to participate in.

"nascar" doesnt hate ny, believe it of not, not all of the drivers are rednecks, theyre from all over the US, its the fans that dislike ny, because the majority of them are rednecks

I thought demolition derby had an exclusive franchise on NYC streets, must be a Republican red-state sort of thing, letting NASCAR in

Nascar people hate New York. New York should reciprocate. Why are they here?

Who wants them? They are a blight on the community. Have a tow truck hook up their cars and tow 'em to the impound lot.

Hey I walked past a white Cingular NASCAR on 43rd and 8th at like 6:45 this morning, parked in front of a hotel. There was absolutely no one around it. I was like "WTF???"
