I went to see this last night and it was damn impressive, the 3d was amazing and the camera work was supurb.. even if you think nascar is a bunch of rednecks drivin in a circle you should check it out.

Nascar is the #1 viewed sport in the country, bigger than the world series and superbowl combined. I love it, and when i get a night off from work am definately gonna check it out.

I can't believe that any single racing event is more viewed than the superbowl. I'm trying to look it up as we speak, so if someone has some proof, let me see it.

Allright, this is the closest I can find to proof, so anyone feel free to prove me wrong. It is an article about FOX networks sports dominance (dated Jan 7, 2004). The last article gives ratings for Football, Post-Season baseball, and Nascar. Looks like Nascar is last:

While FOX Sports' NASCAR and NFL coverage performed well, much of the network's ratings improvement in 2003 can be traced to the remarkable performance of postseason MLB, the highest-rated since 1995. FOX' 24 postseason broadcasts averaged a 10.5/18 rating (up +28% over last year's 8.2/14), and attracted an average audience of 16.3 million (up +28% over last year's 12.8 million). The third season of NASCAR on FOX posted a 5.8 household rating, even with 2002, while the NFL on FOX in 2003 finished at 10.3, virtually flat with a year ago (10.5).

I bet the IMAX looks awesome b/c Nascar is all about speed. But IMO only making left turns = boring

thats what most of my friends think, they are a bunch of rednecks. my friend got pissed at me when i had a nascar sticker on my windshield once on the 99 Accord. he said i was endorsing white trash.

I'm not a NASCAR fan, but I saw a preview for that IMAX movie and I am dying to see it. Looks really cool.
