1996Nascar in Japan Dale Earnhardt NO 5

[DuckwalkSupreme]

The full Suzuka circuit would be very fun for NASCAR.

Japanese commentators are so funny

[kimchislayer]

i bet most of the japanese poeople there came just to see Tsuchiya race a stock car

[peacelovers23cafe]

@kimchislayer thanks comment.

Those days, my interest was the joy which can see nascar in Japan, and the first pleasure to run the Suzuka road course.

naccar is very wonderful.

[YouTuble13567]

is this even real?

[honhon05]

those were probably some of the best times of racing during those few years

Japanese commentators are funny.

[snowddoogg]

is it wrong to think that these japanese comentators are a lot better then espn comentators

[btoisawesome]

i don't think they should go worldwide but they should do more exhibition races like this. they stopped going to mexico in nationwide and they might be stopping the one in canada aswell

[ChockableChimp]

They call it National Association Stock Car Auto Racing for a reason. Keep it in America.

[ArmadeusXxC]

@ChockableChimp  That's a good way to kill the sport.

[pikahudude387]

@ArmadeusXxC It's been in America since 1948, still going strong. They only did one race outside of America and it was this race. The sport didn't change at all.

[18carNASCAR]

@pikahudude387 they have had 2 races outside the US, Montreal currently on the Nationwide schedule and it was once on the Nationwide schedule but isnt any more Mexico City

[SashaNein]

Suzuka was one of my favorite tracks in NASCAR '98 for Playstation/Saturn/PC. I didn't know they actually raced here. They really should consider doing another race here, but I bet they don't see it getting any ratings compared other tracks since your standard Nascar fan only cares about going real fast while sometimes turning to the left. Adding a RIGHT turn is pure sorcery.

Hopefully that will change, as Sonoma just had 5 million viewers. They used to get 5,000 viewers.

[CookieDude1178999]

I believe that the Cup Series should go to more road courses, and ought to go to Montreal with the Nationwide Series.

If more races are held out of the U.S.; not a terrible amount, but two or three a season, NASCAR would reach a global influence they haven't had since the three years in Japan.

[AngryGundamGamer]

And Ironically NOT A SINGLE TOYOTA IN THE ENTIRE FIELD!!!!!

[PttyBlue43]

@AngryGundamGamer toyota wasn't in nascar in 1996

[bandman232]

@AngryGundamGamer They didnt enter untill 2007

[99boyz]

if nascar goes worldwide i will soop watching

keep it in america

[HilaryHaylieRocks08]

i wish they go back here!!!!

[giantpanda2nd]

haha. that's "fast"

[C0LL1N]

i bet 90 percent of the people in japan didnt even watch this, but the americans loved it. nascar should go worldwide. make those drivers jetlagged every week

[erasetoimprove]

@C0LL1N actually this race produced the 2nd highest ever ratings in Japan to date... even up to today.

[g0ing2n0where]

wow, suprising that they would race at suzuka, thats an awfully challenging course for a 4000lb stock car

[AngryGundamGamer]

@g0ing2n0where And what's awesome is how smooth and fast they seem to take the corners! From the looks of it... Subarashi no toraku desu!!!! XD (Wonderful track)

[Motorsport1999]

Nascar should go worldwide

[Tryphon34]

yep :D

[FrosChannel]

@Motorsport1999 I think people would treat the sport with much more respect if it were in much more countries and tracks that are more than just a oval. The cars in Nascar kick ass, but all they do is go in a circle and gets boring very quickly until the last few laps for checker flag.

[snappy452]

@Motorsport1999 dont think there would be nearly enough support for it, open wheel/rally racing is much bigger world wide than NASCAR could probably ever get.
