Why do some fans change the channel when it looks like Kyle will win?

Question

He cant help it hes so good. Are you a fan of the sport or just one driver? I am a fan of the sport so I will leave it on no matter who wins. Like a true fan does, I have ppl I hate to see win but I watch the races until its over anyway. anything can happen

Answer 1

i will keep the race on until close captions. i know people who can't stand kyle busch, yet they still keep the channel on cause that is the respectful thing to do.

Answer 2

I never change the channel.  Even if I was against Kyle winning which I'm not but theres always the chance a car can blow up in the final laps.  Just ask Denny Hamlin :(

Answer 3

I hate the fact that he cheats on a normal basis. There is no reason he should be winning races. He thinks he is the next Dale Earnhardt and the commentators think that the people will stop hating him, but thats not the case.

Answer 4

They arent fans of NASCAR they are "FANS" of Dale JR

Answer 5

Same reason everyone was complaining when Johnson was winning all the races last year. Jealousy!!

Answer 6

Same reason some turned it off last year when Jeff or Jimmy were going to win

Answer 7

I'm a die hard Nascar fan, I stay for the entire race, whether its torture chamber time with Rowdy or not, but if he is leading some of the people who come over if they think he's gonna win they'll opt to go into the other room and watch baseball, once the checkered flag falls, I turn on the Jack Daniels post race show on line..

GO Dale Jr & Hms

Answer 8

Because some people are just @sshole and dont want one driver to win and if that driver wins they get pissed. People cant hate him forever he has won 7 races already

Answer 9

im a true true fan but i just getting tired of seeing kyle win week nascar gotta do something or some one wreck him cause it makes the races boring an nobody wants to watch

Answer 10

I usually watch until someone crosses the finish line on the last lap.  And unless it's Jr, that's when I turn the channel or go about my business doing other things.

Does it infuriate you that much that I will ADMIT that I am more of a fan of one driver than I am the sport?  Must suck to be you.

Answer 11

HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY CHANGE THE CHANNEL?

Answer 12

Only true NASCAR fans will bring themselves to sit and suffer through it.

Answer 13

Not me ,I'm there till the fat lady sings .

Answer 14

I don't do that at all.  However, I did buy HotPass and switch through the 4 drivers each race to not have to listen to DW.  :)

Since Fox is not on any more I don't have to do that.

Answer 15

I really do not like Kyle Busch although I watch the entire race even if it looks like he is gonna win. I mainly watch it because David Ragan races. FYI- He's not good. It's the car. The toyotas are just better than the others. (sobs)

Answer 16

Racing has always held true to the fact that it isn't over till it's over. There have been hundreds of finishes that were mere seconds, or even less, between first and second place, just as there have been blowout races. To be a true fan you have to understand NASCAR but most people watch to see what "their driver" is going to do. Personally I am a die hard "Smoke" fan, but I have a lot of respect for what Kyle has accomplished this year. Why do people turn it off when he is winning.....my opinion....everybody loves the underdog and that just does not fit him this year

Answer 17

i dont

Answer 18

I don't change the channel either, I do stick around to see where my driver finishes. Besides there is that chance that something might happen in the closing laps, I mean come on I was waiting for him to s***w up big time at Darlington.

Answer 19

because they can't see the true racing talent that Kyle has,

that is why they change the channel.

Answer 20

because they are not TRUE NASCAR fans at all.

Answer 21

I watch the entire race most of the time. If it is truly a boring race, I will change the channel for a bit, but I will always go back to the race after a few minutes.

Answer 22

I will keep the race on until the show goes off the air.

I am a fan, and have no animosity if my favorite does not win.

Answer 23

I dont change the channel.  I do feel like I need to puke when certain drivers win.  I get very emotional during the races.  I threw my remote into a wall once when Kenseth got wrecked.  It exploded into 20 pieces.  But thats what makes it fun.

Answer 24

I like most drivers, but my 3 favorites are Junior, Kasey Kahne and Casey Mears. I don't like Kyle's ego, but even if he is gonna win, I still watch because with his car always as lose as it is, you never know what is gonna happen. I enjoyed watching the Coca Cola 400(or what ever they call it now) this year because Kyle coulda wrecked about half the field had he not saved the car, and then he fell back to about 37th and still went on to win. I give him props for that, so no I don't turn off the tv when it looks like he is gonna win.

Answer 25

Because he is a Toyota.  I support American made cars.

Answer 26

He's the new guy and has no fan base whatsoever. Im not a nascar guy, but take a look at little E for example. How much history and legacy does he have in comparison to the guy in the 88 car? Its not even close. His dad died racing in this sport. Kyle is the new kid on the block and needs time if going to be considered great. You cant mess with tradition and thats what Nascar is built on. Yes money is involved and yes sponsors switch cars and teams switch drivers, but lets be real. The teams that are known. The Gordons, The Earnharts stick to their guns have been with the sport awhile. Racing just isnt a bandwagon type of sport. Right now anyone that claims Kyle Busch is automatically assummed to be a bandwagon type of guy. If your a Kyle fan I wish you the best of luck in the years to come bc thats when the true fan isnt tested. Not when hes hot, but when the struggle starts...

Answer 27

I change the channel when he is about to win b/c im tired of seeing the same boring celebration time after time. Oh and not to mention he acts like Nascar owes him something if anything he owes Nascar for making him rich and famous. Classless guy.

Answer 28

Some people watch way too much T.V. In a situation like that they would be better off turning off the T.V. and doing something important instead of continuing to watch the stupid T.V. I don't know where you people get your statistics but your wrong.
