KANSAS CITY, MO—Oh man, sources confirmed that it looks as though Paul Martinelli, that irritating guy from sales, is going to give you an entire breakdown of the differences between IndyCar and NASCAR after you—completely by accident, for Christ's sake—referred to the Daytona 500 as the Indy 500, and only in reference to the pace of work around your office.
"Open-wheel racing, such as IndyCar, is more concerned with aerodynamics, not to mention the obvious fact that the cars race on road and street courses in addition to ovals," said Martinelli, who is more than capable of droning on about this crap for hours, especially when he should, oh, let's see, be talking to potential clients, maybe. "Of course, you could say that here in the office we run around in circles all day just like drivers in both series! Heh! Ah, man.
elgordo99 Hah! Except it’s F1

It really IS ! :-)
uh oh, annoying coworker going to tell you that everything in life is the same and fucking breaks the simulation we are living in
I guess I'm that annoying co-worker
In all seriousness... They're not exactly the same thing?
I do so love this. And that's totally me.
Sxngmi
Its like looking in a mirror
I mean they are different. NASCAR is orginsed crashing and indycar is racing
Both are a big snore.
Hey, it's better than the endless talk of why my favorite group of over-paid grown men playing with an inflatable children's toy is better than yours.
No one: Absolutely no one: The Onion: screws up the auto racing parody article because actually their writer is the asshole who thinks all Motorsport is the same. (Read: annoying coworker thinks all types of racing are the same)
This is me
Don't forget about guy in R&D from Germany who will say that your both wrong and Formula 1 is the best.
Just kill me. Now.
It is different actually
Murph_Andy Holy shit this actually happened to me.
Well, AKSCHUALLY, NASCAR and IndyCar BOTH race on ovals AND road courses.
Hey NASCAR is running a road course next week! It’s like you guys didn’t do any research at all!
Yeah, his name is DLand91.
This implies that it isnt completely different, which it is.
Delete this
Do they go around in circles in a different direction?
Welp.
After he finishes, ask him which one has touchdowns and which one has home-runs?
I will, if you want
It isn't about the velocities involved. It isn't about the cars involved. It's all about the crashes ... & the audience's risk of death! 'Le Mans Motor Racing Disaster (1955) | British Pathé'
PatrickHNolan Are you dragging yourself PB
It me.
This guy can tell me whatever he wants
My understanding as an outsider is that the difference is that at the end of the race most of the Indy cars are still intact.
Nope
Or trying to convince you that although the Miami Marlins are by far the worst baseball team in the National League, that is irrelevant because two teams in the AL have worse records 🙄
What’s with all the left turns?
I swear I know that guy.
TonyDIndy you writing for the onion now?
Never tell an F1 fan that F1 is just 'hipster Nascar'. You'll be lectured for hours. Ugh.
Spudwinn
End car racing
It is.
Yes I will, also how it's better.
Just walk away slowly.
Well, it is, so... ;)
No thanks, my husband has already mansplained that to me.
Uggggghhh. Who cares. Racing is blaaahhhh =P
