I do so enjoy watching a bunch of externally identical cars turn left for a couple of hours.
Actually, my complaints about NASCAR faded when different activities got their own television outlets. When other good stuff was pre-empted by the end of a NASCAR race on broadcast television back in the 1970s, it irritated me. Same thing for ballgames that ran overtime. Feh.
Drag racing a lot more fun to watch! And by that I mean the sport where vehicles try to move 1/4 mile faster than the other vehicle does, not a foot race among cross-dressers.
I was a huge NASCAR fan as a kid back in the 80s & 90s but a number of new rules has pretty much ruined what NASCAR was. Other than safety upgrades their chassis is really pretty dated..at least last I looked at one. It has been a few years but last I looked under one, they still had a truck arm rear suspension. When they tried the "car of tomorrow" I saw them as lost and grasping at straws to bring new excitement.
By then we had gotten involved in drag racing and I have in large part lost most interest in NAPCAR
