I'm not a NASCAR fan but pointing out the stupidity of the sport, it's fans and the drivers ostensible lack of talent is getting old. I'm certain driving those cars is a lot harder than you think. If it's so easy why aren't you boys out there making millions?
Besides I've seen an awful lot of dumb people at F1 races. Drunken sods half naked and covered in the body paint of the team du jour. Howling at the usual (and incredibly sexist) procession of pit babes standing out on 100 plus degree tarmac waiting for their conquerers. The whole thing is more than a bit silly.
If F1 marketed half as well as NASCAR Bernie would be a lot richer than he is now and I, for one, would be a much happier fan. At least NASCAR doesn't limit the wheel size to 15 inches; the drivers have their choice of tire manufacturers and the cars run on actual slicks- not grooved ballons.
Besides NASCAR doesn't charge you 600 Euros for a grandstand seat. And when sitting there I have pondered the intelligence of spending that and watching a procession of cars driving around in the same order they qualified- with little if any passing and even less strategy. While trying to ignore the chain smoking beer guzzlers on either side of me.
