I have no idea. It completely baffles me.

Because NASCAR is a Family Based Sport. They Joke, throw things at eachother, They always do the National Athem. The Military Fly overs are Awesome. The Track conditions very track to track, Never can predict Who will win. I like it when they interview the driver and they try to squeeze all their Sponsors in the mix, Oh and of course they take a swallow of their Sponsors beverage....Never seen them take a swig of Beer though...LOL, or Crown Royal, Maybe they would all do better if they did....NOT!

Why do you watch F1?  The only talent there is the engineers that setup the car.  Everything is computer controlled so the driver just speeds up, slows down, and steers.  There is no passing.  Gotta worry about spinning the tires?  Nope they have traction control.  What about locking the brakes?  Nope ABS.  Missing a shift?  Sequential shift and no clutch.  Racing at its finest there.  They figured out how to take all the human variables out which is why they cant pass.

I know!!!!!  F1 and Indy are waayyyyyyyyyyy better!!  So so so much faster!!  NASCAR is just taking over auto racing!  Pretty soon there will be no more Indy, F1, Champ Car, or sprint cars!  I have no idea why so many open wheel drivers are switiching to NASCAR!!  I mean most of them are making over 1,000,000 dollars a year!!  Although some them do go over to NASCAR for the money!!
