I don't watch either, but what's the "sophistication" difference? Road courses with left and right turns versus just left turns on NASCAR tracks?

The difference may have existed 5+ years ago, but it doesn't anymore.

NASCAR fans are just as versed in pit strategy, tire management, fuel management etc as F1 fans are these days.

NASCAR has always had that level of sophistication in their approach to race management, it just wasn't talked about as openly or as often.

So, if some blog is being condescending, they do so out of ignorance for how race tactics are discussed during a NASCAR race.
