I rarely, if ever, watched NASCAR before this summer, but...

I heard the white wimen are watching because they heard a guy named “ bubba” was hung! Sorta

95% of the nascar race doesnt matter. every race pretty much ends in a green-white-checker or ends under caution.

Not really accurate. Crashes that happen during the race matter. At non-superspeedway races, strategy during the race matters. Who ultimately wins may not be decided until the end, but there are things that happen throughout the race that matter.

But muh ovals

Trust me when I say this - that was one of the best Brickyard races in recent memory. That race is usually a snoozefest, that one had some actual passing and lead changes.

While I am a huge F1 fan (been to 48 GPs) if you want to see real racing I suggest Formula 2 and MotoGP. If you want to see real racing in F1 for the last few years you have to look at the midpack. This year could have an incredible contest for the WCC and WDC if you just took Mercedes out of the mix.

Fingers crossed the new regs next year produce more epic battles like in the past.

If you want to see races where no one passes for the lead, watch F1. There have been F1 races in the past where there were literally ZERO passes for ANY position on the track. Those cars are amazing, but too often the race is over after the first corner.

If you like wrecks and hard racing, give rallycross a try.

600 HP
0-60 in 1.9 seconds
Tracks are a mix of pavement and dirt or gravel
Race doesn't stop due to rain
"Joker lap" is an alternate section of the track that must be taken once and only once during each race. It's up to the driver to decide when to take it.
Races are short, no pit stops, no caution flags.

I've seen people finish races on 3 or even 2 wheels after their axles were broken.

I usually find F1 very boring. It's mostly just hot lapping at the front no one ever passes. If it weren't for the 5 second penalties today it would have been more of the same. I do admit I enjoyed the McLaren turning the fastest lap at the end to get the P3.

I much rather watch IndyCar road races than F1. Don't care that they aren't the top tier. The races are fun to watch with passing at the front.
