Whats the fun in watching cars go in circles 500 times? Can any NASCAR enthusiasts explain this to me?
Now Formula 1 racing is much more interesting in my opinion....

I grew up with uncles that were dirt track drivers. It's the manuevering, pit stop strategy, speed and daring. NASCAR often has exciting finishes.
Formula One bores the daylights out of me.
Exciting finishes is because after 500 laps no one can get an advantage - why not have 100 laps and the finishes would still be as exciting.
