Well F-1 is surely unique and the drivers have to have a great deal of skill due to the open wheel racing. It is hard to get through a race because if you just touch another vehicle the day is overwith. In NASCAR there is alot more give to the vehicles when it comes to bumpin and grinding. Who wants to put a car on the track worth 1 million $$$$$$$ and have it trashed in 1 second with no chance to recover? The F-1 vehicle is so precise that if you get one scratch on it your done for. The cars are truly a work of art just like a funny car or rail dragster, but not very good for head to head racing.
I am not a fan of the NASCAE short tracks, but racing on the 2 to 2 1/2 mile circuits is pretty intense. When you can run flat out with your foot to the foor at 220 MPH and keep cruising even through the turns that is just way cool. If you have ever driven a vehicle on Daytona, or the Lowes Motor Speedway in Charlotte you will see how cool that can be. If you go to a NASCAR race you can watch the race from anywhere in the track. If you go to an F-1 race there is no place to watch the entire race except from the easy chair watching your TV. I've been to both and frankly watching F-1 is frankly a real let down. Goin to a NASCAR race is so much more fun.
