There are factors in every kind of racing that are unique to that sport which require special talent and skills that in order to be able to compete on every level. Although different from F1 or other forms of racing NASCAR is no less challenging than the rest. I would love to see some of the so called "Left turn, another left turn" people attempt to drive anywhere near those speeds and survive let alone be competitive. Try it, and then tell others how boring it is.

Anyway a lot has changed with racing at Daytona over the last year with a completely new asfault serface, and the fact that runing those car trains does not work anymore. Knowing that the only way to be competitive is to pair up with another driver for the entire race is truly unique and extremely difficult to maintain for just a few laps, let alone for 4 to 5 hours. Not sure whether that is a plus or a negative yet. It certanly made the race interesting for me. Having Danica Patrick racing the Nationwide series is also a nice change. I hope to see more women in these events in the coming years, which to me will also make things a bit more interesting much like Ashley Force racing funny cars.

It's all a matter of perspective. If you like it, then good for you. If you don't care for it, then maybe you just don't understand it or know enough about it in order to stay focused on it. Our two boys were taught the same crap by their former step-father, but now that I have taken the time to educate them on exactly what was required in order for these guys to be competitive in NASCAR they are now watching it with us. To each his own.
