Daytona 500

[JERRY2KONE]

What makes NASCAR so popular is how the track is setup. Whether you like the oval or not it has one factor that keeps people coming back again and again. NASCAR tracks are setup much like a football stadium. You can seat 150K people around a NASCAR cirtuit with an average price of $35 to $50. Plus add in the executive boxes that sell for about $1K per person for a weekend. The attraction is that no matter where you sit you can see 90% to 100% of the race. This is why of all the different types of car racing NASCAR draws the biggest crouds. I have been to rally and F1 races, but you only get to watch 30% to 40% of the actual race leaving too much down time.

The repetitive roar of the engines as they circle around the track also puts my wife to sleep, because it is a constant cycle of reverberating sound.
