Why is auto racing so unpopular here?

Or you could just tune into the end of the race.

I used to watch Formula 1 racing when i was younger with my uncle. Compare NASCAR to that, and it is a joke. All they do is go in a symmetrical circle for ours, and they pretend that that takes as much a skill as a sport like baseball or football.

Meh, not by much...
On my entertainment scale 1-10, Indy ranks about a 2 (same as tennis and golf), NASCAR is a 1, football and basketball is an 8, soccer a 7, baseball a 5.
Based on that there is no reason for me to watch it

It used to have some personality but it is all so cookie cutter now... Same cars Same tracks everywhere
The car of Tomorrow has essentially made restricter plate racing into a Bump draft contest.....
The road courses have always been bad for live and on television
and every other track is the same mile mile and a half drudgery.......
Thats exactly how I feel about it even though I love Nascar.

and as Samantha Bee of the Daily Show said: If you're family enjoys this sport there's a good chance your ancestors were slave owners
