I'm not going to flame you. I'm just going to tell you that you're wrong.
Take this past week's race at Atlanta for example. 5 cars racing at the end of
500 miles for the win. When did that last happen in F1?
And cautions every 5 minutes? There were more during the F1 race than at most
Talldega and Daytona WC runs. Again, bias.

NASCAR is an American form of motorsports, just like how our "football" is
pretty much exclusive to the US (ignore the Canadians and NFL Europe, you know
they don't care).
