Do you think NASCAR is boring, or not?

NASCAR has about the same "appeal" in Europe as F1 does here in the USA.
So, by your logic, I guess F1 is not a worldwide
phenomenon then...so its not important....right?  Just want to make sure
your logic is broad-based and unbiased?

Can you imagine how expensive it would be to transport all those race
cars all over the world once each week?  And how about backup cars
delivered to the track on a momment's notice. Can't be done overseas.

If Nascar was worldwide:

1) The French would give up before the end of the first practice
session.

2) The germans would just take someone else's car (probably from the
French), and then burn their shop manuals.

3) The Polish team wouldn't be able to find their way out of the
garage area, and would consider asking the French for help.

4) The Mexican team wouldn't have a pitcrew because they all defected
to the American team, and demanded equal pay, hospitalization, and an
education for their alien offspring

5) The Canadians would race, but they'd talk dirty about everyone
behind their backs, especially the Americans, because the Canucks
don't have any automotive industry of their own to speak of, and they
feel that the Yanks are forcing them to use their cars, and probably
de-tuned on top of it all.

6) The Iraqi's would deny having anyone entered in the race to begin
with.

8) The Palestinians would seem to go through an awful lot of cars
during each race weekend because they think they're building car
bombs.

9) The Israelies will always be twitchy about the Palestinians having
being in the adjacent garage stall, and would keep bulldozing the
palestinians hauler and mobile home.

10) Jesse Jackson's team would demand equal time, but can only get
his drivers to perform reasonably well if he tells them to "drive it
like they stole it". The pitcrew would also take pitstops to an
extreme by stealing their driver's car (or parts) and sell them to
other teams through an obvious fencing operation.

11) The British would complain that steering wheel is on the wrong
damn side.

12) The Spanish would be trying to - wait, are the Spanish still
around?

13) The Cubans would not be invited.

14) The Chinese woud be invited, but they would be quarantined to the
back strech, and they'd have food and stuff thrown over the  fence so
they wouldn't infect the rest of the competitors with SARS (Sneaky
Asian Resperitory Sickness).

15) The north Koreans were disqualified because they showed up with a
new nuclear-powered car they've developed - in secret.

16) Lichtenstein would be invited to compete, but they only have six
citizens, counting the king, and he would rather ride horses, so that
makes five.  That's not enough people for a respectable Nascar team.

17) The Japanese would insist on being allowed to run their latest
*** 104 valve, titanium/carbon fiber engine that revs to a
gazillion RPM, and only weighs three ounces.  Nascar would let the
partts go until the end of the race, and then confiscate the car but
not award any penalty points.
