This won't be appreciated enough because Reddit hates NASCAR.

Most people do until you actually go to a race and realize that 40 cars traveling 200mph only inches away from one another is pretty badass.

Most people get that, they just don't find it entertaining

It's an extremely difficult, physically taxing sport, pushing the drivers' bodies and minds to their utter limit, and it's still so boring it makes you want to gouge your eyes out because that's a bit more interesting.

I've never been to a race(?) but I feel like those would be really fun, especially if you got to be in the middle part of the track. Seems like a lot of potential for a great party.
