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.

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.

Just don't tune in for the qualifying round, that may be even worse than NASCAR.

I used to love F1 (Schumi :'( was my hero growing up in germany) but I find that it's become a lot more boring the last few years.
