To make a parallel NASCAR is like American football. Because of the cautions there is not as much speed time. But when it is hot it is on fire. F1 is entertaining as a TV event but it lacks that WOW impact.F1 is like Euro football a lot of running around but only a few great moments.

As for drivers. The NASCAR drivers must deal with rubbing, drafting, going three wide into turns (at selected tracks), and while going at a breakneck speed.

Like I said--watching cars go around a track at 50 miles an hour is not my idea of exciting racing. What, in a typical NASCAR race, you get maybe 10 laps of "racing" at a time? Maybe?

Rubbing is your pitch for NASCAR? Banging the hell out of another driver until you put him into a wall? That's not racing.

I used to be a NASCAR fan years ago when it was actually Southern good ol' boys who built cars from "stock" in their garage and took them out to the track and raced them. But I've been driven away the past ten years or so as the sport has become more commercialized. And frankly I haven't watched as much F1 as I used to--most of the good drivers that really made it exciting have either retired or moved to uncompetitive teams.

But to say that NASCAR has superior drivers than F1? Uh, no...
