I used to hate on NASCAR as well, until I went to my first Daytona 500. You really don't understand what those drivers do until you see it in person.. countless current 'fans' I know feel the same way. My awakening came in 1982 and i've been a racing fanatic ever since (not just nascar).
I'm a big racing fan in general, IMSA, F1, Indycar.. you name it.. but far and away the most exciting is NASCAR mainly because there is actually on track action and competition is pretty equal. While other series are more 'finesse' racing, they also tend to be very boring and uneventful.. like in F1, odds are the polesitter for a race will not be challenged and they will win., unlike NASCAR where the lead is contested from start to finish. It's definitely more brute force racing, but it's so much more entertaining.
Like I said, having seen many forms of racing in person, nothing impresses it on you quite like seeing a pack of 40 cars doing 200mph nose to tail in person. Try it before you put it down. Be a fan of all racing, and don't judge it too hastily.
