I enjoy Nascar because of the constantly changing strategy. Watching some of the long tracks can be like watching paint dry but in the end there is almost alway an exciting finish. I use to enjoy IRL and F1 but there is so little passing that it bores me to tears regardless of how exciting the track is.

The new car simply adds more strategy to the racing hence why I like it more than the old car. The old car was getting to the point that whoever had the most money could tune it better than everyone else and win. Kind of like Ferrari and F1...

I wish we they would put more road courses in Nascar and at the same time improve the car to bridge a little bit of the technology gap.

I like the entertainment. I pretty much only like Daytona, Talladega, etc where it looks more like an airplane race than a sprint around a bullring.
I hate these new cars. Somehow they look like bumpercars at the carny.

I figured out how to watch the Indy 500 on the cheap. Put karaoke mike over a jar of No-See-Ems and close yur eyes...

I guess I never assumed that NASCAR was racing, just entertainment kind of like wrestling as they change the rules to control the possible outcomes. Dont they also own the ALMS LeMans series?

No. ALMS is run by "IMSA". GrandAm is controlled by Nascar. Hence all the NASCAR stars that turn out for the 24hr race at Daytona.
