So many people are quick to make fun of something they simply don't understand. I for one don't understand or watch baseball, but many people love baseball for different reasons. Either they grew up watching baseball and they enjoy it because their father got them interested in it from a young age, or they became interested in it later on in life because they had some sort of investment in it, like having a child that played the game. Once they have some sort of interest, then it grows from there into watching it on TV, going to professional games etc. This same concept applies with NASCAR, dirt, or any form of circle or oval track racing, except there are way less people in the world who speak about it positively and help to remove the stigma that surrounds it. So many people never give it a chance, they simply try to dumb it down by saying that it's just a bunch of people driving it circles. If a hater was given the opportunity to fully understand and appreciate it for what it is, and see it from the perspective of someone who enjoys it, then maybe they would at least partially get it.

I used to understand it! What I don't understand is Cars that don't have any relevance to a street car, competition yellows, Lucky Dog, segmented races, Green White Checker, silly points system, the Chase, scripted qualifying & races.
Not a hater, I have respect for racers that can go at it at 200 mph. But it puts me to sleep (great if I want to take a Nap) and I have to hope that I wake up with 10 laps to go
