I too perfer a road course race buyt I like all racing...circle track, drag strip and road/street course.
In my opinion I get bored with F1 at times...seems like if you get pole position for F1 you win the race. How many F1 races were won from pole in the last oh....few years.....?....many many of them. How many NASCAR or Rolex or ALMS races are won from pole?....hardly any!

Don't be so closed minded...you could NOT do what the NASCAR guys are doing....plus if you've never been in person how can you comment like this?

Dude, You gotta be kidding, right? On rennlist? Open minds? Surely you jest...
It was the absolute best Nascar race I've ever seen, in person or on TV.

I' am very different than most on Rennlist....I watch and love NASCAR. I like all racing....I watch everything from NASCAR to F1 to FIA German Touring cars and even some NHRA. I can go to my local short track or drag strip and have a blast or to the Indy race in St.Petersburg FL and the PCA 48hrs race...they are all a blast and I enjoy them all and understand the different talents for each style.
I do not listen to 1 type of music....why should I like one type of racing?

Yeah, and last time I checked these NASCAR guys do pretty well when they show up at the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona and such...

No doubt about it. These guys are all REALLY good. It's the way NASCAR runs their races that I've had enough of. And both road races are fantasic. Driving that pig of a car around a road course really shows how good these guys are. Less Pocono, more Glen and Sonoma.

I have been to multiple F1 races and always went for 3 full days. I enjoyed all the warm up races as much as main events. I went to one NASCAR race. It was a few years ago at PIR. A friend had an RV space completed with banquet spread caterd by a friend with catering company. We got there early and had nice pre-race party. Went to our seats high in grandstands. Nice seats in fact. However we left mid race. Both me and wife were bored out of our minds. Friends were fun, but with all the noise we could not talk to anyone and once I got past the novelty of that being the same track I race on (albiet in road course configuration) and the people watching, it got very boring and we left to beat the traffic. The best part was hanging out with our friends and looking at the interesting people. I am glad we went, but have not desire to see the actual race again.

+1 - except I do like Pocono... I just wish they'd change the gear rule for that track so that they could go back to shifting during the lap. Now they just have to wind it out.
