One is I like road racing more and there is more of it being shown on TV. Two is so many of the NASCAR races are just high speed parades and the only way to pass is wreck someone or manage to get out ahead of them from the pits. I am all for safety but the Le Mans series and other road races also have great safety and for the most part they don't take nearly as long to respond to an accident as NASCAR safety crews do. And the 1/4th of every race being ran under a yellow flag is another of my pet gripes. Half of those are to keep their stars from being lapped.
