Not Ranked
I think the BIG reason NASCAR is popular is the competition is very close. ANYBODY can win on any given day.
Before IRL, when it was CART, you KNEW who was going to win, a Penske car, end of story. In F1 right now, you KNOW who is going to win.
IRL is doing WAY better than CART (which may fold). Sadly. Penske may be back full time in the IRL. If the rules don't compensate, he will so totally dominate, it will destroy IRL.
You MUST have some form of "real" competition. Ford vs Chevy is a classic, but the teams themselves are also a big part of the picture.
By the way, WHO are the drivers in IRL these days? LOL, so many knew young faces out there.
