Yes, have been a fan long before the new television deals. Back then you were lucky if you could see it on TV every week. As some said, we are now forced to listen to "so-called" racing experts. I liked Ned Jarrett as a broadcaster some years back. Everything today hype.

But, the racing is totally competetive. Formula 1 and IRL or CART don't come close in terms of fender-banging close racing.

Although I will say road courses seem more fun to do yourself. I really enjoyed track time in formula cars at Sears Point.
