I just can't get into NASCAR. I wish I knew why, but I just can't. In my youth I was a huge open wheel Indy car fan. The glory days of the Unser brothers, Foyt, Andretti (the REAL Andretti - Mario), Rahal, and so many more. Then they screwed it all up with the splitting up of CART and IRL, and the whole damn thing fell apart. I used to love CanAm as well, with Donohue, Hall and the rest - that went away as well.

F1 is just way too much drama and politics for me, IRL has no appeal, with these foreign drama queen drivers climbing fences when they win (reminds me of soccer players ripping off their shirts and crying when they score a goal), and the biggest star on the circuit being a woman of questionable talent who apparently got her ride more due to beauty than talent (shoehorned right into a top notch ride, with a hugely financed team - so far ZERO wins), I just can't latch on to any particular series like I used to with the old USAC / CART. Hopefully they get that straightened out one day.
