The only part of the entire Series that interests me is the Engine Tech. These guys are at the top of the Food Chain in the pushrod V8 crowd. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in one of the engine assembly rooms. Anyone that can spin a 358" V8 to 9500 RPM and make it live has got my attention, there are no others that have a pushrod V8 dialed in like these guys. If you follow the sampling of the tech information that dribbles into magazines such as Circle Track you can apply it to our engines to a lesser degree. Light parts, new superior materials, parts design and trends are all discussed to some degree.
The rest of the show is to me a bunch of Hype, much like Sensationalized Jounalism or newscasting, for increased ratings and viewership. I'd rather watch the old Can Am Clips on You Tube!
Maybe Vince McMahon and Rick Hendricks willl join forces????
