6. NASCAR races more miles by an order of magnitude, 36 times a year.

Dozens of lead changes in every race. Hell, when a F1 race has five lead changes, I get so excited I've been known to piss myself.

Why can't a driver come from the 25th on the grid and win an F1 race? Because F1 doesn't have 25 cars in the series... In NASCAR a driver can come from 43rd place and win, and it DOES happen.

Bump drafting... trading paint at 200 mph... 3 wide racing into the turns... In F1 the drivers are scared shitless of each other, and it shows.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE F1. But then, I love all forms of motorsports. Even monster trucks.
