It's nothing more than a group of cars going around for hundreds of laps in a circle doing nothing more than one big left turn. It's sad when the most entertaining thing about it are the crashes or the pit crews which are not even part of the race. I was at Arby's one day and they had that shit on the radio. That was nothing more than the guy saying what position a driver was in and what car they are driving.  Every so often he went from saying the drivers name and the vehicle to the vehicle being driving by whoever to keep it from getting repetitive which it is. I think listing to it is even more boring than watching it.

Some people enjoy it.

same reason any motor sport is enjoyable, but it's easier to spectate because the whole track is visible, its more aggressive than most racing events, and the crashes

the fact that the track is an oval doesn't really make it less enjoyable, in fact the oval shape allows the cars to be seen from any seat so you can watch the cars pass each other and maneuver, allowing you to get a feel for the race

did i mention crashes and shit

 The beer and watching idiots in their truest form. Oh and the wrecks.

It's more entertaining than F1, but that's not saying much

The crashes, the speed, the environment.

I don't LOVE nascar. But I'll watch it on a lazy Sunday afternoon when no other sports are on. Nothing bad about it.
