There's just something about a week of hype over a two minute race that I can't get excited about. Maybe, like you said, if I ever went to a race to experience the feel I would have a different opinion.

Also, NASCAR races have been known to have over 200,000 fans at a single race. If I'm not mistaken, Texas Motor Speedway seats over 200,000 every year, as does Talledega.
