Yeah, I went to the Coca-Cola 600 (Charlotte) for 5 years & found myself getting bored in the middle...it can get boring. In comparison, I went to the races at Daytona on the 4th of July (Busch race, Pepsi 400) & that's awesome racing...white-knuckle, 3-wide at 190 mph- almost never a dull moment!
As for rednecks...that's part of the fun of going! Fun to watch the drunk ones flip off their least favorite driver (9 times out of 10, Jeff Gordon) in the hope that they'll see it & let it distract them. Two people got into a verbal argument during the 400 in our section- problem was they were 50 seats apart.
Usually, I don't watch the entire race on TV, just the majority of it (except races at Daytona, Talladega, Bristol & The Winston All-Star Race). NASCAR In Car package makes it more fun, though.
I'm a total motorsports enthusiast. I've also participared in several types of motorsport myself. However, I've never developed an interest for stock car racing, at least not for paved oval track racing. Outlaws on clay oval tracks are very interesting, stock cars on road courses are interesting, but the combination stock car and roundy-round track turns me off a little. The exception would be the stock car races at the big super-tracks like Daytona and co.
Nonetheless, I think it takes skill and an amount of athletic ability to race succesfully on the NASCAR curcuit.
