I just started watching NASCAR during the COVID lockdown. It's really fun to watch actually. Cars going nearly 200 mph within inches of each other, the little bumps accidental or otherwise, the pitstops and the consistency required. So far i've seen about 5 races. Daytona up next. My father used to watch it when i was a kid as a diehard Ford fan.
I'm quite a newbie but that's fine. I just learned about how the whole system works with weekly races and then the playoffs. I also did a bit of historical research and was surprised to discover that this whole sport came out of bootleggers racing each other for fun during the prohibition era.
