Here's what I can tell you...it's a great, great sport, filled with great driver's, great people, and amazing fans.
It's hard to really explain what it is about NASCAR that makes it so cool, but it's way more than you can imagine. There's more technology and skill than you can possibly fathom.
But if you wonder why there's so much merch, it's because the fans really belive in supporting their "driver" to the extreme. Again, it's hard to wrap your mind around until you come to a race and see why it's so fun and why people love it so much.
But I've heard the turn left joke a million times... hell I think I made it a few years ago, but that was before I knew what I was talking about.
If you want to learn something about it, I'd be happy to give you some links so you can read up on the technical side of it...but just so you know, saying that the lemans cars are "set up for this" doesn't really make sense.
Cars are set up for different tracks and different racing styles. Period.
And it's about as intelligent of a statement for me to say "No mustang could ever compete on a track with any turns, cause all they can do well is haul ass in a straight line."
