        Do you think NASCAR drivers aren’t thinking? I mean really, this is like saying football is pointless because the field is rectangular and each team is always going towards the opposite team’s side to score points.

        Because the course is boring and the cars are the same, it’s 100% a question of skill and teamwork. Who can outplay whom?

        Anyhow I don’t especially like watching it, not a motorsports guy in general, but this criticism is not terribly good IMO.

        The course is not the point, it’s a question of how on earth you edge out an advantage against 36+ other drivers in virtually identical cars who are also trying to out plan and out drive you.

        I’m not even a NASCAR fan, but this criticism is dumb, sorry.
