I'm not even going to touch the whole thing about Americans and not being smart, but NASCAR is more than just turning left. First, it takes a lot of concentration and skill to make a 3800lb car go almost 200mph around a track for 500 miles. Watch the Dodge/Save Mart 350 this Sunday and you'll see stock cars turning left and right. Also NASCAR racers, unlike most of todays F1 drivers, compete in other racing series. Tony Stewart races sprint cars and midgets i think and Jeff Gordon regularly wins rally car races (not WRC of course, but rallies none the less)
