NASCAR

I've never watched NASCAR, I usually change channels SportsCenter does highlights from races, but I do have some questions for NASCAR (and other racing leagues) fans. i don't get the draw of watching cars go in circles. But you can't deny that it is everywhere. Big race on the tube yesterday, ans when I flipped on the radio last night they had a whole segment for NASCAR.

How do you choose which racer to root for. Unlike most sports (I'm not saying racing is a sport) there is no geographical loyalty to a team. Is it a bandwagon thing? Whoever is winning at the time you start following the race is the guy you root for?

When there is no race on do you go watch people drive on the highway? Go to a live highway web cam?
