LOL.The only boring thing(Like Indy and C.A.R.T.)is that they make circles in a circle circuit for over 2-3 hours and 200 or more rounds.

WHat??? Indy and Cart are really exciting, there is more of a copetitiveness in those 2 when compared to F1 but F1 is still better then both

It's not boring if you make a half decent attempt to pay attention to what's going on. The first step is to pick your favorite car or driver. Next you watch qualifying and practice speeds so you know if they've got the car hooked up and setup properly in qualifying trim and then in race trim. Watch the race and see how your driver makes out on the track and in the pits, much like any other racing series. If you know that your driver is aggressive, watch to see who they rub out of the race or if they spin themselves out of the race. If your driver is patient, watch for a late move at the end of the race to go for the checker flag. Don't worry, they also do two or three road races a season for you guys that don't like the ovals. I often wonder how going in an oval at 195 mph can be boring for you guys? Give it time, it'll grow on you and pretty soon, your Sunday's are never going to be the same.

Get to know your drivers also, for example, your DuPont (not Du Point) car is #24 and the driver is Jeff Gordon who is best known for his champion wins and more currently for getting divorced by his ex Miss Winston wife Brook for messing around with Matt Kenseth's crew members wife. Just to let you know that Texaco isn't and hasn't sponsored a car for a while, so I'm not sure if your up to date on your cars. Head to nascar.com for all the information that you need. Just remember, Feb 15 is Daytona 500, the grand papy of all races.
