What's wrong with auto racing in the US of A?

Motokid said:
America loves automobiles. America loves speed, flash, and excitement. ..Is it just that racing does not translate well to television, or is television doing something really wrong?
Does F1 have fiery car crashes? Maybe if they raced monster trucks...
 
It's probably a lot of little things, Motokid. Taste is one factor. I mean when people would rather watch poker then hockey, then....

Anyway, the only races I watch on TV are motorcycle races. I think it has a lot to do with the lack of perception of speed when you watch the races on TV. Once that perception is gone, the excitment that comes with speed and danger is gone and it becomes a sport of tactics like baseball.
