I stopped following Nascar after they introduced the chase for the cup points race. However what was good about the series was how competitive the racing is. In a race you'll see dozens of lead car changes. As opposed to say Formula 1 where a single car can lead the entire race. Also in the last few laps of a race often the top ten or twenty cars still have a chance at winning. Something that you don't really see in a more traditional road course configuration.
