I am not a fan of NASCAR and would rather not watch racing at all than watch them.
But I would recommend Champ Cars (CART) as a viable alternative in the open wheel racing format - the cars are somewhat standardized too, with a limited number of chassis and engine permutations and certain limitations on how the cars can be modified. (They also run on slicks and use turbos.) This has resulted in the closest racing series and is very exciting racing to watch - and in this case the pilots are indeed accessible and friendly to everyone as time permits. There are a mixed number of road and oval courses, super speedways and street courses, and they cover countries all over the world and have a good mix of nationalities in the cars, all of whom are surpassingly good racers (well, except one or two). Anyone who loves open wheel racing the way it used to be should check Champ Cars.
