Perhaps if I was to attend a NASCAR race in person I would get into it more. I've never been to one.
I agree if you go to the race in person, it is an entirely different experience -- and personally, I'd recommend a short track (Richmond, Bristol, or Martinsville) are my favorites.

As for watching on TV, I subscribe to the Trackpass services which provide near real time timing & scoring as well as the ability to listen to the drivers & crew -- for me it makes TV viewing much more interesting.
