Insane Concession Prices At Miami F1 Race Show Why That Pompous League Will Never Surpass NASCAR In America

Formula 1 (F1? Whatever) racing stinks. It's boring. It's follow-the-leader for a billion hours and the leader is almost always a mile ahead of everyone else. I'm pretty sure the same guy has won the past 18 races, except that guy isn't half the man Dale Earnhardt was, so it's stupid. 

NASCAR is better. It's America's Auto League. Always has been. Always will be. Facts are facts, and this is a fact. 

Now, you all knew this already. I assume 99 percent of OutKick and FOX readers watch NASCAR on Sundays, Not F1. Lord, I hope not.  

But, just in case you're a casual and trying to pick a league, let me help push you over the edge once and for all:

Don't you ever tell me F1 is better than NASCAR again

I mean, my God. Hey, F1 – piss right the hell off. We don't need you here. We don't want you. I live in DeLand, which is about 20 miles west of Daytona. Between us, sits Volusia Speedway and New Smyrna Speedway. 

And you know what? If you wanna find real Americans, head to one of those tracks on a Friday night. You'll never want to leave, and you won't have to declare for bankruptcy afterward. 

Don't wanna do that? Fine. Head to Daytona in February and August. That's where you'll feel welcome. Or Bristol. Or Martinsville. The folks at Talladega wouldn't allow this to ever happen, and I can promise you'll have more fun. 

This crap? This is nonsense. And I know – Zach, you can't compare NASCAR and F1. F1 knows people in Miami will pay these prices. 

Again – piss right off. I don't ever want to hear about Formula 1 being better than NASCAR again in this country. Ever. 

Has NASCAR gotten expensive? Sure. Same as anything else, though. But guess what? I can still slug down 25 ounce Busch Lights at Daytona for $11. And I can still dominate a footlong corn dog for $8. 

And if I really don't wanna pay a nickel to get tanked at a NASCAR race? No problem! I'll just bring my own damn cooler inside the track. There. Problem solved. Bet the holier-than-thou F1 folks would die if that happened at one of their precious races. 

Will it be as good as your fruity-tooty lobster roll for $300? I don't know. Probably not. Or your stupid bottle of wine that costs more than my house? Eh. Up for debate. 

But at least I'll have my dignity. And my American pride. And then, when the race starts, maybe I'll see some actual passes for the lead. 

Raise hell, Praise Dale! 

America is NASCAR Country, and don't you ever let anyone ever tell you anything different.

Zach grew up in Florida, lives in Florida, and will never leave Florida ... for obvious reasons. He's a reigning fantasy football league champion, knows everything there is to know about NASCAR, and once passed out (briefly!) during a lap around Daytona. He swears they were going 200 mph even though they clearly were not.
