They exist on the fact that there is a fair number of the population that are total morons who will watch anything that moves.

NASCAR = watching a shiny car turn left.

Husband watches NASCAR.  In the beginning of our marriage he thought he was going to make me a fan.  He wanted me to sit and watch it with him.  I couldn't sit in the same room and read a book...I was supposed to watch it.  Over time I worked my way out of that by making snarky remarks about going fast and turning left and also about the inevitable caution that would come out toward the end so they could line up again thereby giving the current favorite more of a chance to win.  

Then I pointed out that stock car racing started out with the moonshiners running shine and outrunning the police I asked why they have to stop the damn race if it rained.  Shiners certainly didn't wait for perfect weather.  I was then dismissed from the mind-numbing experience of watching NASCAR.
