I agree that F1 budgets are out of control, luckily some it finds it's way into my pockets so I can't complain too loudly! I went to the Daytona 500 a couple of years ago (my only NASCAR experience) and it was certainly entertaining, but not my cup of tea really. On the US open wheel front it will be really interesting to see the IRL cars at Watkins Glen and the other road courses this year. I hope it will eventually be like CART was at it's prime.
