Yeah they do race on a hell of lot of ovals. If they only had like a couple of rounds of ovals and then raced on some proper circuits lile Laguna Seca, Montreal, Long Beach, Phoneix for the rest of the series then I think it would be a lot more exciting.

Trauma-san:
Don Jacob... it's called "Stock" car racing.  The original races and for years, the races involved just that: a stock car.  To this day, you can't race a car that can't be bought in full production... now you could race a mustang, yes, but there are length, width, heigth, weight, etc. requirements... all of the cars have to be nearly identical.  All of the engines can only be modified within certain perameters... In the 60's, that's why muscle cars (particularly the ones made by Dodge/Plymouth/Chrysler) came into existance, the manufacturers needed production cars, so Dodge made things like the Charger and the Superbee.  Tighter restrictions and stricter rules meant that eventually they settled down into what they have now, and they keep the Monte Carlo, etc. mainly for tradition more than it being the fastest car.  They can't race a corvette, for instance, because it doesn't fit the parameters of the other cars on the track, so anybody driving a chevy would have an unfair advantage.  However, if you've all got Chevy Monte Carlo's, and they all have to be the same size, and have the same perameters for engine modifications, the person that wins is going to be the best driver, not the fastest car.  The race is based around Human skill, as opposed to Mechanical skill.  Whoever has the best driver, the best crew chief, the best car techs, and the best pit crew, is going to be the one to win.

How can you watch them drive around in circles? Go to a race, you'll find out.  

Perfection:
I don't get it. And I cnnot see why anyone would want ot be a NASCAR driver because all of their races are in the south meaing that it's going to get pretty hot during the summer. And NASCAR drivers have to wear all of those layers of clothing and driver around in a circle for sometime 500 laps which can equal 4-5 hours driving in a circle.
