This is especially true in the last few laps of the race.

Yes but does that make you want to watch the first 400 laps of the race?

Not too many people get killed while golfing or at the bowling alley. Takes a tremendous amount of courage to be a racer, not to mention skill and conditioning.

Why does risking your life make it a sport... if that was the only part that people enjoy, why not watch a guy play russian roulette? at least there is more of a risk then?
