Wow great post. I just stumbled onto it and it's too late to upmod.
Nice balanced overview. I dislike the people who love to argue this or that is "better"- at least in entertainment. I have a serious car nut friend who pretty much only watches F1. He's always saying how much F1 cars are faster than Indy. Sure, if car's power and speed is your thing, that's great, but people shouldn't knock Indy or NASCAR because they don't understand those types of races and the challenges and driver skillset.
I watch racing here and there. I also like drag racing, and if I had more time and $ I might actually race. There is _nothing_ like watching / hearing (please protect your ears!) a top fuel / funny car (nitromethane fuel) race in person. Really any ICE car race in person is pretty exciting. I've only been to a few races live. I couldn't believe how loud NASCAR was in person. Same for Indy cars, but it was a hilly road course so it was bursts of loud when the cars went by.
I'm not a big fan of restrictor-plate racing. I watch some races and I fully understand the reasons for it, but it seems like other safety measures would be better, and let the drivers have some power back for passing and maneuvering. I admit I haven't given it enough thought to have any suggestions.
