I've heard this as well. But #1 in terms of what? Attendance? TV deals and ratings? Nobody's coming close the NFL's $3.7 billion deal, I'm pretty sure of that. While NASCAR has over 100,000 people in the seats in just about every race, there are way more NFL games all together. I'd be interested to see how it breaks down proportionately.
I love what Bill Maher said about NASCAR -- you can't convince me that people don't watch NASCAR in hopes of witnessing a devastating multi-car crash. Otherwise, you're just watching traffic.
