Better in terms of... what exactly?
If it's speed, technology, strategy, driver skill or any number of other metrics then it's pretty clearly F1. I'm not saying NASCAR drivers are unskilled or anything, quite the contrary. I just don't think they, or their cars, are on anything like the level you see in F1.
I strongly suspect (unless you've got the money to watch from a yacht in Monaco or something) that NASCAR is probably the better live sporting experience though. I've never actually been to a NASCAR race, but I've been to the track for the Australian F1 GP a few times and it's pretty rubbish to watch live. You can invariably only see one small section of the track, so chances are if something cool happens it won't be where you can see it. It's a sport where splits and strategy and having the full picture matter a lot to your enjoyment of the race, and that's tough to keep up with live too. And in recent years the cars don't even sound as cool any more.

There can only be one clear winner here. Formula one is the pinnacle of motorsport, it has the speed and the drivers. The old tracks of Silverstone, Monza and Spa are also the best in the world (Monaco is a dull race circuit).
That said, from a live viewing perspective I can see why people might find NASCAR more enjoyable.

Thanks to RTL i have watched several races over the years but i still dont understand why they've to show so many commercials(specially during the sunday's race) and their need to automatically translate every non-german conversation etc 🙄
Here in Brazil little is said or shown about Nascar, but I confess that some races I saw on cable TV I found very cool.
But having more contact with F1 ends up making it more pleasing to the eye on the TV.
I would love to know more about NASCAR and experience up close to get a better opinion.

I respect F1 because of the speed and strategy it takes. It’s an unbelievable Motorsport.
For entertainment value though, NASCAR all day for me.
There are more passes/battles for me to stay interested for long periods of time in NASCAR.
(Not knocking either I believe both are great, I just find the Ovals more entertaining.)
