It's actually not a bad comparison. Both "sports" have larger-than-life heroes with sharply-divided fan bases, the same handful of familiar faces seem to trade wins amongst themselves, both are repetitive by nature in their execution, both have the distinct possibility that at any moment someone could screw up a maneuver and cripple themselves or their opponent, and the odds are pretty good that fans of either will get to see someone getting punched in the head by the end of the day. A strong Southern fanbase for both. Oh, and family ties -- the Earnhardts, Pettys, Andrettis and Unsers match up against the Von Erichs, Harts, Lawlers and Funks.
Samoans. That's what NASCAR needs, more Samoans.
