Not much aside from pure ignorance bothers me. Asking for credentials is a pretty common question, and outside of work related, not sure I have any. Any I might have I don't wear as a badge, so I probably didn't answer you.

I used to love the drags. Bet I burnt more gas at Lions as a kid than I did on the streets. Every weekend in the late 60s and the entire 70s I was at Lions, Irwindale or OCIR. But I bet I saw Larry Dixon SR make more passes than seen Jr make. Still enjoy going every couple of years to the Winternations, but I don't follow it any more. Still an incredible sight to see though.
But there is only so much time and money, and my interests moved on. I don't really follow Nascar as close as I did, must still try to keep up with it.
