I'm not 100% in agreement that they are risking there lifes for our entertainment, I know very few drivers or riders that are in it for our entertainment. Its just a by product of what they love to do. Not once have I or anyone that I know has woke up on race morning thinking man I need to entertain. The stress I don't even consider. He's a racer not mandated to race, any stress they feel comes from it being a job not being a race. The stress comes when you feel like you have to perform better not entertain better.
I get your point about their motivation is more because they like racing than they want to entertain, but they're risking their lives when they race, we watch for entertainment, I don't expect anything more.
