I don't really watch for the accidents, and I don't like accidents that cause lasting physical harm, but everyone on the track accepted the risks when they got on the track. (In fact, they signed waivers to get on said track.)
So, I don't have any moral qualms about enjoying the wrecks. In fact, I look forward to them as a part of the excitement. Wrecks are a part of racing.
These people trash millions of dollars worth of fine machinery, just for my amusement. Watching this brings me many smiles and chuckles - doubly so when it's caused by a stupid mistake and I can point out the driver's error.

I haven't crashed much, but whenever I'm squirreling around I have a soft target within reach. It's come in handy twice.

My first time in the car at Skip Barber, right into the wall on turn one. Meh... It wasn't my car and I had a roll cage.

I've never had the opportunity to crash someone else's car. That sounds nice.
