I didn't think either of them should have gotten a waiver. I don't think snowboarding injuries should get you a waiver as well. Injuries on track causing you to miss a race is the only reason I feel you should get a waiver for.
I'm going to watch it wherever it is, but I certainly would rather it not be at LA coliseum or bowman Gray. Cup cars have no business being on a track that is less than a half mile. My local track is a quarter mile and I love it but I would not want to watch cup cars there.
The illegal streams aren't technically illegal, more of a grey area. I have no issues using them when my team is playing on Apple tv. I already pay to watch them on their RSN why should I have to pay more?
