motorsport racing is much safer than most people realize.. the cars are all checked to ensure they meet all the required safety rules.. sit back and enjoy the race.. it is very addictive.. you may find yourself behind the wheel someday

I think it works prettw well, however I think drivers and owners should be rewarded for qualifying also.  So I think the pole position should be worth 20 points 2nd 15, 3rd 8, 4th 7, 5th 6, 6th 5, 7th 4, 8th 3, 9th 2, 10th 1.  Then you'll see some really good crew chiefs.  No sandbaggers.

I like it.  It will bring more sponsor dollars, so there will be more quality teams running.  I think they'll have a rough go of it at first, but long term they'll succeed.  I'll admit I'm having a little trouble getting used to the idea of a Camry as a race car...

Formula 1 (Michael Schumacher etc.)\n\nEach Grand Prix is done over a race weekend, this year you can use however many sets of tyres you like, but one engine has to last you two weekends.  Penaltys are given for any blown engines etc.\n\nFriday is Practise\nSaturday is Qualifying\nSunday is the Race\n\nIn practise the cars can do as many laps as they like, with whatever fuel or tyres they like to get used to the track etc.\n\nQualifying rules seem to change each year, basically there is a time window on the Saturday for the cars to go out and put in the fastest lap they can.  The faster the lap the higher up the grid they go, ideally getting first place(Pole Position). \n\nOn the Sunday, after the warm-up lap (to get tyres and engines up to temperature) the race starts after all the red lights have lit up and gone out (there is no flag to start the race).  Cars can pit whenever they like, for tyres, fuel etc. The race is over when the total number of laps are completed by the lead car, this when the chequered flag is waved.\n\nRed flags on the track means stop the race (major accident)\nYellow flags mean caution / slow down (minor accident)\nBlack flags mean disqualification\nBlue flags mean a car that is lapping you needs to overtake.\n\nThis is basically it, but someone else can correct or add to this.

your right about 'RR'.all those tyres are used by the team before the race and are slightly worn or beded in.on an oval NASCAR track,each tyre will wear differently so they are all marked as a set.FR=front right.FL=front left.RR=rear right.RL=rear left.hope this helps!!

It is not necessary, but if you are afraid of losing your car your most likely not good enough to be racing in the first place.

The cars go round and round, it's the the turn left circuit. There are a couple road tracks on the schedule like the infamous Watkins Glen where they turn left and make some rights. They occaasionally stop in the pits for new tires, gas and some repairs. They have 'yellow' 'caution flag' which comes out when there is an accident or if there is debris on the track or both or if some streaker loses their mind and drink too much and head for the track then a caution comes out. Haven't seen that yet though. 'Black flag', a lap down penalty to a car if he goes down below the shoulder or bumps somebody off the track intentionally or a whole host of other infractions. The 'green' flag means 'go'. Alright kids. The 'Black and white' 'Checkered flag' means finish line and winner. 'White flag' means 1 lap left. 'Pink' flag means this race is gay. 'Blue' flag means 'Harold&Kumar go to White Castle' I watched some of that movie tonight.

You still get points for a DNF, so it would depend on where those drivers finished for points as to who won the Cup. And yes, before this past weekend's race, Tony Stewart would have been the points leader if he had made the Chase. It might even still be the case.

Well, I don't think it's meant to be a rival for F1. It's an off-season thing to keep race fans amused until F1 starts again in the spring. That being said, I am very much interested. I think NASCAR's success has made the A1-GP's promoters realize that many fans are interested in seeing drivers compete on an even playing field.

Qualifying is used to determine the starting order of the race. 43 cars start the race. The top 35 teams according to car owner's points are guarunteed a starting spot. The 7 fastest cars not in the top 35 get spots 36-42 and the last spot goes to a former Cup champion if they are not in the top 42. The pole winner earns a spot in the Busch Clash at Daytona the following year. If any car requires major work after qualifying (motor change, new tires, etc.), they retain their qualifying spot in the books, but have to drop to the back of the field at the start of the race. In the old days, qualifying at the major tracks used to be a 4-day affair with spots 1-15 on Wed., 16-25 Thurs., 26-35 Fri. and a qualifying race on Sat. for 36-44. The dirt track races on Wed. would qualify at 5 and race at 7-7:30.

I get into the garage areas of the ARCA races and Busch races beause of the company I work with sponsors a car so we ge the garage passes.\n Some tracks have a pre-race garage pass so you can go up and down pit road and sometimes get to see a driver or 2.

WATKINS GLEN, INFINEON, and POCONO are the only NASCAR tracks that I can think of where gear changes are an issue.  Of course, I'm not counting coming out of and going into pit road.  POCONO is the weirdo of this group.  The other two are actual road courses; Pocono bills itself as a tri-oval.  Tri-angle is more like it.  If you look at the layout of the track using the link I provided, you'll see that the turns are pretty sharp by "tri-oval" standards. Turn 1 is almost a hairpin, turn 2 doesn't give you much relief, and turn 3 is brutally sharp after coming off 2 at a good speed.
