As all NASCAR races are from a rolling start, launch controls are not necessary. Personally, I think launch controls take away a huge part of racing which is the drivers themselves.

No quick starts - lighten up on the accelerator.\nMaintain the recommended tire inflation for your car\nDon't exceed the speed limit. I do alot of highway driving-I use my cruise control on 65 mph and get good gas mileage.\nDon't let your car idle for long periods of time.\nUse the lowest octane gas that doesn't make your car's engine "knock".\nKeep your car's engine tuned up.  Replace spark plugs if necessary.  \nIf your car has fuel injection, occasionally put a bottle of fuel injector cleaner in a full tank of gas. (I do this on long car trips)\nThere are probably more tips!

Ok I am a huge NASCAR fan and the point system is kind of confusing. But I am sure you can understand.The winner of each Nextel Cup race receives 180 points. The runner-up scores 170. From there, the point total declines in five-point increments for Nos. 2-6; points drop four points per driver for Nos. 7-11; and three-point increments separate drivers' points for finishers 12th place and lower.\n\nIn addition to the points allocated, any driver who leads a lap receives five bonus points. The driver who leads the most laps receives an additional five bonus points.\nIn Nextel Cup racing, following the 26th race of the season, all drivers in the top 10 -- and any others within 400 points of the leader -- earn a berth in the Chase for the Nextel Cup.\n\nAll drivers in the Chase will have their point totals adjusted. The first-place driver in the standings begins the Chase with 5,050 points; the second-place driver will start with 5,045, etc. Incremental five-point drops will continue through 10th place (5,005 points).\n\nIf more than 10 drivers qualify for the Chase, the additional drivers will have their points reset at 5,005.\n\n• Owners are rewarded in the points race in much the same fashion but, unlike drivers, they earn points for merely attempting to make a race. If an owner shows up with two drivers and one fails to qualify, the owner still receives points for the non-qualifying effort.\n\nThrough the first five races of the season, the top 35 in owners' points from the previous season are guaranteed a starting spot in the race. Beginning with the sixth race, the top 35 in current owners' points are guaranteed a spot.\n\nThe fastest non-qualifier on race day earns 31 points for his owner, three down from the 43rd-place points. The scale continues downward for all non-qualifiers, with the lowest possible point awarded being one.\n\n• Manufacturers have a points race of their own. The car maker who has a driver take first place in a race earns nine points for that race. Second-best performance by a manufacturer gets six points, third place earns four points and fourth place, three points\nRace Points System \nFinish Points   Finish Points

Hi xon\n\nIf you are looking specifically for Nascar, then I'd suggest start by calling the manufactuerer of the particular vehicle. They may at least give you some advice.\n\nIf you are looking for something such as the Batmobile or other vehicles then the link below may help. I'm not sure that they rent these, one of my business associates informed me that they did. Just not sure myself.\n\nJerry\nHttp://www.usedcarwise.com

LUV NASCAR. I can't believe nobody said "its just a bunch of cars driving in a circle" yet. As many times as this question has been asked on here, there has always been at least one answer like that...

Top speed on a NASCAR car is just a touch higher, 205 versus 190.  But, because of light weight and aerodynamic downforce pressing down the car to the track, the F1 car can corner, accelerate, and stop much, much faster.  Cornering iis more than twice as fast.  If a NASCAR car can do a corner at 75, the F1 car can do it at more than 150. Braking is also extraordinary.  An F1 driver once said that letting off the gas is like hitting the brakes in a normal car, and that hitting the brakes is like having an accident.\n\nThey're so different that it's difficult to say which is harder.  F1 cars race mostly against the track, NASCAR cars race mostly against other drivers.  It's very difficult for a top driver in one to go over to the other and be a top driver there, also.

the try to skirt around the grey areas in the NASCAR rulebook to give their driver an advantage i.e. bigger fuel lines that will hold more so they will have that extra little bit of gas, having smaller drivers strap metal to their bodies so when they weigh the driver and car it meets the minium weight and then take it off for race day so there car is lighter and faster and the glass is to give them an aerodynamic advantage for the draft and better sticking ability or downforce for turns.

That's one of the toughest gigs to land in all of racing but if you're serious you need to start at the bottom.  That would be Go-Cart racing...yes, I am serious!  They have its of classes and it's here most get their start in open wheel racing.  \n\nIF you're good and the right eyes spy you then you MIGHT get invited to test for one of the open wheel teams that run in various 'feeder' series such as the Mazda Star Series.  Better win some races and probably a championship because the next stop (if you're REALLY lucky) is IRL or CART.  Lots of guys race their entire careers there and never even get the privilege to talk to even a back running F1 team so you might consider selling your soul at this point if success is really that important.  \n\nOK, I guess your fingers still dripping where you signed in blood so I'll give you the last and probably harshest bit of news.  Even if you get to F1 it's most likely you'll start for one of the small teams, you know, the ones whose names you likely don't even know like Menardi or Saulver.  Yup, even F1 has it's feeder teams and it's here you must shine your brightest all the while driving equipment which is, well, not substandard but old, the cast offs and outdated equipment from teams like McClairen, Williams and Big Red. Expect a lot of heartache as you'll know that in each and every race you have an almost infinitesimal chance of even finishing in the points and absolutly zero of winning.  \n\nOh, I almost forgot the most important part...MONEY!  Most of the smaller teams where you get your start require a driver buy in, or in other words big bucks for the chance to get behind the wheel and the last I heard it was about a cool $1,000,000 to get a seat at even the lowest level.  Why do you think it's only rich Europeans behind the wheels?  Old family money for spoiled rich kids to 'compete' for the families honor. \n \nSorry to be the bearer of bad news but facts are facts and I certainly don't make the rules.  My best advice to you if you TRUELY want to be a race car driver is to start in Go-Carts or entry levels of any of the dirt racing series and make a name for yourself.  Even if you don't get to the top you'll have a blast and make memories which will last a life time. So here's to living the dream. Best of luck to you, and I really mean it.

Ryan Newman\nJoe Nemachek\nDave Blaney\nKevin Lepage\n\nThey have all had chances to prove themselves on different teams. Newman can run....as long as no one else is on the track.\nAs for Petty and Green ....they both have underfunded or one car teams.\nAnd if your other responder would even watch NASCAR he would know that there are 2 road courses on the schedule each year.

Nascar drafting is where you get two, usually more cars together in a train.  The first car pushes through the air, the second car gets in behind and can go faster than normal, and can actually push the first car.  The train of cars can actually go around the track so fast, so that anyone not in this train will almost look like they are going backward.  They like to use it at the big tracks that limit engine power.  So you get alot of cars set up with little downforce, all going together, pushing their limits and each other, with little air around them.  There can be major crashes of 20-30 cars at once, if just one car loses or gets pushed out of control.  That's Nascar drafting.  Kinda like coming home on the freeway.
