I think it's because they run Nitrous Oxide. Nitrous Oxide is also called laughing gas.

hahahaha, it's about using "stock" cars (that's what NASCAR means!) based on sedans with certain specs.  and if it went to sports cars, i'd much rather have a ferrari, lamborghini, or bugatti than a ford or chevy.

It was created just because larry was a common name and various well known people had that name or nickname. people always see famous people as kind of happy. It just kind of progressed into a saying. there was no one specific Larry. Hope this answer helps.

My bottom shaped car is a work of art! Any car (be it pink with a penis shaped gearstick, or penis-shaped with a pink gearstick) would be very excited by my car. And if I really squeeze (on the brakes) it leaves skid marks....

As an F-body man, I will never love a camaro like I love the F-body.  The new one looks like a copy of the 300C, so in this instance I prefer the Dodge.  The camaro looks weird, part CTS, part vette, and part dodge magnum.  Weird.

I do not consider it a funny thing. I consider it a fun thing. \n\nAmerican.

Early cars started driving on the same side of the street as the horse carriages of the day traveled on. Other countries generally followed the country they were a colony of (e.g. India/Pakistan follow British custom).\n\nEngland has so many classic cars because they hardly mass produce any new real cars anymore. They used to build a lot of crap, and their industry died out, just as GM and Ford are dinosaurs.\n\nImran
