Who's the biggest Nascar fan?

Question

i need some answers from some nascar fans that know their stuff.

im not much of a nascar fan so i wouldn't know, but i was wondering...why don't they try and speed things up in the sport since they race mainly ovals and have such a high HP.

like by reducing some weight, instead of having sheet metal bodies why not carbon fiber bodies like most other racing leagues. also why don't they make the pit stops quicker like the open wheel leagues?

Answer 1

i think i'll go along with the rest!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Haha Rowdy's got it all summed up. d**n haha I thought this would be my greatest answer. Well exactly what Rowdy said.

Answer 3

Well.. Thanks Rowdy.. that just summed up my theises. Dont need a proof reader now...

But thanks for the 2 points!!!

Answer 4

Yeah pretty much what Rowdy said.

Answer 5

because that's not how they roll in nascar. why would nascar want to be more like other leagues when they are the most popular in north america already? last thing nascar needs is suggestions to become more like other leagues. the bodies and engines are produced according to certain specs in nascar's "semi-flexible rulebook" and seeing as the original intent was for nascar to stand for "national association for stock car auto racing" the idea is to keep the cars resembling something like a stock car. granted, they're nowhere near that anymore, but making the changes you suggest would make them even less recognizable as "stock cars."

as for the pit stops, they need to stay the way they are - that's the closest thing to "real life" that there is in what was meant to be stock car racing. people can identify with jacking up a car, removing lug nuts, and changing a tire pretty much like they do now. pit like indy cars and you remove the last major connection for the fans to make to the sport on a visceral level.

Answer 6

That wouldn't make it challenging.

A sport can be easy!

They can't since the tires need more than one lugnut!
