Nascar is raced on both ovals and road courses. On super speedways the cars are well over 200mph side by side for 500 miles which is also why the crashes are so terrifying. There are different size oval tracks from short tracks to the super speedways so you need a great team to have the cars setup to race well at all of them.

You should clarify that they only hits those speeds on the long straight-a ways. Some of the shorter tracks they can't usually get up past 180/190 before the next turn - some even less for the really short tracks. But, considering they may get up to 3 or more cars wide, that is plenty fast.

Everyone adding speed in MPH, the general range of these races are in the 280-325kmh range

[@YoungBusterx]

NASCAR race cars can reach top speeds of over 200 miles per hour (mph), but average speeds vary depending on several factors, including the track's length, banking, surface type, and race conditions. For example, during the Daytona 500, average speeds are usually between 150 and 180 mph due to the strategic nature of the race, but speeds can sometimes exceed 190 mph. On larger tracks like Talladega Superspeedway or Daytona International Speedway, NASCARs can reach speeds of over 200 mph because of the long straightaways and steep banking, which allow drivers to maintain high speeds.

2:01 No, technically. Sometimes it is an oval, but there is a triangle track, and a few road courses, and a street course.

[@PredxMarvel]

NASCAR is raced on several different disciplines, they have 2.5 mile superspeedways which relys on handling, drafting and holding the throttle wideopen, your short tracks which requires you to be a little more physical with other cars ahead and around you. Alot of times drivers use the bump and run to advance their positions. You have road courses and a street courses just like Indy or F1. Then finally you have your 1.5miles which is all about driver vs car vs track. 1.5 mile tracks are very technical to get around despite how they're portrayed. All 1.5, 2mile and 2.5 mile tracks are D-shaped ovals as well.

Back in prohibition days, moonshiners had to run from the law to keep from getting arrested and their cargo destroyed. The Runners (delivery guys) would modify their cars so they looked every day and blended in with all the other cars on the road but had the power and suspension that would enable them to outrun the law. The Runners would take pride in their cars and so would race each other, which eventually turned into customers rewarding the first to arrive with their cargo intact for the sale, creating competition. Once Prohibition was lifted, the races became entertainment on the weekends and they called it Stockcar Racing because the cars were essentially your everyday stock car. When NASCAR formed out of all the leagues that were doing races, one of the rules they implemented was that your car had to be a production car with 1000 cars or more of that model made or ordered to be made. From this cars like Mustangs, Chargers, and Trans AMs were made so the car companies could profit off of the races by having that model of car for sale on the showroom floor. Today it is a huge event, boasting crowds in the +100Ks, plus they took from football the party effect and have the best tailgate parties you will find anywhere. There are way more people in the parking lots than in the stands as campers and tents are set up with the race on TVs while someone is cooking/BBQing and of course, it wouldn't be NASCAR without the alcohol, lots and lots of alcohol consumption.

[@nomadman5288]

NASCAR is mainly ovals, but they do race at a few road circuits too. The most they've raced at in a season is 7 and this season there are 4. The next one is actually a street circuit over July 4th Weekend in Chicago. Former F1 champ Jenson Button raced in that race last season, which was the inagural street race for the series. I understand that people more familiar to road racing generally seem to have preconcieved notions about NASCAR because it's mostly ovals, but oval racing is a whole different beast. People scoff at it, but it requires increeible car control and precision, especially on more worn surfaces that wear tires more quickly.

[@nathanwahl9224]

And the really critical area is the aerodynamics and how the cars can impact each other. One of its components, drafting is an artform in itself.

@@nathanwahl9224Drafting can easily be used as a weapon, as well. Ever heard of dirty air? Exact same thing as drafting, but _wildly_ different results. When following a car in an aero-sensitive corner like the turns at a typical 1.5 mile track, what little downforce you had is _slashed._ A driver who’s able to overcome that lack of aero on sheer talent alone is what separates the men from the boys.

Nascar races on 4 types of tracks: - Road courses: Like F1 tracks. There's not a lot of them on the calendar, but they go to some pretty famous tracks like watkins glen and circuit of the americas, and a couple that are hybrid road courses like the indy road course and the charlotte roval. - Short tracks: These are basically stadiums with a racetrack, usually the track is between 0.5-0.75 miles in length. These tracks have the most casual bumping and shoving, because they are so tight and so short that you have to get the elbows out if you want to get past. - Speedways: This is your bread and butter oval track...only many of them arent actually ovals. These tracks are 1-2 miles in length and feature a variety of actual shapes, ranging from the Monster Mile at Dover (which is an actual oval) to Pocono Raceway, which looks more like a triangle than a race track. - Super Speedways: There's only 2, Daytona and Talledega. These tracks are long (2.5 and 2.66 miles respectively), and feature high banking in the corners, so the drivers are at full throttle for 100% of the lap. These tracks use something called a restrictor plate, a metal plate that limits the airflow into the engine, to reduce the engine power so the cars dont get too dangerously fast and end up killing fans in the stands as nearly happened at Daytona in the 80s. This plate makes it so that exploiting the draft is the only way to move up, and whenever you see a video of a huge pack of cars all clustered tight AF together thats one of these two tracks.

The bodies of the car are covered in a large vinyl decal. That has all the colors and numbers, etc. They drive on ovals, road courses, an elongated triangle, and dirt. All they need now is a figure eight. There are a dozen NASCAR series. The three top are two car series and one truck series. They run up to 200+ mph in a draft at the larger tracks. NASCAR deems the cars are too fast for safety, so they have restrictor plates on the engine to reduce the horsepower.

At 9:12, that road course is in Napa Valley in Northern California. If you want to take a beautiful trip to the US, go see Yosemite National Park, Monterey Bay, the San Francisco Bay Area, and then take in a race in Sonoma.

It did, so as he said, "It runs, the wheels are all on on it, let's race!".

These NASCAR cars can do over 200 mph (321 kph) in the straights...and that's with restrictor plates on them. Without the plates they can do about 225 mph (362 kph).

8:05 I honestly don't watch NASCAR much but I know a good bit of cars and racing thanks to family. NASCAR drivers work in teams, for example: Hendrick Motorsports. An ace driver will often get assistance from a sidekick to utilize aerodynamics to gain an advantage whether it is drafting them (following closely) to pick up speed and/or increase fuel efficiency, or the sidekick running up behind to "push" the other driver forward. You hear a lot of references to teamwork in this video. I always just tell people to think of "Shake and Bake" from Talladega Nights because that is most people's extent of exposure to track racing.

Nascar has road courses like Watkins Glenn

[@robertdysonn]

Nothing like driving in heavy traffic at 200 miles an hour.

[@raymonddevera2796]

Unlike F1 racing these cars do not use fuel injection, but a big four barrel carburetor.

[@the_ultra_robot6884]

No dude, they use fuel injectors

[@Blkevrythng]

You guys need to react to drivers race at Bristol race track. It’s short track but so many crashes.

[@Brian-wb7uv]

The cars are twice as heavy with tires half as wide as F1. And there's no anti-lock brakes or traction control. It's a lot more about driver talent than automation. Find a vid called Trading Paint, where Juan Pablo Montoya and Jeff Gordon trade cars and run a road course. It'll give you some perspective.

[@the_ultra_robot6884]

F1 doesn't have abs or tc

[@Brian-wb7uv]

@@the_ultra_robot6884 It did a few years ago - - must have changed the rules Guess that shows how much I'm interested in F1 -- not that much. You should still watch that video -- Gordon absolutely kicked his ass

[@valerieburris607]

I am a fan of Nascar Racing,I try to watch it every Sunday.

[@V10_Addict]

its so refreshing to see f1 fans appreciate nascar for what it is! cheers to both of you, coming from a nascar and f1 fan ❤️

[@BrLoc]

So, a lot of times the drivers are really pushing their cars hard as hell towards the last few laps and there is inevitably crashes. That results in a restart and with only 2 or 3 laps left they end up a lot closer at the end because they don't have more time to spread out. It's balls to the wall for 2 or 3 laps.

[@randabeast]

There have been several f1 drivers move to nascar. A couple of them with good success.

[@beardown3920]

They hit top speeds of about 200 miles per hour on long straightaways. The races in person are INSANELY loud. Check out some videos of NASCAR crashes, they get wild!

[@jenniferrowland1339]

Yup. Ear protection is a must.

[@garytalley4376]

the car In first is gonna be the slowest during the race..look up the definition of drifting in nascar, it's not burning rubber in turns.. it's the air moving behind (pocket) the car

[@garytalley4376]

drafting

[@beardown3920]

NASCAR started in the south of the US from guys transporting illegal alcohol (moonshine) years ago. They doctored the cars up to outrun the police and eventually they started racing them and NASCAR was born.

[@misfitjester14]

The main differences between the 2 types of racing is basically down to the cars. Nascar uses a v8 engine versus 6 cylinders in f1. The Nascar uses no driving aids like anti-lock brakes, traction control, or computers on the cars. The Nascar is basically meant to be a familiar look of the cars you can buy for street use (Toyota camry, Ford Mustang, Chevrolet camaro, etc). The only difference is the engine is custom built & makes around 700 horsepower. Most Nascar drivers spend lots of time working out at the gym similar to what a professional athlete would do. They spend 4-6 hrs in a fireproof suit inside a car that's close to 150 degrees Fahrenheit or around 65 Celsius. As far as car control they have brakes & a steering wheel, nothing else

[@the_ultra_robot6884]

F1 doesn't have any of the assists you mentioned either

[@nemesis4666]

F1 drivers wouldn't know what to do to be side by side by 20 cars

[@ZPaul_]

I’ve been to a NASCAR race once and let me just tell you the sound these cars make are absolutely insane. These things absolutely roar and produce a sound and sensation unlike any other racing series. I could literally feel my entire body vibrate as each car passed by. I highly recommend you go to one if you can.

[@SKOLLHEIMR]

NASCAR is mostly oval track racing but they do have road circuits as well, they are doing 200 mph at Daytona

[@ADX77]

Super impressed with the racing at fontana. Pity they demolished the track.

[@jacobthibodeau6685]

2:33 the crazy thing is back in the day they used to go even faster.... guys were hitting corners at 200mph. After a fatal crash they made more regulations, one being "restrictor plates". It is a form of limiter for the engine to keep all the cars at a safer speed, this is why you see them drafting each other and bumping to gain positions. The sport became a bit less about speed and more about strategic moves on the track.

[@JosephLong-m8s]

To explain the tracks, there are multiple types but the basic layouts are 1.5 mile ovals, short ovals, super speedways like Talladega, and a handful of road courses as well.

[@Nomad-vv1gk]

Yass & Fats, NASCAR started doing a street race in Chicago, Illinois last year. The event takes place over two days during the Independence Day Holiday (the 4th of July). The Grant Park 165 is an annual NASCAR Cup Series race held on the Chicago Street Course, a street circuit in Grant Park, Chicago, Illinois, United States. The race was first held in 2023 and was the first ever street race contested in the NASCAR Cup Series.

[@beardown3920]

They get in first fights after NASCAR races pretty often. Those are some good videos too.

[@7thgrader07]

42-43 cars usually, then when big crashes happen some cars are taken out depending on the damage. 5860cc engine, 485kW-522kW, 720N•m 5.86L (358ci, 650-700hp, 530 ft•lb) That being said, they tune the car depending on the track

[@oakdaddy3676]

The headlights & tail lights are not drawn on , they are all real .

[@DavidKAnderson]

On the biggest ovals ("superspeedways"), these cars go well over 200mph. This is one reason that they are relatively heavy for purpose-built racecars: their tube frames are basically also their heavy roll cages, designed to give the driver a fighting chance in a crash at those speeds. These are all basically the same car under the paint and stickers that make them look (a little) like production cars. There are also some rules-required OEM parts in the engine. That similarity is one reason the races are so close.

[@halhortonsworld5870]

Those 150mph speeds you saw were when they were slowing for the corners. In the straightaways, then often exceed 200mph.
