I watch it on the odd occasion that its on our TV, usually a Friday.

Alright, this topic has turned into a circuit course. We literally are going past the same points over and over. How in tarnation did a racing topic become like a course?

It takes endurance , skill & a love for driving, my hats off to all the drivers.

Who disagrees with this:

The man driving that UPS truck works 10 times harder than the asshole driving the Nascar racermobiles.

depends on your defention, our ups guy never leaves his truck - pulls up tosses your box and drives away ----- remember the ups driver don't load the truck

NASCAR might not take "skill" but the drivers are very skilled.  Jeff Gorden jumped in Juan Montoyas F1 car from 2004 at Indy road coarse of was 1 second off the pole time within 30 min.  It wasn't luck and the car was tuned down a bit.

Just a regular question, does NASCAR regulate the ammount of power one car can have, or is it like free for all (like F1.)?

its highly regulated

huh? F1 is very highly regulated. why do you think they recently all downsizes their engines, dont use turbos and arent allowed full slicks? :p

I think what Bernidictus was wondering is if all the cars have the same horsepower or have to be the same as far as tires, shocks, gas, restricter plates.  In Nascar the rules are there to keep the cars as close to each other as possible so it is up to the driver more than the car. In Nascar when one type of car ,weather it be Ford, Chevy, or whatever make, is clearly faster than the others then Nascar will make a rule change such as the allowable height of the rear spoiler might be reduced to even the cars up.

Somebody said ignorantly that Nascar drivers couldn't handle even racing in a Indy car and making right hand turns.  Well, Tony Stewart used to race Indy cars before Nascar and won a points championship I think in his last year of racing in Indy Cars.  Robbie Gorden used to race in the Indianapolis 500 along with Stewart and then jump on a helicopter and plane an fly out to race in the night race for Nascar all in the same day.  Since Indiana went to Daylight Saving Time and The Indy 500 changed the start time of the race this is no longer possible for the drivers to do.

I'm not putting down F1 in anyway but as far as F1 racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, I say don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.  F1 had a chance to get a foothold here in the states again and draw over 100,000 people to a race and F1 blew it.  There will not be a F1 race at IMS in 08 but there will be a MotoGp race that I am sure will be more exciting than the fiasco that F1 pulled off in 06 when only like 3-6 cars even competed after the first lap, the rest just pulled into the pits after one lap and quite. What a joke.  It was a problem with the tire composition not being able to handle the track but the few drivers that did race was using a different brand of tires that didn't have a problem.

Wrong. UPS drivers DO load thier own trucks. I've yet to see a UPS driver toss the package like he was a paper boy. Not sure how N.Carolina UPS operates.

No, they don't. My dad did the job, my dad's friend is a current manager, and in august I'll be doing the job. But the drivers do not load their trucks. They drive, and walk to your door. That's it.

Derailed, but not sadly.  Talking about who loads the UPS trucks is more interesting than talking about NASCAR drivers are skillful.

UPS > NASCAr
