I like NASCAR. I’m not dogging it, but let’s face it. You’re doing no more than 140 most of the time in a brick.

IRL is faaaaaast. No touching in IRL, at 215mph. NASCAR is, well, NASCAR. It’s not really built for speed.

NASCAR and Indy were much faster years ago until both have been restricted. If I recall correctly and I think I do, lap speeds of 240 mph were being hit at Daytona and Indy.

I was on your side at the beginning of this thread but now I think you don't know much about racing if you think NASCAR isn't racing.

I tried to get into IRL but was bored to tears. Must be the "no touching".
