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 never said it wasn’t racing, but you have to admit, those are STOCK CARS, not RACE CARS. They weren’t made to race.
The reason NASCAR is so competitive is that the payout is much higher than IRL. If IRL paid that much, all those NASCAR drivers would be open wheel heroes.
