Wasn't the avg speed at Monaco about 100mph? Aren't most NASCAR ovals won at averages over 150mph? Most f1 drivers only see other cars for 5 seconds at the start (where half of them seem to crash out because they can't handle being that close to other drivers) then they are on their own, or else they tailgate somebody around the track hoping the other guy blows a traction control chip or something.

Check out the CART race times versus the F1 race times in Montreal. BTW, at the Illinois track Nascar runs about 210 MPH top end and the CART cars are running 230 MPH and don't forget F1 cars eat CART cars for lunch.
