All About Auto Racing

What is 'stock car racing'?

What are the different types of race courses?

A NASCAR runs on basically an oval. Some are short ovals. Some are super speedways like in Talladega and Daytona, and they also run on road courses. I think, they have two road courses a year, at Walkensland and up at Infineon Raceway. Straight line courses are mainly a quarter mile dragsters. I think they have eight mile dragsters too, probably for the younger generation, but quarter mile drags are obviously straight line. That's an art form in itself - the speed they go now is incredible.

What is 'NASCAR'?

NASCAR is a sanctioning body for most of the stock car racing that's done in the United States, arguably the most popular form from a spectator standpoint racing in the United States.

What is 'formula one'?

What is the 'Indy Racing League'?

IRL is the Indy Racing League, and it's owned by Tony George, who also owns the Indianapolis Motor Speedway where the Indy 500 is run once a year in May. It's comprised of cars that are similar to Formula 1, but they don't have quite the technology, nor do they allow some of the technology, mainly to keep the cost down.

What is the SCCA in auto racing?

What are 'dragsters'?

What are 'open-cockpit sports cars'?

What are 'open-wheeled vehicles'?

What are 'closed-wheel vehicles'?

The cars behind us would be considered closed-wheel because you cannot see the tires. They could have a rip on them. They could be a sedan, a Mustang, a Camero, or a Toyota. A NASCAR would be considered closed-wheel from the standpoint you don't see the tires on the outside of the car.
