How many other racing series allow drivers to drive with in inches of each other for 500 miles. Yeah they go in a circle , so what. They are inches away from each other at 190+ miles an hour. One slight move and you don't wreck yourself you wreck 20+ cars. That is a chance for 20 deaths in one crash, How many of us could live with that chance every weekend?
P.S. I would love to do it.
Later,

Agreed. It takes just as much skill to run a car 190 mph inches from each other with little visibility as it does to drive a Scooby down a rally race trail and heck, it takes TWO guys to do that!

I really want to tell you where you can go right now. Why don't you generalize a little more . The reason they don't allow newer technology in the cars is to keep costs down so it doesn't end up like f1, where only rich teams can compete to win. Granted it's still expensive to run a team for a year, but in comparison f1 costs a hell of a lot more.
Somebody cant read sarcasm! BTW who pissed in your cheerios that day? FWIW I am the biggest Ryan Newman fan in the whole area - I am a lover of motor sports- NASCAR is not my Favorite but its still good racing- and as Jeff Gordon (I still dont like him) recently proved with the International Race of Champions in Spain - that a NASCAR driver really can drive a race car- the Americans won the competition.
