Ummm... that's because you're not supposed to hit the wall.
Ummm duh but it happens and they break.
Im sure it has nothing to do with the fact of the higher speeds. Or they have get this 90-270degree turns. turning left and scraping the wall totally different
I've seen the F1 cars hit the walls at lower speeds than 200mph which the NASCARS can go. And they have in NASCAR get this road course races also. I wasn't talking about slamming into a wall head on or what not.
It's a fact that F1 cars can't take hits like a NASCAR. It's two different forms of racing, the F1s are faster and more advanced yes, but that's not everything that NASCAR is about. Being able to survive a race is pretty big in NASCAR.

Uhh, I said it. And it is for the '08 season. Last time I checked, you could use carburators with unleaded...

IMO if you bash NASCAR you bash all types of racing. I support any type of auto racing out there.
I rarely watch Indy racing because I'm not much into open wheel racing because its unsafe and on open wheel once you get hit your out pretty much.
So you support the IRL and open wheel racing in general by saying it is unsafe and by not watching it? That seems like it is a little hypocritical to me...
My dad pays attention of this stuff all the time he told me at the Michigan race last week they are switching to unleaded next year maybe I miss understood him but I did not say I don't watch open wheel because it's unsafe (ok maybe I sorta did) I just don't enjoy other types of racing like NASCAR. I just don't know any of the drivers in it as much as NASCAR I've been a NASCAR fan since I was a little kid. I know more about it then any other sport.

If NASCAR was how a lot of people on here wanted it to be, they woulc call it F1. It's NASCAR, no need to change it and it seems to do pretty well in America compared to the other motorsports.
