Todays street versions would not be safe at superspeedway speeds and aerodynamics greatly influence the performance of today's race cars.




I thought the reason they have a gas pedal is so when the DRIVER thinks he is going too fast (ie unsafe) he lifts a little, until HE feels safe. And since the aero qualities of real stock cars is so poor, they have much more drag and likely somewhat slower anyway. I'll take stock looking over front ground dragging splitters anyday. Cars race fine on slick surfaces (rain, dirt, etc) without aero grip, they will do fine in NASCAR, just lacking the will, IMO.


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
