) Are there dirt track ovals in Europe? I really don't see any NASCAR drivers dominating F1 courses though unless they came from F1. I think it's sad that they regulate these cars also. Let them push 250+ mph. See if they can still keep them off the wall.

Don't get me wrong, I love NASCAR, but those guys can't really drive anywhere other than NASCAR.

Im not saying open wheel drivers suck, what i am saying is that driving a stock car is gotta be harder than driving anything else, and thats why the guys get my props

Maybe in the USA, but there is a world outside the USA too.

All I know is Monaco is this weekend, my favorite race of the season! And I can't wait until the race in Austin, tx. Will be my 3rd f1 race. Monza, Italy my first and Montreal, Canada my last. Amazing experience. Not a better sound in the world.

The two road races those guys run does not make a season of circles acceptable. And I'm sure the road course guys they bring in have a big problem with the stock car's inferior designs anyways. Most people that I know that are into NASCAR just want to see wrecks anyways. And the rest go to races so they can look at girls flash their **** at them.

Juan pablo for example, in his 7th season, 2 wins? Cmon al... How much time do they need? And i like how you say just left turns! Lol! Al you make it sound like its a run to the grocery, come to stop sign, take a leftt and no brakes??? Watch a watkins glen race and youll see brakes, lefts right, etc. And like i said earlier, some teams bring in road course specialist for this race and still cant be nascar drivers! I think your really underestimating stock car drivers abilitys! I never said open wheel guys cant drive, i said there cars are by far easier to handle than stock cars. And for making stock cars faster, thats not gonna happen for saftey reasons! Its physics bro, its simple....

When did any NASCAR regular won so many races and championships in any open wheel racing?

- he BEAT Tony's lap time in Tony's car on Tony's favorite track! 
I thought it was absolutely hilarious that the Nascar drivers were complaining about having to juggle 5 radio channels, while F1 drivers make over 100 steering wheel inputs EVERY LAP, while doing a heckuvalot more than just turning left! Compare the steering wheel of an F1 car with that from a Nascar sometime.

Tony Stewart? Former open wheel driver who switched to NASCAR and then won 46 races and 3 championships in NASCAR?
When did any NASCAR driver had such success in the open wheel racing?
