The car descriptions are pretty funny, "drawn on headlights, sponsored by some paint company".

That is pretty cool. Although I can't imagine that average top NASCAR teams spend 6.5 million. I've heard it's more like 10 times that.

A Red Bull poster, and yet they don't mention the salaries of their own drivers?

In what world is a Nascar pit stop only 11 seconds, or a F1 stop as long as 7 seconds?

NASCAR doesn't have a Bernie to suck up all the extra funds for his daughters homes

Thanks for posting. It's very interesting.
My fave is the steering wheel comparison.
