NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing)

Three types of cars run in the Nextel Cup: Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Ford Fusion, Dodge Charger
The idea of a stock car, which is in the name of this racing, is not already valid. Since the times it was current 50 years have already passed. A Stock Car has price at $8-12 mil., because sonsors pay it to the team for a spot for their stickers. It is a very expensive thing if we realize that many drivers destroy 2-3 cars during the season. Luckily sponsors pay the most. There are not used other than American cars. In the past also other American cars like Pontiac, Chrysler, Lincoln, Oldsmobile, Hudson, Dodge, Buick, Mercury, and Plymouth ran here, but today only those three. Let's hope that the others will return...
Today a Stock Car has not got many things in common with an ordinary car:
-it has no door, drivers enter and exit through the driver-side window
-it has tires without a pattern
-it has various shocks, because the car runs usually left on banked turns
-it has only one sports seat for the driver
-it has a roll cage inside the car
-it has no lights and also no brake light, so if someone brakes swiftly, the others smash him
-it has only one inside mirror, because the outside mirrors would be immediately broken and would lie on the race-track
-it has a special high-power engine
-it has safety bars over the windows
-it takes 104-octane gasoline
