1. NASCAR largely doesn't enforce driving standards when it comes to drivers running into each other on the track when they are racing for position. Dirty driving is discouraged because drivers know that it will probably come back to bite them (as you see in this video). 2. From 1975-2003, NASCAR had a season-long points championship similar to what Formula 1 does. From 2004-2013, they had a points reset with 10 races to go in the season which they called the "Chase". Now they have a "Playoffs" with drivers eliminated from championship contention every three races after the initial points reset with 10 races left and a winner-take-all championship race of the four drivers still in championship contention. 3. The last driver to die in a NASCAR event was Dale Earnhardt in the 2001 Daytona 500. 4. IndyCar is probably the second most popular form of car racing in the U.S. (after NASCAR). They race open wheel race cars (similar to Formula 1) on a combination of street circuits, permanent road courses and ovals. IndyCar's most well-known event is the Indianapolis 500. 5.

Hey Norseman.....cool video. Nice to see you branching out to other sports. I think you would be shocked and really enjoy Nascars Greatest Crashes. Enjoy.
Enjoyed this reaction, Norseman so thank you for that. I started watching NASCAR about the same time as you did this - I've been a long time MN Twins baseball fan and i've been watching the boys at Old Trafford for decades (GO MANU!) but COVID trashed the baseball season and i just happened to be surfing when a race was on...i started watching and i have to say, i'm hooked! I'm sure by now you've learned the speeds vary depending on how large the track is but they average 240KPH - 320KPH and yeah that's crazy, insane fast - what hooked me was watching them race at 320KPH and they're literally 30cm side to side and as you see they are very often right on the ass of the vehicle in front of them...as to rules Shea Arnold replied nailing it. They more or less police themselves - you drive dirty you can expect the same in return but they're ALL uber competitive and extreme high-strung (i imagine you sort of have to be to control your car at those speeds) so when someone cuts you off...that's something that lingers for the entire race. I dont know if you've seen any Super Speedway (Daytona and Talladega) races yet (those are the REALLY fast tracks) - but i'm about to binge your list :) Good stuff mate, cheers. DAYTONA 500 THIS WEEKEND...WOOT!
So much that you may not understand, lol. So the majority of NASCARs tracks are ovals, but they're all different ovals with different configs and banking and lengths. The largest called "superspeedways" were determined to be too fast, so they restricted their horsepower, which yields completely different racing, either pack racing due to the draft, or "tandem" racing during one period where two cars bumper to bumper ourselves single cars by a large margin.
Top speed is usually about 200 mph. The hardest crashes hit the wall around 180 mph. The cars are built so well that this is usually survivable. Bumping and even fully hitting other racers is almost always legal but retaliation can be expected during that race or following races.
NASCAR origins is supposedly in running illegal whiskey. Though some of it is just guys wanting to show they have the fastest car in town. That's important in a small town. Just as its important to know who can beat whom, kill the biggest buck, or land the biggest bass.
Points are based on position and every car has different owners.. Well owner could own multiple but usually about 1 or 2 and they have a lot of races in season... That's why you see fights sometimes.. If can't finish cause of damage you get 0 points
Actually the theroitcal top speed of a Nascar car is 230 mph just 200 is used often because it's pretty rounded and is average speeds that ain't a short track or a road course IE Sonoma and Walktins glen though there is tracks where speed exceede 200 real easy
That kyle busch clip with ron Hornaday is what became me a member of #rowdynation kyle busch I would of done the same freaking thing first thing in mind is payback right away
sonoma/infineon has to be the best track to watch since its a proper road course and not an oval, i would watch nascar more if they raced at other road courses, like instead of doing the ovals at daytona and indianapolis they would use the road courses (look up daytona or indianapolis road courses if you dont know)
@@JamesCornwall95 If you are taking requests, just as a couple of fun videos I'd suggest Nascar's best finishes or Nascar fights. Theres so many things to watch on the sport
Yep most of that is legal. 200ish MPH 321kph. You win on the day but points are counted over the season. I suggest looking up NASCAR crashes and look through them. Several over the years have died racing. A LOT of injuries every year.
@@JamesCornwall95 when researching check out "drafting" and also how sometimes its compressed air waves in front or side of a car that destabilizes another car and causes wrecks.
It seems to me that F1 is one or lost in the qualifications. I don't seem to see a lot of passing in the actual race. NASCAR thrives on passing, bumping, "trading paint", and drafting. The downside of NASCAR is that the tracts are rather boring left turn ovals. Just my observation.

Thanks for the breakdown bro i really appreciate it ! Ill check the craziest finishes right now man !
NASCAR is basically a mechanized 43-team chess match played at 200 mph. Everything affects strategy, and strategy affects everything.
40 cars

Injuries are common but deaths are very very rare nowadays
There is around 82 fatalities and a career in this sport can last from 12 to 22 years
It should be noted, there are outliers for that career length range. Dale Jarrett, for example.
NASCAR origins is supposedly in running illegal whiskey. Though some of it is just guys wanting to show they have the fastest car in town. That's important in a small town. Just as its important to know who can beat whom, kill the biggest buck, or land the biggest bass.
As a diehard NASCAR fan this is true.
Deaths in nascar don’t really happen anymore bc the cars are very safe now. When the sport began deaths were very common
You should watch videos of nascar's greatest driver ever and my favorite all time Dale Earnhardt
15:50 my favorite payback of all time

Watch the offroad racing at Crandon, Wisconsin.

There are hardly any injuries at all in NASCAR. Only 4 major injuries in the last 7 years.
