too late asked:


How many different tracks does the IRL use in a season?

aflumpire asked:


around most of the world, Motor Racing takes place on race tracks which has left and right turns.

But why is it that in America that such races such as NASCAR and the IRL are on ovals and not ‘proper’ race tracks??

I know that some forms of racing in the US do race on ‘proper’ tracks but I dont see the thrill in oval racing!

Troy B asked:


Do super teams, such as Henderick Motor Sports in NASCAR and Andretti Green Racing in IRL, make things more interesting and / or competitive? Do they do just the opposite?
