Holy hell. It's like giving a loaded gun to a chimpanzee...

Why is it important if NASCAR benefits the average driver?
NASCAR has been a huge fashion benefit to American culture
Why is it important if NASCAR benefits the average driver? I mean, most sports do not 'benefit' the average person in any way, except for the health benefits they gain from participating and the joy of spectating. That is enough.
NASCAR keeps their cars limited to privative technology so no other country can field cars to compete with them. In order to race, Toyota had to bring out a 70 year old motor design of their own.If NASCAR allowed DOHC and other innovations that most current street cars have, BMW, Audi and the like would blow them off the track.
You do realise that one of the most advanced* engines out today is the Corvette's LS series of engines, right? Do you also realise that this is a 5.7L to 7.0L two valve, pushrod engine?*advanced = class leader in power, torque, engine weight, fuel economy that is at least 50% better than everyone else, costs 2/3rds the price, and good reputation for reliability
(It's a friggin' sport. It's like saying I want football helmet technology in my motorcycle or USAF flight helmets...)
I like the young urban cowboys wearing the $400 leather NASCAR jackets that say VIAGRA across the back.
