‘Nascar Nextel Cup Series’

There are many different types of races for Nascar. Too many to go over in just one post. So this time we will only explain to you newbies what the “Nascar Nextel Cup Series” is. The “Nascar Nextel Cup Series” is the sport’s highest level of professional competition. It is consequently the most popular and most profitable Nascar series. The 2006 Nextel Cup season consisted of 36 races over 10 months, with over $4 million in total prize money at stake at each race. Writers and fans often use “Cup” to refer to the NextelCup series and the ambiguous use of “Nascar” as a synonym for the Nextel Cup series is common. As of 2007, the defending champion is Jimmie Johnson.

‘Formula One’ Pit Stops

Drivers in the Formula One race are required to make pit stops. The purpose of this pit stop is to refuel and change the tires. Making sure that they do not slow down throughout the end of the race. If it is needed some teams will adjust the front and rear wigs and might perform small repairs. They must do all of this as fast as they can.

Chase Points System Altered

In 2007 winning a race will become even more important then ever before. It has been decided that the points system should be changed. The adjustments are designed to establish more balance between winning and consistency, but they want the people to focus more on the winning than anything else.

Importance Of Safety Cars

For a dramatic expression of the relative performance of Formula One cars and road cars you need to look no further than the familiar, silver forms of the safety cars that feature at every Grand Prix. The safety car is very important to ensuring the spectacle of a Formula One race does not suffer from undue disruption, as its use allows the race to continue even after a major accident, or other incident serious enough to require the presence of marshals on the track.
