Yes, NASCAR racing engines use antifreeze. There is no other way for them to keep the engine from overheating. NASCAR engines are similar to street engines but with more horsepower.
No, NASCAR engines are naturally aspirated and turbochargers are prohibited (not allowed).
No, they use V8 engines.
NASCAR uses stock engines, with many of the racers using the engines created by Roush-Fenway. These are four stroke engines that reach horsepower of over 800.
Yes
The compression ratio for NASCAR engines is limited to 12.0:1.
On both the gas and diesel engines they use DEX-COOL antifreeze mixed with distilled water..........
One type of antifreeze that can be used is Pentosin PENTOFROST A1. Pentofrost A1 is an antifreeze for Asian vehicles in water-cooled engines.
In team shops.
Nascar do allow the use of Cometic gaskets on the racing cars. The cometic gasket is produced with today's lightweight engines in mind and provides extra performance and power output

No, NASCAR engines are cooled by water. Ethylene glycol cannot be used due to the fact that if there is a wreck, the track will remain slick in that area and a hazard. In addition, it would not be good for the environment.
in some case it will. the composition of antifreeze is different by colour. in some engines the chemicals react with the engine parts (i.e. gaskets or seals) and cause the parts to fail. use the proper antifreeze for your engine.
