Penske Racing entered the last to Grands Prix of the 1974 season and continued in F1 through the end of the 1976 season. Mark Donohue was the original driver. After his death in practice for the Austrian GP in 1975, John Watson took over. It was always a one car team. Watson scored Penske's only F1 win at the Austrian GP in 1976.
Vel Miletch entered 25 Nascar Grand National races (as they were called in the pre-Winston and Nextel days) between 1956 and 1964. His team scored 5 wins, all in West Coast races, with drivers Parnelli Jones, Eddie Gray and Marvin Porter. Miletich had a long association with Parnelli Jones, sponsoring him various types of racing. When Parnelli retired as a driver, they formed Vel's Parnelli Jones racing, which became one of the most successful teams in USAC championship racing and F5000. In 1974, Vel's Parnelli Jones Racing entered Formula 1 with Mario Andretti as its driver. Like Penske, it did the last two races of '74, and all of the 1975 season. The Parnelli showed promise initially but was hampered when Firestone pulled out of F1 (the car had been designed to run on Firestone tires) and when Viceroy (VPJ's sponsor in American racing) decided not to sponsor the F1 team. The F1 team was something of a sideline for VPJ Racing. Andretti was really the driving force behind it. Without sponsorship and with little success on the track (its best result was a 4th in the 1975 GP of Sweden), the team folded after the second race of 1976.

Can a driver race his own car in Nascar?
You CAN, but most people don't. Tony Stewart is an owner-driver; he owns the cars he races. Dale Earnhardt was an owner-driver too, but he owned cars that other people drove, and drove cars other people owned. Darrell Waltrip and Bill Elliott were also owner-drivers, as was Richard Petty. If by "his own car" you mean the one in his driveway...no, street cars are very different from racing cars.
