A horse race in which the owner declares before the race how much the horse will be offered for sale after the race.
It depends on a variety of factors, such as the level of racing, the track being run at, and various bonuses and such.
At the lower levels of NASCAR like in it's Regional Series, race winners may get a few hundred dollars or so, while Sprint Cup race winners get hundreds of thousands (or even one to two million dollars at Daytona) though the amount varies by track.
22 percent of the whole ,the pole winner win the race. This takes place in races like NASCAR and DAYTONA . They are car races .
There really isn't an age that they go by but the driver has to be able to control the car good enough to race. Some drivers in NASCAR are 17 and 18 years old.
Richard Petty won the Nascar Winston Cup Series championship in 1974.
This is only an educated guess, but back in the early part of the 20th century, the main street in any given town was referred to as "the main drag". Since organized drag racing grew from street racing, if you challenged someone to race from one intersection to the next, you are racing on the "main drag", thus "Drag Racing". Now why the street in town was called the "main drag", well, that is another question to be answered elsewhere.

A small bit of info, A fine levied by Nascar, in the thousands, Mcclaren was fined 100 million.Answer
Formula one has less sponsors but more money, nascar has more sponsor less money.
Granted formula one has great sponsors and more of an international following but the competition is more about the driver than people think.
As far as team budgets go, it's definetly f1. the big teams have budgets from 100- 250 MILLION. with 10 teams, that's a ridiculous amount of money. I would disagree and say that f1 also has a far bigger following. sure, nascar is big in the us, but f1 is everywhere. it is the third most watched sporting event in the world, and nascar is further down the list. F1 has far more money. No question.
Yes, there have been several NASCAR races in recent years without 43 drivers. The Kentucky Speedway racetrack does not race 43 cars.

The 1950 Formula One season included the inaugural FIA Formula One World Championship season, which commenced on May 13, 1950, and ended on September 3 after 7 races. The championship consisted of six Formula One races in Europe plus the Indianapolis 500, which was run to AAA/USAC regulations. Numerous other Formula One races, which did not count towards the Championship, were also held during the year. The inaugural World Championship, to a formula which specified engine capacity of 1.5 litres supercharged or 4.5 litres unsupercharged, saw Alfa Romeo dominate with their supercharged 158, a well-developed pre-war design, which won all six European Grands Prix. Alfa drivers consequently dominated the championship with Farina edging out Fangio by virtue of his fourth place in Belgium. Although the Indianapolis 500, which ran to different regulations, was included in the championship series until 1960, it attracted very little European participation and, conversely, very few American Indianapolis drivers entered any grand prix. Championship points were given to top 5 finishers (8, 6, 4, 3, 2). 1 point was given for the fastest lap. Only the best four of seven scores counted towards the World Championship. Points for shared drives were divided equally between the drivers, regardless of how many laps each driver drove. Nino Farina who drove for the team Alfa Romeo won the championship with 30 points
There are many color flags used in F1 racing. Some important flags are: a. Green flag - Start or Restart of a race b. Yellow flag - Caution (Usually in parts of the circuit where accidents have happened) c. Red flag - Race stopped d. Blue flag - To allow overtaking of the following car which is one lap ahead e. Chequered flag - Successful completion of race
A Nascar stock car would be faster, because a sprint car is normally driven around a small dirt track. So I doubt that sprint cars exceed 200 mph.
Around 2 hours. Most races are designed in such a way that they last for around 2 hours or approximately 300 kms. Some tracks are longer and some are shorter. In such cases the number of laps is adjusted to ensure that the race distance is around 300 kilometres and the race does not take more than 2 hours to complete. There have been cases where races have been stopped because they exceeded the 2 hours mark and were still running due to rain/accident etc.
To give you a clue, i'd share this with you:
USF1 from USA was meant to join Formula 1 this season, but they didn't, they weren't ready, however they already spent more than US$ 25M.
Of course to maintain the team, sponsors whom your team will be advertising for pays you, like Marlboro pays Ferrari.
There's a great misconception about tires that says tread equals traction. While it's true on wet roads and dirt, it is not true on dry, clean pavement. Rubber gives traction, not tread. The function of tread is to cut through water, dirt, etc by channeling it into the spaces between the tread blocks to allow the rubber to meet the driving surface. This is not needed on a clean, dry race track, and tread merely reduces the amount of rubber that meets the surface and thereby reduces the contact patch. Racing slicks have no tread and therefore give far greater traction by increasing the area of the tire's contact patch on clean pavement. However, in the wet they become virtually useless because the tire can no longer make contact with the racing surface; hence "rain tires" and off-road racing tires have tread.
