When a driver has severely violated the rules of NASCAR or is driving in a manner which creates a threat to other drivers and even fans at the track, they will be "black flagged" or pulled from the race and not allowed to return to the track.

A NASCAR race car is measured to be about 125-130 decibels. So they are pretty loud. I have been to 5 NASCAR races and the sound doesn't bother me. It is still pretty loud even if you are sitting 20 to 25 rows from the track.

What is the net force exerted on a 90.0 kg race-car driver while the race car is accelerating from 0 to 44.7 ms in 4.50 s?

Since Force=Mass * Acceleration; and Mass= 90kg and Acceleration = (44.7 meters/second)/(4.50 sec) = 9.93 m/sec^2 Therefore, F=MA(Gc) F=(90kg)*(9.93 m/sec^2) = 893.7 kg*m/sec^2 The gravitational constant (Gc) that allows us to relate kg mass to kg force = 9.8 m/sec^2. Therefore, (893.7kg*m/sec^2) / (9.8 m/sec^2) = 91.2 kg Force

Do Nascar drivers urinate while driving in long races?

Race car drivers almost never have to urinate because racing dehydrates the driver. A far greater issue for drivers wearing multi-layer racing suits, gloves, and helmets in a hot cockpit is maintaining hydration to replace fluids which are sweated out rather than expelling fluids. Typically, the last two things one does before climbing in a race car are (1) go to the bathroom and (2) take a large drink of fluids.

How much gas does a Nascar race car hold?

Actually, the gas can itself can only hold 11 gallons of gas, that's why you always see the gas man putting in two cans worth of gas during a regular pit stop.

Yes, 11 gallons is what the can is suppose to (and designed to) hold, however, there are some very clever people in Nascar who got as much as "11.7 gallons" from a can, neck, an vent included. That coupled with oversized gas lines, vent tubes, etc., consider stronger tube material with thinner wall thickness. every aspect of race(car/truck/etc.) is scrutinized for what ever edge they can get. Mileage is very important in winning, gastanks, cans, lines, are well thought out.

Though at some tracks, NASCAR mandates a smaller fuel cell to spread out the field (like Daytona and Talladega)
