Auto Racing

The track averages over ten cautions per race.

Very big, and still growing. It is overtaking many of your standard mainstay sports, (in TV viewing, attendance, and swag buying)

It's just as much about the build as it is about the material. A poorly engineered carbon fibre frame can be heavier than a well engineered aluminum frame. But, if both frames are made equally well, then the Carbon fibre frame should be lighter.

In the modern era it was in a Busch Grand National Series Race:

Only 13 cars made it back to the start/finish line with 27 cars not making it back around. Over 30 cars were involved to some extent as some cars with damage continued. I think only 2 cars finished on the lead lap. Kenny Wallace finished 9th despite losing an engine and was 11 laps down. ~

Kimi will start his winning streak from Belgium to clinch the championship crown

There is no definitive number of pit stops in a Nascar race. This number varies due to the different size race tracks and the gas mileage for that certain race. Also if there is a green-white-checkered finish, teams can come in to the pits once again in the final laps for fresh tires.

A F1 car is streamline because teams spend millions working out how to make the car efficiently with low drag.

Nascar is really a family oriented sport. It is very entertaining for everyone that likes any kind of racing.

Australian touring cars moving to the V8 formula which is known as V8 Supercars occurred in 1999.

Since then the V8 Series winner has also been recognised at the Austrailan Touring Car Champion.

The ATCC started in 1960

Jerry Smith of the Washington Redskins from the 60's and 70's. Died of AIDS in 1986.

NASCAR races at Talladega Superspeedway attract a HUGE number of people to the area. The average attendance of the Sprint Cup races in 2010 at Talledaga was 116,750. A large number of these people will be staying at area hotels, eating at restaurants, drinking at bars, buying stuff at various stores, and each and every one of those purchases will put money in the state's coffers via sales tax as well as inject a huge amount of money into economies in and around the speedway.

Yes. There are two speedways that NASCAR comes to each year. One is Daytona International Speedway, and the other is Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Atlanta Motor Speedway is 1.54 miles in length.

Like any other car.

I have answered this question already, short version: varies from team to team.

Here is the answer else where in the category. There are several schools of thought and facts, many lessor teams average between $30,000 to $50,000, middle range teams $40,000 to $70,000, top teams $60,000 to $90,000, A few even more, but they are the best of the best. This is a hard question to give exactitudes, the team owner(s) and sponsors determine the wages for crew members, with great sponsors comes huge money.

In 2003, Matt Kenseth won the last Nascar Winston Cup Series championship. The following season the series was known as the Nextel Cup. The name was again changed in 2008 to the Sprint Cup.

We do have some info on NASCAR drivers salaries, thanks to SportsIllustrated.cnn.com. SI says the highest paid driver in 2005 was Dale Earnhardt Jr., whose annual salary and earnings totaled $5,761,830, but that's not all. His endorsements earned $20,000,000, bringing his sub total compensation to $25,761,830. That number doesn't include sales of Dale Earnhardt Jr. merchandise and earnings from the racing company that he owns. SI says his total take in '05 would approach $50 million!

It all depends, I know Jimmie Johnson won $6,000,000 plus and that's just from when he won the championship. There's more bonuses involved, and the endorsements etc.

It ranges because of driver popularity, and amount of wins. For example, Jeff Gordon makes annualy over 5 million dollars just for racing not for sponsoring anything. Now, a driver like Kenny Wallace might be lucky if he breaks the 1 million dollar mark. In other series it works the same. In the IRL Danica Patrick gets paid more than most drivers even though she is winless, but she is the covergirl of the racing scene.

Eddie Hill would be my best guess (retired 1999 at age 63)

Peston Welsh who's 84 as of 2009.

Per Wikipedia: Paul Newman, at the age of 70 years and 8 days, became the oldest driver to be part of a winning team in a major sanctioned race,
