NASCAR

Marcos Ambrose began driving for Richard Petty Motorsports in 2011. From 2009-2010 he drove for JTG-Daugherty Racing. In 2008, Ambrose competed in 11 races for three different owners (Wood Brothers, Tad Geschickterand Michael Waltrip).

Yes, they have two daughters named Karsyn and Kennedy.

Pontiac sponsored teams for quite some time, as did Buick. The last official chatter I had heard directly from GM, as an employee of Chevrolet, was that they were talking about downsizing, and possibly even phasing out Pontiac. They were going to come up with a whole new product, and nameplate series. This was back in late 06. Saturn was breaking even, and for sale, Hummer was up for grabs, which, makes no sense because the H1 was discontinued, the H2, was simply a Tahoe, as is all other Gm midsized SUV's, Tahoe, H2, Escalade, Yukon, and that H3is a Canyon, or Dakota. So, to buy Hummer, you would still have to have Gm build, and supply, and.............Ok. Now, assuming that Pontiac goes nowhere, then, the chances, are still pretty slim. Back in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, well, until the COT, or car of tomorrow, they actually used the production car, or, eventually the shape at least, and people recognized the cars, as they were on the street, or, say, the new car lot. Now, they just wear a nameplate, and run that manufacturers motor, which, isn't even one the public can access, anymore. To say that NASCAR dealt the automotive manufacturers a very bad hand, would be an understatement. They seem to have forgotten a lot of their roots, and those who, behind the scenes helped them build excitement in their once, more popular, sport. Sad. They tried too hard, to force a good thing, in my opinion.

44 people have died through NASCAR crashes since it was established. The number has dramatically decreased since the founding of NASCAR, but it still remains a huge threat to those considering entering the sport.

Dale Earnhardt Sr. died on February 18, 2001 at the age of 49.

Over the past ten Sprint Cup Series races at Martinsville Speedway, the average amount of caution laps per race has been 77 to 78.

Dodge is no longer affiliated with Nascar.

Robert "Bootie" Barker is the crew chief for Max Papis in the Nascar Sprint Cup Series. Bootie Barker is paralyzed from the waist down due to injuries he suffered from a car accident, back when he was a senior in high school.

Yes, he did. In 2010, Dale Sr. was one of the first five members to be inducted into the Nascar Hall of Fame. The others were Richard Petty, Junior Johnson, Bill France Sr. and Bill France Jr.

Tight is when you try to turn the car and it continues to go straight while the front wheels are turned. Loose is when the back of the car slides to the right when in a turn. Basically when you're tight you'll hit the wall with the front of the car and when you're loose you'll hit it with the back of the car.

The closest finish in the history of the American Race is arguably the first race in 1959, or the 2007 race. In the 1959 race, it took 3 days for the National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing to declare Lee Petty as the winner. In 2007, Kevin Harvick edged out Mark Martin at the finish line to win by 0.02 seconds or two-one-hundredths of a second. To see the video of the finish just click on the link below.

They do not. I think only Formula 1 does to protect the crowd. They go well over 200mph. When Bill Elliott first went over 200 at Talladega back when, NASCAR's answer was the restrictor plate, used to slow the cars down.

Kevin James LOVES The New York Mets. He also has the hats too

Yes Dale Earnhardt, Sr. married Brenda Gee in 1971. They had two children together, daughter Kelley King in 1972 and son Ralph Dale, Jr. in 1974.

Bill Elliott, 212 miles per hour at the Talladega qualifying in 1986.

Rusty Wallace also tested at Talladega for NASCAR in 2004 in an unrestricted car (no restrictor plate) and achieved a top speed of 228 MPH, and a one-lap average of 221 MPH.

In the Nascar Sprint Cup Series, Reed Sorenson drives the #74 car on a limited basis.

The first NASCAR rookie of the year was Blackie Pitt.

• Richard Petty- 7 (1964, 1967, 1971, 1972, 1974, 1975, 1979)
• Dale Earnhardt Sr- 7 (1980, 1986, 1987, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994)

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.

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.

As a fellow Mainer, I felt obligated to answer this question as we have and continue to follow Ricky Craven's career. He did indeed drive the #25 Budweiser car for Hendrick Motorsports in the late 1990s (1997/1998). Ken Schrader, Bill Elliot and Wally Dallenbach have also worn the Budweiser red and white in recent years.

Richard Petty won the Nascar Winston Cup Series championship in 1974.

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.

Jimmie Johnson has a high school degree from Granite Hills High School. Granite Hills High School is located in El Cajon, California.
