Who is better Jeff Gordon or Dale Earnhardt Sr.?
Both men were, and are great drivers. Since Dale died in 2001, it would really be hard to say. If you were talking about Dale Jr., he's a good driver, but not in the league with Gordon, an all time great.

What impact do the different size tracks have on NASCAR racing?
Well, the cars need a track to race on. If it was just a dirt track, the cars' tires wouldn't get any grip. So they made tracks with concrete or asphalt pavement. NASCAR tracks also impact racing from all of the people it can hold. If it has a lot of seats, more people can come and watch it and some people might have never seen NASCAR before, so then they would become a fan if they wanted to and so on.

How do NASCAR pit crews change wheels?
During a routine pit stop in either series, the tires are laid out and three of the four tire changers are pre-positioned before the car enters its pit stall; the fourth tire changer, whose responsibility is the rear tire on the far side of pit road from the pit wall, doesn't take his position until after the car arrives, due to a rule against having the car run over the feed hose for the impact wrench used to change the tires.Simultaneously, the four tire changers remove the tires and install the new ones. Once the tire changes are complete, the front tire changers may use manual adjusters to adjust the angle of the car's front wing.
