Is a drag racing car the fastest thing on earth?
Drag car:
The world record for a 1/4 mile standing start pass is 4.428 seconds with a speed of 336.15 miles per hour (540.98 km/h).
Space Transportation System (STS) otherwise known as NASA's space shuttles such as the Challenger and Columbia:
Speed: 7,743 m/s (27,870 km/h; 17,320 mph)
It is often related that Top Fuel dragsters are the fastest accelerating vehicles on Earth even faster than the acceleration of a STS. The top speed however of these two vehicles are polar opposites.
Dragster world record top speed of 336.15mph
STS can reach speeds of 17,320 (yes 17,320) mph
So I guess if you raced a dragster against a space shuttle in a quarter mile, the dragster would win that race. As to which is "faster?" I'd say 17,000mph takes the cake.

Who was the Formula One World Champion in 1952?
Alberto Ascari won the 1952 Formula One World Championship, the first of two, driving for Enzo Ferrari's Ferrari chassis with 36 points.
The following season he picked up a second championship!
No. Considering that the average race can generate well over $100 million for local economies the 6000 gallons (avg) used over a race weekend is well worth it. In addition, over a 36 race season this adds up to 216,000 gallons a year. When you take into account that the United states consumes 400 million gallons a day, it quickly becomes apparent how little impact NASCAR has. One season is equal to .00054% of what the country consumes each day.
