NASCAR offers a level of competitive racing and parity that the other disciplines can’t match. While Formula One is often derided as a “parade” with little or no passing, NASCAR is a rough and tumble form of auto racing. In fact, NASCAR has an old adage that “rubbin’ is racin’ ” which its fans take to heart. Passing and lead changes are constant in NASCAR. By contrast, NASCAR is the longest season of the three disciplines with action from February through November.
