One of the most obvious examples of differences and similarities are the cars, with Formula 1 and IndyCar being similar and NASCAR being the odd-one-out. However, the differences and similarities go further than just the looks and the body design. Most people know that there are mechanical differences between the cars, but not many know the specifics. The Montreal Grand Prix website states, “While the F1 and Indy cars feature open wheels and an open cockpit, NASCAR drivers are enclosed in a sedan-styled vehicle. It’s also the heaviest of the three, averaging over 3,250 lbs (1,474 kg) compared to just over 1,500 lbs (680 kg) for F1 and IndyCar. The increased weight is carried by a 5.86-liter V-8 engine, whereas the lighter F1 and Indy cars …show more content…
While they all initially use ungrooved racing tires, if it’s raining, IndyCar and F1 apply grooved racing tires to overcome this challenge. In the aspect of cars, they have very few traits that they all share. Though IndyCar and F1 cars may have more similarities, NASCAR’s vehicles still have their similarities to the other divisions.
Other than the cars themselves, the three series have other comparable factors, such as their backstories. Each Motorsports division started in different regions. They were each started by different individuals or groups of people. According to NASCAR’s website, the sport became more popular after the end of the second World War. In 1947, Bill France formed the first branch of NASCAR or the modern “Monster Energy Series”. Later, in the year 1982, members of NASCAR made a new series, which was given the name the “Late Model Sportsman Division,” which later became the “XFINITY Series.” There is also a third series, the “Craftsman Truck Series,” or the “Camping World Truck Series” that was formed, which uses trucks instead of cars. The NASCAR website explains how the sport started and how it expanded with the two additional series that it added. When the sport started, there was no organization. However, as time went on, and because of men like Bill France, NASCAR became an organized and popular sport. “Founded in 1994, INDYCAR serves as the sanctioning body for the Verizon IndyCar Series...

Before the mid-1970s, NASCAR was never televised live. In 1979, the Daytona 500 became the first NASCAR event televised in its entirety. Since then, television has become the main branding medium for NASCAR, and it appears to be working well.
Many people have heard of NASCAR sometime in their life. It would be nearly impossible to not hear of it atleast once. It would be like someone saying they have never heard of the NBA. The problem is even the most devout fans don't know how NASCAR got to be. Many fans don't realise that moonshine played a huge role in the formation of NASCAR. It all started in 1920 when the United States outlawed the manufacturing and consumption of alcohol.
The tracks have also gone through a serious change. When NASCAR was born they raced on Sand and asphalt. The first Daytona 500 was a mixed terrain track consisting a stretch of the Daytona beach a closed portion of the highway. The tracks have multiple safety features to keep both the Drivers and the Fans safe during a crash.
First of all, Nascar is more electrifying because, it involves more than two cars. Other than Drag racing having two cars, Nascar has about thirty racecars or more! When a lot of cars are out at once, it can have the most prospects of wrecks. Every racecar driver can go all at once, than wait until one’s turn as in Drag racing does.

to Daytona Beach in 1935 to escape the harsh affects of the Great Depression. He formed the idea that people would enjoy to watch unmodified cars race. He put his plan into action and soon he had many race enthusiasts to come watch these dangerous high-speed races. Daytona Beach became known as the place to set land speed records. The beach was filled with racecar fans from across the globe. Fifteen records were set at the beach between 1905 and 1935. In 1936 the course began hosting racing events. Drivers raced a 1.5 to a 2-mile stretch of beach as a straightaway, and beachfront highway A1A as the other. But untrustworthy promoters would leave events with all the money before drivers were paid frequently victimizing drivers. So in 1947, he decided that racing would not grow until a formal sanctioning organization was formed, there were standardized rules, and there was a regular schedule and an organized championship. On December 14, 1947 France began to talk with other influential racers and promoters at the Streamline Hotel at Daytona Beach, Florida that concluded with the formation of NASCAR on February 21, 1948. With the help several other drivers of that time, its points system and rules were written on a bathroom napkin. The sanctioning body hosted their first event at the Daytona Beach on February 15, 1948. Red Byron beat Marshall Teague in the Modified division race. The first NASCAR "Strictly Stock" race ever was held at Charlotte
The idea for the Truck Series dates back to 1993. A group of off-road racers (Dick Landfield, Jimmy Smith, Jim Venable, and Frank "Scoop" Vessels) wanted a bigger audience for truck racing. They made a prototype for a NASCAR-style pickup truck. These were first shown off during the 1994 Daytona 500, and four demonstration races were held during the season. The first event at Mesa Marin Raceway had six trucks. The other three events were held at Portland Speedway, Saugus Speedway, and Tucson Raceway Park. Tucson Raceway Park held four events that winter, which were nationally televised during the Winter Heat Series coverage. These trucks proved to be extremely popular, and it led to NASCAR creating the series, originally known as the "Super Truck Series" in 1995.
These types of differentiation are often done through campaigns like the NASCAR 50th anniversary. Something that differentiates NASCAR from other competitors in the industry is the experience that fans get when attending a race. Fans that attend the races like the rush feeling that they might feel. This can include: live entertainment, possible crashes, and even danger at the events (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014.) NASCAR differentiates itself through connections with the media; diverse market segments, pursuing involvement in the Hispanic countries (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014.)
Electronic prescription facilitates prescribing and dispensing of medicines According to the doctoral thesis of Hanna Kauppinen, MSc (Pharm), electronic prescription has facilitated prescribing and dispensing of medicines and promoted medication safety in Finland. However, the functionality of electronic prescription in the physicians’ electronic health information systems and in the pharmacy data systems needs further development. Electronic prescriptions have streamlined prescribing Most of the physicians considered electronic prescriptions technically easy to issue because of the better availability of patients’ information and the paperless procedure.
The average driver doesn’t think about what keeps their car moving or what keeps them on the road, but that’s because they don’t have to. The average driver doesn’t have to worry about having enough downforce to keep them on the road or if they will reach the adhesive limit of their car’s tires around a turn. These are the things are the car designers, professional drivers, racing pit crews, serious sports car owners, and physicist think about. Physics are an important part of every sports and racing car design. The stylish curves and ground effects on sports cars are usually there not just for form but function as well allowing you to go speeds over 140 mph in most serious sports cars and remain on the road and in
The twisted, finger-like braches of the petrifying trees scrammed danger through my bran. Their compelling spell was cast upon like a king and his slave. Every hope i once had, every dram i once imagined, disappeared. As i stumbled along, an eerie fog swam around strangling the blood0splattered trees. A tormented whisper grasped the edge of every living thing, as if they were planning when i would meet my death. It filled my dreary head with droning confusion. The sound of twigs snapping around me, made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I ran, trying to get away from this torturous place. The darkness hit my face like a rock as i found myself in a narrow cave-like passage. A chilling sense dawned upon me as i trod to take inky surroundings.
So for years now, the car industry has been evolving. While it is getting bigger and bigger, it is also branching off to many other sub-industries. Among those industries, one of the most popular is the racing one. It has been evolving since it has started. And to say that it is very popular in this generation would be a huge understatement. Even while it is an industry of its own (Racing industry), it still has many different branches. For instance, when we talk about racing, we can have an endless discussion about how many different kinds there are. On the legal side of racing, we have organized activities such as NASCAR racing events, but if we want to talk about illegal racing ways, we can talk about street racing or drag racing on local streets. This however, will be discussed in the main part of this paper. So before getting into the meat of this paper – which is the driving question (“Why is racing important in the car industry?”) – We need to answer why talking about his is important to know about. So, why is this topic crucial to know about? Well for starters, racing has become one of the most popular activates that most teenage boys and professionals partake in. other than that, racing brings one of the biggest revenues economically to the table. Now this means better improvements in the car industry as a whole. While we are talking about improvements to the car industry, we can certainly talk about how sport and
People wondered about this racing many years ago. The cars were very different from today’s formula ones. The question of safety and also the atmosphere of racing was different. It was a risk to drive so fast and a lot of tragic accidents happened. Also the rules have been changed since the first race was held. The rules are very strict today for safety. According
