No, you have the usual uninformed view of NASCAR.  Were you to throw off 
your vision of redneck bubbas running around in old moonshining cars you 
would discover that NASCAR engineeers are just that...engineers. 
Mechanical engineers, and damned good ones at that.  Just how do you 
think that the drivers are abla to survive crashes at the near 200 mph 
speeds that they drive these days?  Because of duct tape?  Not likely. 
Those cars are engineered to withstand the punishment that 500 miles of 
200 mph racing dishes out.  Think your Monte Carlo would do that?  It 
wouldn't even get near those speeds and if it were to crash would end up 
in a ball of cruched metal, and YOU wouldn't survive.  I think you owe 
the engineers of NASCAR an apology, and you owe yourself some real 
research into what it takes to build one of those cars.  Taint easy, you 
know.
