NASCAR / road racing issues

["James Tyson" <jftyson@domain.elided>]

Mr. Smith- Road racing tracks aren't "inherently superior to ovals for 
passing opportunities"-witness all the Mickey Mouse road courses in use in 
contemporary F1.Virtually all passing maneuvers on road courses  occur at 
corners where one driver outbrakes another,"power differential" has nothing 
to do with it.If the corner is too narrow or too tight there is no room for 
passing.Modern singleseaters are simply too wide.Your statement about driver 
skill in NASCAR being focused on aero effects is incorrect.Wing dimensions 
and angles are set by the sanctioning body before the race.What separates 
the successful NASCAR drivers from the also-rans is their ability to 
communicate with their crew chiefs during the race  to request chassis and 
tire pressure changes to improve handling.
