Are all NASCAR cars the same?

Best Answers

To clarify Tyler's excellent answer which might be a little misleading--these cars are built by fab shops mostly in North Carolina and are identical. They have zero relationship to the "models" they are named after. When Tyler said only Chevrolet has RWD he was referring to the street car, not the race car. read more

In the IROC series, unlike NASCAR, the cars were all prepared by the same group and then randomly assigned to the drivers before each race in the series. The idea was that the identical cars would help determine the better driver. But Nascar does not follow that format. read more

NASCAR cars have to have similar shapes. It is a rule because, according to me, difference in shape means difference in drag and stability. These two things determine the car’s speed a lot. So, since the top speed of all the cars have to be nearly the same, the shapes are made similar too. read more

Well, they're all the same now because NASCAR created the COT (known as the car of tomorrow a couple of years ago). The cars are identical in structure, templates, etc. The brand names on them are no longer relevant to STOCK cars. For one thing, a 4-door stock car does not nor never did exist. read more
