They're not called "Nascars"

They're called "stock cars". NASCAR is an organization; the term is an acronym which stands for the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. The fact that the letters C, A, and R appear in this order is a coincidence. Calling a stock car a "Nascar" is like calling a football an "NFL".

Or like calling a football a soccer!

You Sir, are full of Win!

No one cares. They are "NASCAR" for us, just like it's a "soccer" for you.

This thread just opened my appetite to drive my NASCAR around nürburgring.

Yeah, I don't see this thread as ending anything other than badly.
