Haha- they have to have breaks for caution laps and shit, but they're not really a priority at super speedways (like daga, Daytona, tex m speedway, etc)- those are the really huge tracks where it's all high speed, bumper to bumper, etc; but breaks are a huge deal at short tracks because the science of passing is way different there...they also do at least one road course race per year, and the driving is totally different for that. It's all about breaking and passing at the right moment.
It's kinda interesting. The different types of tracks require totally different driving skills. The lineup is even different.
The shit thing is, that sometimes a win depends solely on building the best car, which is why the best sponsored/funded teams tend to dominate. Even supposedly indi teams often have engines from heavily sponsored teams (boo Stewart haas with their Hendricks motors)...
It is cool that the tracks are all so different though...I mean, to spank bitches at every track, a driver would have to be able to adjust to completely different styles of racing, with a car that handles differently.
