As a racing enthusiast, I've often wondered why NASCAR doesn't run a race at Barber Motorsports Park. From what I understand, one main reason is that Barber Motorsports Park is primarily designed for motorcycle and sports car racing, and might not be suitable for the heavier stock cars used in NASCAR events. Additionally, the track's infrastructure and facilities might not be equipped to handle the vast crowd that typically attends NASCAR races. Furthermore, the current NASCAR calendar is already quite packed, making it difficult to add new tracks without disrupting the schedule. Finally, NASCAR has traditionally focused on oval tracks, while Barber Motorsports Park features a road course layout, which could be another reason for the absence of NASCAR events at this venue.

Do Formula 1 or Nascar drivers listen to music while racing?

16 Feb, 2023

Formula 1 and NASCAR drivers generally do not listen to music while racing due to the intense concentration and focus needed to drive a race car at high speeds.
