F1 has straightaway speeds that are 150mph faster than corner speed

My mullet & beer comment was a joke!

I'm not knocking NASCAR, I'm knocking people who are knocking F1
Here I thought you were making fun of my hair...
Really though, think about the weight and aero advantages of the F1 car vs the NASCAR vehicle. I'm pretty sure that threshold braking exists at Martinsville. I see them smoke the inside front frequently if they overdrive.
Of course they threshold brake at Infineon and Watkins Glen.
Yes, F1 has some slower corners, but very seldom is there any passing, because it's always 1 lane wide unless you want to go ramping over the rumblestrips.
I like F1, but just like NASCAR, I'd like BOTH of them better if they got rid of most of the aero and ran Hard tires.
