Approximately 34 people are employed by NASCAR

Additionally, the company offers generous parental leave policies that encourage employees to take time off work for their children's healthcare appointments.

America is counter-clockwise when it comes to races
American tracks run counter clockwise. European and British racetracks are run clockwise. This is how automobile racing was started. It's actually a more attractive view to spectators. The racing was made counter-clockwise only when the automobile became more popular in the United States.
This is because horses naturally run in a contra-clockwise way. Romans and Ancient Greeks raced opposite directions. However, in most parts of Europe races were run clockwise. The United States finally reversed the clock, following the European tradition.
Oval tracks are more efficient than circular tracks
The primary difference between oval and circular tracks is the track's shape. Oval tracks are much faster than circular tracks. Oval tracks are faster than circular tracks because spectators can see the entire race and not just the beginning or the end. Oval tracks can also lower the centrifugal force that impacts the cars, which allows faster speeds. This is crucial for NASCAR Racing as it all revolves around speed.
Oval tracks offer different banking options and road conditions to circular tracks. They are also very different in their size. There is usually one turn at each end and up to four turns on an oval track. You may also have different banking options.
