  Nascar and Indy cars are two different animals. Can't compare the two. Different weights, different handling, different fields of views, fenders, no fenders etc. Most of them in either class couldn't drive a sprint car. Also more Americans in Nascar that grew up driving the stock cars. American drivers didn't grow up driving Indy type open wheel cars.

  How would a F1 or Indy car fare when racing on the same track with a Sprint Cup car?
  
  don't forget ... rubbing is racing

  The only chance for rubbing would be as the F1 or indy car was putting the nascar driver another lap down.
  Just look at the average speed when they race at indy.
  There is a reason why indy cars dont race on the high bank super speedways, that reason is to much speed.

  You can bad-mouth Indy all you want. But don't even try that with street racing F1. I would like to see NASCAR guys try their hand at F1, say starting at Monaco.
  
  Mario being the exception

  
  nascar drivers with the exception of tony stewart, wouldn't know what to do with an F-1 car...
  anybody that doesn't appreciate what it takes to accelerate to over 200 mph, then have to slow down to a first gear hair pin will never get it.....

  Your vast LACK of knowledge is apparent....and also we know what race you DIDN'T watch this past Sunday.
  The Bush boys were 1 - 2 at SONOMA this past weekend.

  
  yes, that was a fun race to watch...
  I think kyle has the talent to be a good road racer in the fia....
  
  I make it a point to watch all of the nascar road races...they are the only interesting races on the schedule, including the xfinity series...
  at least the xfinity (when it was the busch series) would run in the rain with wet tires and windshield wipers...

  How many chances do you think it would take? Those open wheel cars will self destruct if they hit a grasshopper.

  you'd be surprised how much rubbing goes on in an f-1 race...
  
  in prototype and GT road racing there is a lot of beating and banging going on....
  the cars make as much hp as a nascar and weigh half as much....

  There's no comparison. F1 and Indy cars do everything right

  Please, a Nascar driver couldn't;t hold the jock of an F1 driver...Nascar is only interdasting when they turn right.

  Remember what an Indy car is, its an upside down airplane! Down force is about twice the weight, and yes very different than the bump and grind NASCAR. Thats why NASCAR can't run worth a crap at the flat Indy track!
