What's the big deal. Oval racers, Road racers. What about drag racers? Dirt Racers? They are all racers.
Personaly, I like Oval, but less people, why? It is harder to get a car to turn left and carry speed through the corner than you think.. If anybody thinks Oval is nothing but hitting the throttle and going, try it sometime. Then, put a touring car down with a nascar body and take that huge back whale tail of a wing off it and do it with a 1/2 inch spoiler sticking up.
And, Touring cars can run as fast as many pan cars with the right setup.
But road racing is fun it its own way, alot more room, slower speeds. I'm still learning, only been on a road track 4 times, so don't get too close
