A lot of them have been fairly successful at outracing the road course "ringers" on a consistent basis.

There have been instances of "ringers" winning in the Nationwide series. Ron Fellows won several Nationwide races at the Glen.DVR . . . . . Life is too short to watch commercials.

Im very interested to see Nascar on a road course.
I've only been interested in NASCAR for a few months, but already loving it. and as my first road course watching experience, I hope it will be good-like a bigger bulkier version of BTCC, but hopefully funnier.
Im cheering on Montoya this weekend as an F1 fan I want a former F1 driver how good F1 drivers are.Congratulations Sebastian Vettel. Champion of the season of seasons.

Love the road course races. Was at Sonoma a few years ago at the top of turn 2 and it was funny to see Tony's car go by successivly more and more dented in as the race went on. I think a crazed version of BTC is a good comparison.

Hey, I'm a fan of Robby, Boris, Fellows, (but not Pruett) and many others from the road racing group. However, I think that Jeff Gordon and Tony would be the favorites in any Nascar road race. They have as much road racing talent as the others. Rusty was pretty good also.
