Daytona 500

[Richard Tanner]

As others have explained, you usually have to let up on the gas in a stock car. What's interesting about F1 and indy car racing, is that you don't have to lift off the gas that much. THose cars generate a huge amount of downforce, as they are basically an overturned airplane wing, so much downforce that they could be driven upside-down if need be. Stock cars can't, and therefore it takes a little more "driver skill" to win those races.
