Jacques Villeneuve recently gave a big hint that NASCAR might be where his career heads now by saying:

Le Mans, sports cars, DTM, IRL, Champ Car? Well, I’m sorry, but they’re all a step down from F1. NASCAR isn’t.

You’d have to assume Villeneuve’s talking about the racing and not the technology!! B) At the end of the day though, I don’t see how you can say NASCAR is on par with Formula One. Sure, the racing is good, but so is the racing in V8 Supercars here in Australia. Are they equal to F1? No way!

The big problem with NASCAR is outside of the United States people have hardly even heard of the sport let alone get a chance to see it. Same problem with V8 Supercars in Australia. At least with Champ Car you get a degree of international coverage..
