They're hardly what I think either of us would call a "stock car" even though the term is supposed to be directed at a production based vehicle.
thats how nascar used to be...take a car, do some backyard mechanic mods to it and go run at the track. research some old nascar stories from the legends and you will find alot of crazy stuff. stories about stealing there fathers car and going to run the races. buying a car on the way to the track and getting there and running it. thats what nascar used to be, a bunch of nearly stock cars with a bunch of "free" mods that some redneck did.

and how exciting would it be to see 43 miata's in stock trim with some basic bolt-ons go around talladega for 500 miles???? about as exciting as a sack of dead babies in the bottom of a septic tank.
