Here's an interesting story about the physics of NASCAR racing, as it's
described in a new book, and about the science teacher who wrote it to
"enliven" the science curriculum at public schools. The article doesn't
tell you much itself but there are some leads there for anyone interested:

The math of NASCAR:

LOIBCC * MAB = 10,000,000,000 DDLB

LOIBCC: Lots Of Identical Brightly Colored Cars

MAB: Massive Advertising Budgets

DDLB: Dupes Drinking Lousy Beer

DDLB, that would fit with the "Bud king of beers" logo as seen on some
NASCAR vehicles that most in the rest of the world would dispute IMHO.
