Number of Races
The schedule of NASCAR typically includes over twice as many events as most racing series. This is possible due to the inexpensive, team-built racecars of NASCAR as opposed to the factory-supported vehicles of other series. Also dominant in NASCAR is the repeated use of major venues such as Daytona or Talladega, whereas other series seldom use one venue more than once (although the Rolex Sports Car Series often uses Daytona and Watkins Glen twice each, one for the endurance race and one for a standard-length race). This can be explained by the races being a major headliner, as well as the venues having very few other major series use the venue (only NASCAR, IndyCar, and Grand Am use ovals, with Grand Am only using typically three or so per season).

Famous quotes containing the words number of, number and/or races:
“The Oregon [matter] and the annexation of Texas are now all- important to the security and future peace and prosperity of our union, and I hope there are a sufficient number of pure American democrats to carry into effect the annexation of Texas and [extension of] our laws over Oregon. No temporizing policy or all is lost.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“In this world, which is so plainly the antechamber of another, there are no happy men. The true division of humanity is between those who live in light and those who live in darkness. Our aim must be to diminish the number of the latter and increase the number of the former. That is why we demand education and knowledge.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“Late in the afternoon we passed a man on the shore fishing with a long birch pole.... The characteristics and pursuits of various ages and races of men are always existing in epitome in every neighborhood. The pleasures of my earliest youth have become the inheritance of other men. This man is still a fisher, and belongs to an era in which I myself have lived.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
