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)
“Computers are good at swift, accurate computation and at storing great masses of information. The brain, on the other hand, is not as efficient a number cruncher and its memory is often highly fallible; a basic inexactness is built into its design. The brain’s strong point is its flexibility. It is unsurpassed at making shrewd guesses and at grasping the total meaning of information presented to it.”
—Jeremy Campbell (b. 1931)
“Listen, my friend, there are two races of beings. The masses teeming and happy—common clay, if you like—eating, breeding, working, counting their pennies; people who just live; ordinary people; people you can’t imagine dead. And then there are the others—the noble ones, the heroes. The ones you can quite well imagine lying shot, pale and tragic; one minute triumphant with a guard of honor, and the next being marched away between two gendarmes.”
—Jean Anouilh (1910–1987)
