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).
