NASCAR as a Society

NASCAR is described as a governing body for motorsports. In other words, it is a government. But what kind of a government is it? One has to only look at its actions to see the sad truth about the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

NASCAR as a government is a lot of things all balled up into one. For starters, it is Socialist. Every car is generally the same. All cars must meet the template, and the engines are so close there is no advantage to any party. The facade, both figuratively and literally, gives the illusion that there is some discrepancy between the different manufacturers. They say there is a ton of competition in NASCAR because the cars are so close, but that is really a lie. When everyone is the same, it is not competition. Competition is when manufacturers develop new cars to try to be the best, forcing other car companies to make theirs better. That is true competition.
