I think they are. I know little about NASCAR, so I might not have the particulars correct, but I do think that the fuel (ethanol I believe), the engine displacement, carburetors, etc. are all very tightly controlled so as to make all the cars nearly equal in terms of engine performance. The idea being if all the cars are the same, then the best driver will win. Similar regulations exist for the profile of the car, the rear spoiler, etc. There's really nothing "stock" about NASCAR cars anymore.
