I seriously doubt a 14 year old could drive at 200 MPH on a NASCAR track with 42 other cars within an hour - at least withou killing himself or someone else. There is skill involved when racing any kind of vehicle on any configuration or track. There is more to NASCAR than go fast and turn left.

Because besides cheering our favorite driver (#16 for me), this is one of the other reasons that we watch NASCAR, and especially Talladega. Talladega is famous for "the big one", a huge accident. Happens every year. These guys are driving close to 200 MPH and are inches away from each other,
