National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) is the most popular and top level Sprint Cup Series. It is held twice in a year. S in NASCAR stands for Stock that is standard conventional cars are used for racing, and races are held on oval tracks. Whereas, IndyCar is an open-wheel, circuit racing game, and has similar tracks like NASCAR, but it has more even splits between oval and split courses. IndyCar race cars have open cockpit and wings on the front and rear side. Both the races are held at Indianapolis Motor Speedways and are alike in nature.
