Race Direction
 
I don't understand....

Road courses seem to be run clockwise and NASCAR runs counter-clockwise?? Any thoughts as to why??

RTTAB:confused:

Driver position in the car. Ovals are a US deal, and CCW puts the driver away from the wall. Road racings origins were with Anglophiles, and righthand drivers, thus CW (easier to see the inside of the turns.

Now just who owns the track, eh? Can you spell France?

In all truth, I don't know about the current track. But the original street course (that runs up the hill past the Seneca) is CW.

McHank,
The Nascar guys are running the same direction as you and I at the Glen.
Can you imagine running the back straight at full speed and then going down hill without lifting? What a ride.
