I imagine most of the skill in Nascar is mental. You can never let your brain fall asleep. 130+ mph being 12" or less apart from the next guy... can you even begin to imagine the reaction time neccessary? Yes, Formula 1 had much more physical strain, but the mental strain in Nascar would be incredible. To me, the stress involved in racing so dangerously close at those speeds for so long would be far more exhausting the getting tossed around in the f1 cars.
