In a previous article, we looked at the question of how important the car is to any NASCAR race and team. As a follow-up, we\u2019re now going to take a look at the importance of the driver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
NASCAR drivers obviously play a vital role in a NASCAR team, however to achieve success in NASCAR it requires a whole team. The car, the mechanics, the organization and more all have vital roles to play. The drivers may get the attention, but they themselves put their importance to success as low as 35 to 20 %.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n It may seem like a silly question to ask how important a driver is in a car race, because surely without the driver<\/strong>, nothing would happen at all as these very expensive and very powerful NASCAR vehicles just sit on the track doing nothing for 3-4 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s try to put those feelings aside and take a more meaningful look at this question on the importance of the driver to a NASCAR team<\/a>, race, and the sport in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
