    Why no Asian NASCAR drivers?

    Asian kids love cars, I see them souping up Honda Civics and street racing all the time.

    Their grandfathers were real good at flying airplanes during WWII.

    I keep reading about how Asians have the highest test scores in the nation, especially in math.

    Their small bodies aren't taking up a lot of room in those crammed cars, physical limitations don't matter w/ cars.

    There is already a woman NASCAR driver, why no Asians?

    NASCAR needs a Jackie Chan Robinson to break the color barrier. It will happen in your lifetime.

    Nailed it.

    F1 more about optimal speed/performance, NASCAR more about finesse and team play.

    Some guesses

    The Tokyo 500 would just be a pile of crashed cars after 2 laps.

    There is no Text book teaching you how to be a good NASCAR driver.
