Infineon Raceway Question Lap Times
 

I am thumbing through and see a Nascar race on Speed ( Not a follower of Nascar)

At Infineon Raceway with the track configured the same way what are good lap times between the American LeMans series cars and the Nascar cars.

Patrick Long in the stock car, Ford I think, bumped a guy on the last lap and the win was turned over to the guy behind him. The guy can drive!

Question:
What's a good lap time for him in a stock car VS the Porsche at that track with the same track configuration?

Are Porsche's faster ? they look more capable. ??

Only NASCAR uses the turn 4 bypass and 'chute'.

Everyone else uses the 'Sportscar Configuration' with the occasional turn 8a bypass and turn 9 chicane for the 'Indy' type cars.

Motorcycles use the short turn 11 bypass to keep riders out of the tire wall.
I think the IRL cars use short turn 11, as well.

The NASCAR record is Jeff Gordon with a 1:15.9, @ 94.3 MPH, in qualifying.

Speed GT went to Sears Point in 2006 and ran the NASCAR configuration, the Pole was 1:17.943 @ 91.9 MPH in a 911 GT3.

Full course record is an Audi R8, 1:21:6, 110.6 mph. I'm happy to have finally broken 2:00.

Wait, you saw something with Patrick Long, the Porsche factory driver, in a Ford stock car?

Huh?

The fact he was in a stock car stopped me, an got me to watch the race I am not a follwer of Nascar. I'll watch any type of road course racing, F1, tricycles, big wheels any thing else.I'm not an oval guy.

Just interested in the performance comparison. Between a GT3 RSR and a stock car on a road track.
