Oklahoman asked in SportsOther - Sports · 1 decade ago

Are there backup drivers in NASCAR? Or does one driver do the entire race?

I know this seems like a dumb question, but I don't know that much about NASCAR. I've tried to research this online, but I haven't gotten any definite answers.

    yes. Most drivers race the whole race but there are start and park drivers who are under funded teams who only run 20 laps. Now if a whole race driver is not feeling well and can not run the full race a back driver will run the rest of the race.
