Just why IndyCar drivers are better

Former CART IndyCar star turned NASCAR 'lazy' racer (termed coined by Niki Lauda) AJ Allmendinger admitted it was “a little scary" just how fast as IndyCar is on the soft red tires. Firestone’s red tires provide more grip than Allmendinger, a newcomer to the series, expected. “The commitment level you have to have to make the corners is insane," he said.

The reflexes and strength required to drive an IndyCar far exceeds that of driving a stock car on so many levels.
