    Here is a quite technical article comparing race engines used in NASCAR to the V8 engines used in Formula 1 before the present formula, most famously made by---Ferrari.

    Not a great article. It speaks in broad strokes with assumptions and generalities, many of which I do not at all agree with. It appears to be clearly written by a nascar fan. Comparing the two serious in any way whatsoever is a lame exercise to begin with as it's like comparing a biplane to a modern fighter jet with the rules being what they are. In short: a total waste of time.
