the 43 cars
Gold star. Wait, I'm sorry. That should be the Cheerios Dodge star. (Yes, I had to look up a damn team that ran a yellow-ish livery. I am Buffista, I am pedantic.)
I *think* baseball has a bigger overall turnout in season and Nascar tops on per event turnout. But I kinda zone when they talk about it, so I am not certain.
The cars, whether in Nascar or Indy, are awful from an environmental standpoint but I am certain that they leave a much bigger carbon footprint just transporting people and equipment throughout a season. The freight is ... boggling, really.
Do NASCAR fans drive longer distances in bigger cars?
Many of them do drive great distances in RVs and camp out before the race.
ETA: Oh yeah and the freight. You don't just bring one car to the race. There are many trucks and trailers and buses for each team.
Weeks at Daytona!
And, generally, at least four days for your average race weekend.

Craziness! At least two cars and parts to make another two for each entry. It's boggling.
Those haulers are really nice though.
I snark teal and get caught up talking racing. I kinda dig Buffistas.
They did an interview last year with the dude who drove Junior's car around the country. He was a sweetie.
Most of the people I've met or known around racing have been really the nicest people.
Plus? Parking those rigs all parked with less than an inch between? Impressive. Phenomenal cosmic hauler, itty-bitty parking space.
NASCAR related: Have you guys seen this chocolate bar? And am I the only one that giggles at its name?

The issue about words for colors is so much bullshit, IMHO -- there are millions of shades of colors that humans can see, and we don't have words for them all -- hence when you get into web or digital or print design, you start using RGB values.
The more important question to ask about languages and color words is whether the culture
thinks
the differentiation is necessary between two colors.
ita, can you eat mascarpone? Because it is of the yum!

That differentiation can be on a personal perceptual level. There are lots of purple/pink, purple/blue, yellow/green hues that I have had arguments with others about. Especially about the colour of tennis balls. I say they are green, everyone else seems to think they are yellow.
