The cars are always re-used, if possible. Say, for instance, Daytona 500. That winning car has to go right into the museum at Daytona speedway. Or, if it gets destroyed beyond repair, it may end up on the tour circuit. At the Local Chevy dealer we used to get Kevin Harvick's car for a weekend, once in a while, to pull in traffic. I usually had to get the damn thing started, and running, to get in in, and out of the trailer. Those were usually cars that were raced, bent up, and used for advertising. The motors are rarely re-used, without at least being gone through completely.

Why is NASCAR not considered a sport?
Nascar doesn't involve any direct movement from the participant...only steering. Also there isn't any two teams competing, everyone is competing at the same time. It is also a race not a sport with goals or end zones.
Do the same officials attend all of the Nascar Sprint Cup races and do the race tracks pay for their services?
Most of the officials attend every race. Like any job from time to time someone will not be able to work a race. The tracks do not pay them, they are payed by NASCAR.
How many drivers on the same Nascar team can compete in a race?
A Nascar owner can have up to four race teams competing in each race. Each race team will have a designated driver for that certain car number for that weekend. There are teams that use multiple drivers throughout the season. For example, Michael Waltrip Racing fields three cars, (#15 - Clint Bowyer), (#56 - Martin Truex Jr.) and (#55 - Mark Martin, Brian Vickers and Michael Waltrip).

Why is it like you are watching a bad Japanese movie when watching a live interview at the end of the Nascar race?
You hit that nail right on the head. I was thinking the exact same thing. But all joking aside, obviously there were major technical difficulties during the Coke Zero 400 Nascar race on July 7, 2012.
