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.
A race that starts on one night and ends on another? NASCAR doesn't run that kind of race.
Given that, NASCAR drivers use the same cars for night races as they do for day races, but they wouldn't use the same car for the Coke Zero 400, which is at Daytona, as they would the Irwin Tools Night Race, which is at Bristol, or the Coca-Cola 600, which is at Charlotte, because the tracks are so much different. (A NASCAR team has about a dozen cars to choose from and they're all set up differently for different track conditions.)

What did a 1973 Nascar race car look like?
Same as a 1973 street car.
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.
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).
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 pole sitters have also won Nascar Cup Series races on the same weekend in 2011?
Through race #19 of the 2011 season, only Nascar Cup Series driver Ryan Newman won the pole and the race on the same weekend, that was at New Hampshire Motor Speedway during July 15th through the 17th. On July 9th, Kyle Busch won the Cup Series race in Kentucky after being awarded the pole due to qualifying being rained out. The starting lineup was set by owner's points.
What is considered the lead lap in NASCAR?
Any car that is on the same lap as and has not been passed as the race leader.
Who is Austin Dillon?
He is a Nascar driver who competes in the truck series, in the #3 truck. The same truck that his grandfather, Richard Childress, owns and operates.
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.
Did any Nascar driver win both the Cup Series and Nationwide Series championships in the same year?
To date no one has yet accomplished this feat.
Which driver won the next race at the same track where his father was killed?
Dale Earnhardt Jr. :-)
