In Nascar, an owner is allowed to have a maximum of four cars (teams).
In a given year there can be 65+ teams, though not all of them are "full-time" teams (they only race partial season races)
Yes, very much so. Charlotte, North Carolina is home to the Nascar Hall of Fame and many of the teams race shops are also located there.
Until NASCAR changes the rules package or the manufacturer of the kind of car yours is supposed to be discontinues the car model you drive or leaves the series. Easy example: The three manufacturers in NASCAR Winston Cup Series (one of the old names for what is now Sprint Cup) were once Chevrolet, Pontiac and Ford. Then Pontiac left the series, and all the Pontiac teams had two years to change their cars to a different brand. Most changed to Chevrolet. A similar thing happened when Buick left the series. The NASCAR rule book used to allow you to build a car patterned after any midsize two-door American car, so they had rules for a lot of cars no one would ever actually build. If you built a Cadillac Coupe De Ville stock car they would have let you race it. They had all the dimensions for the measurement templates you'd need. A race team has to notify NASCAR every time they build a stock car, and if you were to inform them you were going to build a Cadillac stock car they would make two sets of templates and send you one set. They don't do that anymore. Another: Ford used to campaign the Thunderbird. Then they discontinued the Thunderbird and started campaigning the Taurus...which caused NASCAR to give the teams two years to change to Tauruses. Teams have two ways to change cars: cut the sheet metal off the chassis and install new, or sell their old cars and build new ones. Several minor-league race series use old Sprint Cup or Nationwide Series cars.

A welded chassis would be one unit. A bolted chassis would have cross members that are removable.
People usually get into NASCAR by starting with an interest in motorsports, attending races, and following the sport on TV or online. In terms of becoming a driver, many start by racing in smaller leagues or go-kart racing, before working their way up to higher levels of competition like the NASCAR series. Connections in the racing community and sponsorship deals can also help aspiring drivers get noticed by NASCAR teams.
Nascar came up with the Chase in 2004.

There are not to many threats to Nascar, unless Jeff Gordon wins at Talladega. And if you are a Nascar fan, you know what I mean.. But one threat is the economy.
There were 62 races in 1964, the most in NASCAR history for one season.
