There's not many rules in a nascar race. Start your engines, hit the gas when the checkered flag flies, go in for pit stops for gas and tires when needed, and yeah, not too many rules.
Street Luge
Street luge is an extreme sport involving riding a street luge board down a paved road or course. Street lugers ride modified skateboards in the supine position. Race courses are usually held on mountain roads but have been held on city streets as well. Courses can range in length from half mile to three miles and vary in layout.

Street luge is much like NASCAR racing in my opinion. It requires quite a bit of steering and the knowledge of turning at high speed. But to me, street luge is harder. They are not in the comfort of a seat with doors around them. They are lying down on a modified skateboard and flying over hills. There are points where being able to stay in quite a challenge. We should commend them for their balance, agility, and reflexes.
Bed Racing
A race team consists of 5 people. One member of the team must ride on the bed at all times.
Steering: Provisions must b e made to steer the bed. May include a mechanism to steer the front two wheels, or a combination of rotating caster wheels on the front and fixed casters on the rear. Motors or other special attachments which in the view of Race Officials give an unfair advantage or create safety hazards are not allowed.
Beds may not be pulled by ropes or chains.

Bed racing, although not as fast-paced, can still be compared to NASCAR. The racers are not in a sturdy machine but instead on a rickety bed that they have to push manually. The racers also do not get the privilege of simply pushing a peddle and accelerating. They need to run faster to be able to move any faster. We should commend them for their effort and determination.
