To my knowledge, they do NOT run NASCAR.

Those Vettes are about as close to street cars as the NASCAR Monte Carlo is to its street counterpart. They're tube frame racers with larger displacement motors.
I love ALMS and applaud their fan-friendly attitude, but all is not well there either. The prototype division is fractured in that the Audis had dominated P1, while from this year on you won't have a prayer in P2 if you don't have a Porsche RS Spyder. In GT1 the Corvettes are totally dominant, mostly because nobody is campaigning the Ferrari or Aston Martin cars in the US (I understand Aston will be here this season though). GT2 has been a 911 dominated category forever.
I hope and pray they will consolidate the classes, leaving only one prototype class and a stock-based GT class before the series begins to fall apart due to lack of participation.
