I greatly admire the amount of fabrication and engineering that goes into building a NASCAR car, but that is all dialed in and allmost a science now.
You obviously have not followed Nascar very closely or you would not make the statement about being dialed in. I think every Cup driver and crew chief would tell you up front that nothing is dialed in. These crews make changes from start of race to the end trying to get their car "dialed in". Most never do. Track conditions change over the course of the race and so does their setup.

If in NASCAR rubbing is racing, in KOH they dont rub, they will drive right over your car if they cant ram it out of the way.
There are tracks that rubbing is all that the cars can stand without major damage. There are tracks like Talledega and Martinsville where ramming is just a part of racing.

Rumor has it that Danica Patrick is actively trying to get a ride with Penske racing probably on a limited basis for 2010.
