As CTS said they run lockers at all tracks. Plate motors make around 450hp and open motors around 800hp. The Z06 wouldn't stand a chance at a plate track even though it has more hp. It doesn't have the aero that a nascar does.

i know that the nextel cup cars run lockers....
but just FYI... you guys have to remember that NASCAR is the name of the entire sanctioning body.. including everything from dirtrack ovals to modifieds to trucks, grassroots to pro...
the way some of you are referring to it in your posts, would be like me talking about "NHRA cars" making XXXX amount of power... just because the top fuelers do.

Thats a true statement... I reffered to the 3 premier divisions.... NNCS BGN NCTS most of the time people dont even know the BGN and NCTS series are even NASCAR series... forget about local late models and dirt track stuff...While NASCAR has some die hard fans they have some uninformed ones as well..I could go on forever on how I dont think NASCAR even gives a crap about the regional or local series.....

as far as difs, most of the stuff is lockers there are a few rachet styles still used sometimes.. most of the plate setups just run without outer oil seals other than that some suspension geometry and ratios its close to the same week to week
