Last I checked, NASCAR ran on closed tracks, where normal street driving laws do not apply.
I think Ilenart answered the question regarding the fleet.

I didn't say that posting a bond or buying insurance wasn't reasonable. I said that it may sound the death knell for the sport of solo-racing. IMHO this would be a bad thing.

Perhaps NASCAR was a bad example - for two reasons. 1) as you stated: it is conducted on a closed track 2) any negative comment regarding the 'sport' is bound to offend the mouth-breathing enthusiasts of the spectacle.
