So how is the deductible covered, since I've never raced professionally. Is there insurance that I buy, or do I have to give them that amount of money?
Also, do you know if I will be able to buy a stock car like the ones that they use in NASCAR, or would I have to buy one of them ugly ass ones that they use in short track?

They hold a deposit (I think its $1000) which is then spent once you wreck the car. You also sign a contract, so if you wreck again they have you legally liable for the deductible (either your $1000 deposit, or say if its gone up to $5000, they you owe $4k on top of what you paid already). If you don't pay you can't drive, and I'm sure they'd happily sue as well.
As for going NASCAR racing, honestly you should check around at some amateur NASCAR forums, what I've shown here is about the extent of my knowledge. I known theres like the Whelan All American series (
http://localracing.nascar.com/series/3 ) which is like a junior NASCAR before you'd move up to ARCA, thats where you need to start. Check out the Forums there maybe you can find someone who can point you in the right direction to start the Whelan series.
If you want to be a NASCAR driver (and youre hell bent on not buying a Kart) , after youve done Skip Barber, this is where your money is best spent. Anything else is a waste.
