There are many types of NASCAR flags available. Some flags have a novelty design that features the driver's image or car number. Others feature the driver's accomplishments and have their number and name on them. You can be certain to find the one that suits your needs, no matter what it is. Here are some examples:
Yellow flags
The yellow NASCAR flag, which is displayed during races, is used to signal drivers to slow down. It's used for many reasons. These reasons include a major pile up, hazard, or bad conditions. It can also occur if competitors are traveling below the speed limit. A caution flag can be used to help with team repair during a race. If a car is damaged or loses oil, it will receive a red flag.
Red flags
The red flag indicates the end or beginning of the current session. It is different from the yellow, which signals the start of an event. If the red flag is displayed on a car, it must stop immediately in the pit or pit road area. You can have both the yellow flag and the red flag displayed together to indicate a restart. Often, a bad start will result in a red and yellow flag display. Drivers will be taken back to their starting positions.
Black flag
A NASCAR's black flag signifies that there is significant damage and that the driver must stop for repairs. For an official inspection and approval, the driver must return to the pit area. The blue flag is used to indicate an issue farther down the track that is not necessarily dangerous. The blue flag simply means that the driver needs to slow down in order not to cause more damage. A yellow flag indicates a caution period. The stage is complete when the checkered flag is displayed.
Checkered flag
The Checkered Flag in NASCAR signifies the end of the race. A caution flag, which is either a red or white flag, indicates that the race has been halted due to unsafe conditions. Similar to a yellow flag but not waved during racing, a caution flag is also displayed. This flag, also called a consultation flag, means that the driver must meet with a NASCAR official at the pits in order to receive a penalty. The race is suspended after five laps. It also results in the driver being disqualified and, most often, disqualification.
Status flags
NASCAR status flags inform racers about the general course conditions at a race. The flags are usually accompanied by lights at different points on the track. A green flag for example indicates that there is no obstruction to the race track and the driver can begin. A red flag signals that the race was suspended. A yellow flag is used to indicate that the race has ceased due to safety concerns (e.g., a wreck).

This gives them an advantage as they can catch up to other racers at high speeds and then pull away again from them when they're not looking.
Most of the fastest cars are very light. They can accelerate quickly and achieve a high speed. However, this also means they have less power which limits how far they can travel in a short amount of time. Therefore, they must use energy efficiently.
Engines power most modern-day racing cars. These are similar to those found in normal passenger vehicles. These engines are powered by compressed air, instead of petrol. Because petrol is not powerful enough to give a car enough power to go fast, this is why these engines use compressed air.
