Why are there only 43 cars in a normal race?

It was a slow evolution over time. There used to be no limits, but then they would have over 50 cars racing at some tracks. There is a good article at the link below. Enjoy.

the number has changed through the years, but as the sport has gotten bigger it has had to control the amount of cars on the track, esp the short tracks.
there is not room for a bagillion cars. pits/garage area/motorcoach parking and room for family and friends, and on the track.. the short tracks when they go single file almost wrap the whole track..
so for the safety of the teams nascar sanctioning has put a number on those who can race.
the top 35 in owner points automatically get to race. the other 8 have to qualify in from the entries..

At small tracks, that wouldn't work out because a lot of people get lapped. If there were more cars out there, they would get stuck. At larger tracks, they could give a little more cars.

in a half mile track, the leader can see the last place car just a couple seconds away

Formula One has even less cars per race.
