Why doesn't NASCAR use real stock cars, close to what you get at the dealer?

NASCAR: cars they race are far from stock: rear wheel drive, straight drive trans., carburetors, etc.
should be: front wheel drive, V6, fuel injection, automatics
That is what we drive on the street.
I don't have a problem with the roll bars, fire extinguishers, and other safety equipment. (these should be on passenger cars too.)
 
If you want to see that type of racing, check out the SCCA sedan series. You will see cars that start as showroom production cars, added safety equipment, wheels and tires, and go racing.
 
NASCAR has been evolving for almost 60 years. There are too many people making way too much money to return to they days of racing cars that can be bought at a dealership.
 
The engines, transmissions and bodies are too weak to withstand the demands of Nascar.

Car dealers sell cars, not stock cars. Stock cars are what we race in Nascar.
