Or compared to most other motorsports. Stock car racing is risky, but it's more because the sanctioning body is run by a bunch of dinosaurs rather than anything inherent in the sport. They've made progress recently which is awesome, and I hate when the sport itself is sacrificed for safety (was re: Formula One being neutered after Senna died), but stock car racing (not just NASCAR in particular) is still in the stone ages safety-wise.
If you want danger, I'd definitely stick to MotoGP or WRC (my personal favorite - too bad no one has made a good rally sim since Mobil 1 Rally Championship). Heck, stock cars aren't even the most dangerous form of oval racing. I still cringe everytime I think about Greg Moore's fatal accident in the CART race at Fontana a few years back, absolutely horrific.
