There's actually a ton of technology in nascar (Which stands for National Association of Stock Car Racing). The aerodynamics were really getting to be a strong point and this was one of the reasons for the push to the common template. The small teams couldn't afford the wind tunnel and R&D time.
Oddly enough, the common template and restrictions have done nothing to help the smaller teams there. You still have what basically amounts to two or three teams at the top every year.
