Oval racing is counter-clockwise to offer more protection and crumple the RH side and not the driver's side when hitting the wall..

I learned this the hard way 25 yrs ago racing a LH drive dune-buggy on a clockwise track...caught a trackside tree, snapped my Left Femur, spent 3 months in Hospital traction plus the next year in casts and learning to walk again.

Gives an all new meaning to break-a-leg. i wonder if it also has to do with the way horses were raced counter clock wise here in the states?
