Has anyone besides me noticed the extreme positive camber on the inside (driver's) side of the NASCAR front wheels at Bristol? The top of the tire leans OUT relative to the bottom and relative to the rear tire (which, being solid axle, is presumed to be relatively straight up and down). The ONLY time the tire appears to go to some negative camber is in the high banked turns, due to the extreme cornering forces. The left front appears to have a static camber of about positive 10 or 15 degrees! I know Bristol is unique, and surely this combination "works", but I'm having a hard time thinking that far "outside the box" in figuring out how the teams came up with this kind of suspension setup??? I would think the cars would be undrivable on pit road and the straights.

Pretty common for them to run positive camber on the left side front. In cornering, the geometry straightens it up, since they run such soft springs, and the suspension compresses.
