Tough move pulling off the 3 finger right hand crimp, sometimes ths feels easy other times impossible. I've heard it called V5 to V8. Very tough after doing the traverse.

Brickyard, AKA: Black Streak

Same start as NASCAR but continue through cruxy moves to the second blunt and very steep arete, red-point crux comes pulling off of the right hand 3 finger crimp to a good left side pull that is actually terrible because you have nothing to oppose it with.

Instead of starting from a squat as for Dale Jr, do a full sit. A hard opening move gets one into the Jr version, once at the better hold, continue traversing right through the slot. Nice slopers along the lip and good feet allow passage, watch your head on the NASCAR boulder behind you. Upon reaching another positive hold as the lip starts to drop down and right top out.

Problem up shallow edges and dishes in center of south face on Nascar boulder. There are 3 or 4 lines that went up this side of the block ranging from v6 to v8. Nearly the same in quality , all straight up and all from various low starts. The most obvious is Talladega.

Doing the initial section of the NASCAR Traverse in Reverse proves to be possibly more difficult than the regular direction. 

  Start on the good shelf at the blunt arete where the short version of NASCAR tops out. Move left with difficulty, along slopers to the starting jug. From here top out up and left, kind of a pain getting your foot over the lip.

SDS on the obvious good edge and up to a sidepull and gaston. Then either pop for the lip or move out right to a sloping pocket and go for the lip with your left hand first. The top out is not a gimmie. 

A good gaston hold out right of the start broke recently, though some people did not use it anyway. So I'm not sure if this makes it harder or not. I was trying it with this hold several years ago and have not really tried the sequence without it.

Starting from a squat at the lowest/left horizontal section of the arete/lip, move right following the lip. Once you reach a better hold, somewhat positive, move up to top out using a hard to see jug pocket.

Start on two good edges about head height. Step up and left and rock over to the pretty pocketed chocolate slab. Climb pockets and scoops straight up the slab until it rounds over to the right.

Interesting pockets and some long moves on decent rock make this problem more worthwhile than it seems to be. 

  Start from high holds and follow pockets and ramps up and left until you can top out straight up to a bowl that a black streak blossoms from.

Starts at the far left of the sloper rail of NASCAR Traverse and goes right through few moves on slopey holds and scrunchy feet. However, instead of riding the whole rail, do a dynamic move straight up the first blunt arete using positive flakes. I've heard it called v5 and v6 but that likely is dependent on temps, get on it when it's cold for an easier time.

 Climbing the finishing arete from the stand rolls in at about v2.

Move up to a good edge with terrible feet. Then slap at some small edges on the slab above. Keep working your hands up the wide variety of edges untill you can stand on the edge that was the second hold, at this point cruise to the top. 

  While fun, this problem is quite sharp. There are a ton of holds and not everyone is going to use the same sequence on this one when they are working onto the slab.

Aka Nascar Stand. Start on the rail right of the first blunt arete and go straight up to a sidepull and a committing barn door move.  Really fun for being so short. 

The finish of Jesus Built My Stockcar. Start on good jug flake on the blunt arete and make a big move to slopey ledge.  An easy mantle follows. 

Start on the furthest left holds on the sloping shelf and traverse to the blunt arete, bail at V5 or do a few more moves untill you can reach up to a left hand sidepull with difficulty and do a commiting and difficult barndoor move to the lip. The mantle is not super easy.

Start on juggy patina lip of NASCAR boulder above the sloper traverse. Follow the lip rightwards, exit with mantel at good features where the V5 version of the NASCAR traverse finishes.

Reach right to a pretty good side pull, then with much foot funk reach up into a pair of very small crimps and punch for the top.  

  EDIT(per Rich H):Can also be started from a very low sit start just left of the arete.

The NASCAR boulder features a quality overhung sloping traverse with plenty of finishes.   The problems increase in difficulty (quickly) the further you traverse. 

  There are also plenty of other problems on nearby boulders that should be included in this 'area'.
