The "trucks" in NASCAR are purpose built races cars with a fiberglass shell that vaguely resembles the body of a truck. Real trucks and SUV's simply aren't built for speed, either aerodynamically or chassis-wise. 100-120 in a Camaro would be leisurely, but could you imagine trying to do that in a Hummer, or Jeep Wrangler, or heavy duty pickup?
