Nascars are biased against slow mechs.

just run directly at the enemies and the nascar stops pretty abruptly.
So I never tried running at them...
But in one recent game of Canyon Network I started the game by switching one leg for one kill, and was left with a one legged assault mech to Nascar with...
I planted myself like a turret in the top-left corner of D5 to face the Nascar, aiming at the full 11-man enemy team about to Nascar straight into me from D4 with only my rotary cannons in their way... and the match finished 12-3 so fast that it left my team (probably both teams) posting confusing comments about their fastest Canyon Network match ever.
I even survived that match, without doing or receiving much damage other then my first and initial first kill : Basically I stopped the 11-strong enemy Nascar dead in their tracks in D4, and my own 11-strong Nascaring team came crashing straight into their backs, with instant devastating results.

Nascars going to happen, so maybe try to think of ways to take advantage of it.
A recent thing I have been doing on Canyon Network, is positioning off to the side so when the enemy team nascars and walks up the ramp (d3 I think), I pop out and shoot their backs in my dakka assualt.
D3 is a classic : But usually a smart light or more will break off the Nascar to come kill you.
The right way to take advantage of QP Nascars, is to bring a Nascaring Mech. Meaning a fast mech that will leave the ~55kph assaults in the dust. Which of course, results in more QP Nascar.

Seriously, as a light/medium pilot, I *LOVE* the overwhelming amount of NASCAR in QP, because it's a predictable maneuver I can counter-position for, and get easy flanking attacks on the enemy team.
Light/medium pilots love Nascar, because they have the speed to take advantage of them.
It's the assaults and slow heavies that lose out to Nascars, typically referred to by QP Nascar players as "our dumb Charlie lance".
And again, the best trick to winning QP Nascars, is to not be part of the Charlie lance.
