The behavior of a car in the snow is basically the same as behavior of a car at very high speeds on dry warm tarmac (ignoring aero for simplicity). The same stuff which happens on dry pavement at, say, 120mph happens at 30-40mph in the snow. If you don't have proper tires for the conditions the limits shift even lower. So, basically, if you're good high-speed dry pavement driver you should have no problem driving on dirt or snow, because it's basically the same shit: driving near the limit of available traction. So I'm surprised that professional racecar driver has a problem with some snow on the road.
Have you ever driven in snow?
To learn how to.

When a Nascar driver is crashing, someone who regularly pushes the limits of physics in a vehicle, get off the road if you don't know what you're doing in those conditions.

They don't get snow that often in Charlotte.
Coming from the upper Midwest, I learned to drive in snow. It's actually kinda fun to fishtail just a little bit to freak out the passengers.
I just don't get the difficulty some people have. Just slow the fuck down and don't be an idiot.

Yeah one of my colleagues said when he was young, they used to spin on purpose in large empty parking lots for fun.
They don't have the equipment to make it safe for drivers that have zero clue how to drive in those conditions.
What equipment would that be?

How many people here have never driven on snow? I just don't get the difficulty some people have. Just slow the fuck down and don't be an idiot.
