What kind of controls are people using for nascar?

I started with the keyboard, but didn't like it, I seem to have better
success with the joystick. How about a Steering wheel set-up? Anyone
using that? How is it? Whats is cost?

Me?  Thrustmaster M-1 Joystick.  I can't afford a wheel (yet).  

Yeah, I tried using the keyboard once (and only once while I was sober -
if you can believe that) and won't do it again.

My team mates in the NASCAR Racing League both use wheels and say that
they're a heck of a lot better than using a stick.  Cost: about $110
(approx) for a Thrustmaster T-1 wheel/pedal combo.  This is an economical
setup and is fairly reliable and common.  I do know a guy who makes
hi-grade wheel/pedal combos for $250 (approx) a copy.  But those are
high-end models.  

Hopefully, I'll win one in the league.  (They're offering one at the end
of the season; it'll be a raffle - every race you run is a chance you get
in the raffle.  Should be interesting).
