Nascar can do fueling because they don't have open exhausts and super hot exposed engine parts right next to their refueling spouts so I don't think that's a fair comparison. I think that saying Indy can do it is a better comparison.

I also think that the refueling rigs that were needed to be safe cost a LOT of money to transport all around the world and that cost was a large part of getting rid of refueling probably more so than safety. The goal was to make F1 more affordable so smaller teams could run and that was a big reduction in cost.
