Pound for pound, NASCAR bars are not as strong as an X brace. They give you a little more room to work. X braces will also stiffen the chassis more.

The failure mode of NASCAR bars is to bend inside the cockpit. For an X brace to fail it must literally be ripped from the rest of the cage since it would take incredible force to stretch a bar along its length.
