Nascar
NASCAR is the acronym for National Association for Stock Car Racing. Owing to the fact that the cars used in NASCAR are actually stock racing cars, NASCAR is categorized in the stock car racing group. NASCAR attracts the greatest number of audience in motor sports racing in America. Not just in the United States, NASCAR is one of the most popular sports in the entire world. It is shown in more than one hundred and fifty countries all over the world. Not surprisingly, NASCAR is the second top regular-season sport that is broadcasted on television.
NASCAR was started by Bill France Sr. on February 21st, 1948. In the initial stage, there were three divisions, namely Modifiers, Roadsters, and Strictly Stock. Jim Roper was the winner of the very first race in the “strictly stock” division. It was organized at a dirt track three fourth of a mile long known as the Charlotte Speedway. This division has now grown out to become the NEXTEL Cup that we are familiar with now.
