Sometime during the early 70's. They used to buy a car from the dealer or the manufacture supplied one, hop it up, put the roll cage in and go race. There all the same today. There are no more STOCK CARS OUT THERE. Did you se the pace corvette???it would have blown all those STOCK CARS away.

not since the 1950s. NASCAR drivers have been modifying the engines since the early days of the sport. hell, even before the inception of NASCAR bootleggers such as junior johnson had their cars modified by people such as the legendary smokey yunick so they could out run the feds.
note to the guy above me: the 'vette would beat the cup cars at daytona, yes. but only because the restrictor plates rob them of more than half of their horsepower. a corvette would be left in the dust by an 800hp cup car at any non plate track
