You think people would actually research for a question like this before blowing smoke. Here ar ethe facts. January 26, 1947, Red Byron won the inaugural National Championship Stock Car Circuit (NCSCC) that was started by Bill France that month. On December 14, 1947 Bill France met with 35 others who shared a concern for the future of stack car racing at the Streamline Hotel in Daytona Beach. They adopted a set of rules and Red Vogt coined National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR).

Here is a really cool article from Wikipedia that gives an idea of how Nascar was formed and the events that lead up to it.
......They were racing way before there was what is considered a Nascar race.

Full date for the race was February 15, 1948. Red Byron won a modified race on the Daytona Beach road course. The Strictly Stock series (which developed into today's Nextel Cup) didn't begin to hold races until June 19, 1949.

Who knows when and where the first stock car race was, however there were organized races before NASCAR was formed.
NASCAR was formed, I think, in '48, but I have no idea where the first official NASCAR race was.
