Answer 2

Short answer is this. The santioning body of NASCAR was created by Bill France Sr. (Then a racer him self racing the old Daytona race on the beach and FL State Highway 1). He created this sactioning body with other racers of the time because the promoter of the Daytona race packed up shop.

NASCAR and the good 'ol southern boys (moonshine runners) met up by chance when Bill France Sr. decided to promote a grand national race in Charlotte.

As they say the rest is history. Bill France Sr. and his family have made NASCAR what it is today, through car development and rule changes.

Answer 3

In the first few decades of the 1900s, Daytona Beach became known as the place to set world land speed records. The beach became a mecca for racing enthusiasts and fifteen records were set on this beach between 1905 and 1935. Then, in 1936, the Bonneville Salt Flats became the premier place to host land speed record attempts, so the Daytona beach course began hosting car racing events. Drivers raced a 1.5 to 2 mile stretch of beach as one straightaway and beachfront highway A1A as the other.

Stock car racing had its origins in bootlegging during Prohibition. Bootleggers needed to distribute their illicit products, and they typically used small, fast vehicles to better evade the police. Many of the drivers would modify their cars for speed and handling, as well as increased cargo capacity, and some of them came to love the fast-paced driving down twisty mountain roads. One of the main 'strips' in Knoxville, Tennessee, had its beginning as a mecca for aspiring bootlegging drivers.

The repeal of Prohibition in 1933 dried up some of their business, but by then Southerners had developed a taste for moonshine, and a number of the drivers continued "runnin' shine," this time evading the "revenuers" who were attempting to tax their operations. The cars continued to improve, and by the late 1940's, races featuring these cars were being run for pride and profit. These races were popular entertainment in the rural Southern United States, and they are most closely associated with the Wilkes County region of North Carolina. Most races in those days were of modified cars. Street vehicles were lightened and reinforced.

Answer 4

As soon as the automobile was invented, men started to racing. This was a rich man's sport, and they closed down roads to accommodate them. But as soon as cars started to roll off assembly lines, racing became a working man's sport. But without the resources to shut down the streets, they went down to their county fair grounds, and raced on horse tracks - hence all the left turns. (another piece of trivia - why do Americans turn left in horse racing? It dates back to the Revolution, they wanted to do everything differently than England, in England they make right hand turns since most of the jockeys are right handed)

As mentioned, the daredevil drivers ran moonshine during the rest of the week, and the racing was for pride and bragging rights. This quickly became a spectator draw, and promoters charged admission for a purse to the winning driver. Promoters often left the track before the race was over, taking the purse with them. Bill France put the crooked promoters out of business, when he formed his sanctioning body.

Answer 5

The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) is the largest sanctioning body of motorsports in the United States. The three largest racing series sanctioned by NASCAR are the NEXTEL Cup, the Busch Series and the Craftsman Truck Series. It also oversees NASCAR Regional Racing, the Whelen Modified Tour, and the Whelen All-American Series. NASCAR sanctions over 1,500 races at over 100 tracks in 39 states, Canada, and Mexico. From 1996 to 1998, NASCAR held exhibition races in Japan, and an exhibition race in Australia in 1988.

With roots as regional entertainment in the Southeastern U.S., NASCAR has grown to become the second-most popular professional sport in terms of television ratings inside the U.S., ranking behind only the National Football League.[1] Internationally, NASCAR races are broadcast in over 150 countries. It holds 17 of the top 20 attended sporting events in the U.S.,1 and has 75 million fans[1] who purchase over $3 billion in annual licensed product sales. These fans are considered the most brand-loyal in all of sports and as a result, Fortune 500 companies sponsor NASCAR more than any other governing body.

NASCAR's headquarters are located in Daytona Beach, Florida, although it also maintains offices in four North Carolina cities: Charlotte, Mooresville, Concord, and Conover. Regional offices are also located in New York City, Los Angeles, Arkansas, and international offices in Mexico City and Toronto, Ontario.
