NASCAR: go wild!

NASCAR, an acronym for the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, is a popular American auto racing sanctioning and operating company known for its stock car races. Founded in 1948 by Bill France Sr., NASCAR is best known for the NASCAR Cup Series, its premier series featuring powerful, modified sedans that race mostly on oval tracks. These high-speed, close-quarter races are characterized by tight pack racing, making NASCAR events thrilling and often unpredictable. Key races include the Daytona 500, known as “The Great American Race,” which is the most prestigious event in the NASCAR calendar. NASCAR holds a deep cultural significance in the U.S., with a dedicated fan base and a tradition-rich history.
