The Nascar Motorsports : What You Need To Know

The roots of NASCAR are related to the smuggling of alcohol in the U.S

. time of prohibition in the 1930s. In order to escape more easily to the police, the traffickers changed their cars to make them more efficient. Soon, wild races between smugglers were so organized. The stock car racing (literally "production car" or "production car") was born.

The stock car races are popularized, particularly in rural states in the southern United States, many associations have supported the organization of races, now perfectly legal. In 1948, Bill France was able to integrate these multiple associations under one banner; NASCAR. Other federations continued to hold stock car racing, USAC or as today's ARCA, but failed to make the shadow Empowered NASCAR.

The first championship under the aegis of NASCAR was organized in 1949. It was the Strictly Stock Division. As its name suggests, the idea of this championship was to confront models directly from the production standard. But gradually, the regulations were amended, allowing the cars away from the series. Today, if we still speak of "stock car" cars have very little to do with the models. It would be more accurate to speak of "silhouette", since cars are designed with a tubular frame made exclusively for the race, and body covered with a profile approximating a series model.

By 1950, the Strictly Stock Division was renamed the Grand National. Then in 1972, NASCAR opera a major change in its organization by creating the Winston Cup (named after a tobacco company) to make his main championship (the Grand National Championship).

Organized more efficiently than the Grand National, offering lucrative bonuses, Winston Cup (now Nextel Cup in 2004 following a change of sponsor) allowed NASCAR to grow in popularity.

Meanwhile, in 1982, the year of the creation of the Busch Series (now Nationwide Series), becoming a kind of second division of NASCAR.

Then in 1993, a group of pilots created prototypes of NASCAR-style pickup, the first demonstration took place at the Daytona 500 in 1994. These pickups retouched proved very popular, which led NASCAR to offer an official round. The first championship (1995) took the name Supertruck Series and Craftsman Truck Series. In 2009, following a change of sponsor, the series takes its name from Camping World Truck Series.

In 2008, the Sprint Cup (successor to the Nextel Cup again after a change of sponsor) has the honor of succeeding in the very early events of Bill France.

Already the most popular racing cars in the southern United States (its historical lands), NASCAR has become the king motorsports throughout the United States in the mid-1990s, benefiting in particular the devastating split between Indy Racing League (IRL) and CART (Champ Car).
