With roots as regional entertainment in the Southeastern U.S., NASCAR has grown
to become the second most popular professional sport in the U.S. Internationally,
NASCAR races are broadcast in over 150 countries. It holds 17 of the top 20
attended sporting events in the U.S., and has 75 million fans 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 sport. The National Association for Stock Car Auto
Racing 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. Motor Racing
covers the history of this exciting and captivating sport and includes all
the significent drivers, events and memories. A must for every racing fan.
