Definition: acronym: NASCAR stands for the "National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing"
This North American auto racing series was started in the American southeast by Bill France Sr.
NASCAR sanctions multiple racing leagues throughout North America. The NASCAR NEXTEL Cup and NASCAR Busch Series race full-bodied cars that vaguely resemble four-door production vehicles. The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races vehicles that resemble pickup trucks. NASCAR also sanctions regional series and a national short track racing series.
Most NASCAR races are on ovals of varying sizes with only a couple of road courses.
