NASCAR TRIVIA

NASCAR  - the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) is a family-owned and operated business venture that sanctions and governs multiple automobile racing sports events. Auto racing is one of the most watched sports on television today. Bill France Sr. founded NASCAR in 1947-48.  Brian France, grandson of the late Bill France Sr. is the current CEO for the company.

NASCAR is the largest sanctioning body of stock car racing in the United States.  The three largest racing series sanctioned by NASCAR are the Sprint Cup, the Nationwide Series and the Camping World Truck Series. NASCAR also oversees NASCAR Local 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. NASCAR has presented exhibition races in Motegi City, Japan, Suzuka City, Japan and Melbourne, Australia.

NASCAR's headquarters are located in Daytona Beach, Florida and it also maintains offices in four North Carolina cities: Charlotte, Mooresville, Concord and Conover. Regional offices are also located in New York City, Los Angles, Bentonville, Arkansas and international offices are in Mexico City and Toronto.  Owing to its southern roots, all but a handful of NASCAR teams are still based in North Carolina (home of Hedgecock Enterprises) especially near Charlotte.
