The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR), was conceived on a bar room napkin. The bar to which the napkin belonged was known as the Ebony Bar, which was located at the Streamline Hotel in Daytona Beach. The conversation from which the napkin gained import was held in 1948 by both drivers and promoters of local stock car races. It's reported that stock car races began as early as the 1900's in the Daytona Beach area. The meeting, and the napkin, might never have come to be had a mechanic named William France, Sr. not have moved to the Daytona area from Washington, D.C. in 1935. By 1936, he, too, had been captured by the sport, and even managed to finish fifth in a local race. Mr. France was moved to participate in such a meeting after his stint in racing for two reasons: a) he believed the sport had a potential for a following, and b) he believed the drivers were being mistreated by unregulated promoters who simply chose not to pay them.
Since its inception in 1948, NASCAR has grown, involving itself in various types of racing in various locations across the country. Likely a portion of NASCAR's incredible success has been its versatile ticketing system. Not only does a fan with a NASCAR ticket have access to the largest stock car race in the country, that fan also gets to have fun at a national racing series, of which there are three: the Sprint Cup, the Nationwide Series, and the Craftsmen Truck Series. That same ticket also allows access to regional fun, such as the Whelen All-American Series (amateur auto racing); the Whelen Modified Tour (NASCAR modified division); and the NASCAR Local Racing (four geographic series).
NASCAR: THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME
NASCAR has expanded from Daytona Beach, Florida to all around the world. Exhibition races have been held in two countries, and the sport is currently broadcast in over 150 countries all over the world. NASCAR's fans have made it so popular that it is currently the second most popular sport on television - second only to the National Football League. NASCAR fans contributed to almost three billion dollars in product sales last year. Even Fortune 500 companies are getting into the act. Despite this popularity, however, NASCAR appears to prefer its roots. NASCAR, it would seem, recognizes what its local and loyal fans have done for it, and has decided to maintain its major corporate presence right where it began: in Daytona Beach, Florida, as well as several offices in North Carolina. Despite its international attention, it has but two offices overseas.
