NASCAR is the pinnacle of stock car racing in the world and one of the most popular forms of motorsports in existence. NASCAR or the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, was conceived on December 14, 1947 by American businessman Bill France Sr. in Daytona Beach, Florida. Being a racing driver himself, France Sr. was keen to conduct racing in the U.S. as an organized sport. His efforts led to the first-ever NASCAR race at Daytona Beach on February 15, 1948. Robert “Red” Byron won the race and became the first NASCAR champion in the same year. That was just the beginning as the sport expanded to conduct annual events in Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and Europe.
