NASCAR

The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) league ranks only behind the NFL in terms of sports television ratings in the U.S. NASCAR's roots go back to Daytona Beach, Florida. In March 1936, the first stock car race was staged on the beach of Daytona. Drivers raced a two mile stretch of beach as one straightaway and highway A1A as the other.
