Stock Car Racing
Stock car racing is a form of automobile racing found mainly in the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Great Britain and Brazil. Most of the races are traditionally run on oval tracks measuring approximately .25 mile to 2.66 miles (about 400 meters to 4.2 kilometers) in length, but the road courses have gained popularity in recent years testing all of the skills of both driver and crew.
NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) is the world's largest governing body for stock car racing, and its NASCAR Sprint Cup Series is the premiere series of stock car racing, followed closely by it's second tier series, the NASCAR Nationwide Series. Races are 200 to 600 miles (320–1000 km) in length. Average speeds in the top classes are usually within the 170 to 190 mph range. Some stock cars may reach speeds in excess of 200 mph (320 km/h) at tracks such as Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway. At the Superspeedways, such as Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway, restrictor plates are installed to keep the cars from exceeding 200 mph and lessen their tendency to go airborne.
