About NASCAR:
National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing or NASCAR is the
largest sanctioning body of motorsports in the United States of
America. The 3 largest racing series sanctioned by NASCAR are the
NEXTEL Cup, the Busch Series and the Craftsman Truck Series. It also
oversees NASCAR Regional Racing, the Whelen Modified Tour, and the
Whelen All-American Series. NASCAR sanctions over 1,500 races at
over 100 tracks in 38 states, Canada, and Mexico. From 1996 to 1998,
NASCAR held exhibition races in Japan, and an exhibition race in
Australia in 1988.
With roots as regional entertainment in the Southeastern U.S.,
NASCAR has grown to become the second most popular professional
sport in terms of television ratings inside the U.S., ranking behind
only the National Football League. Internationally, NASCAR races are
broadcast in over 150 countries. It holds 17 of the top 20 attended
sporting events in the U.S.1, and has 75 million fans who purchase
over $3 billion in annual licensed product sales. These fans are
considered the most brand-loyal in all of sports, and as a result,
Fortune 500 companies sponsor NASCAR more than any other sport.
However, so far in 2007, NASCAR has seen empty seats at many races
for the first time, and television ratings are down considerably
from 2006.
NASCAR's headquarters are located in Daytona Beach, Florida,
although it also maintains offices in four North Carolina cities:
Charlotte, Mooresville, Concord and Conover as well as New York
City, Los Angeles, California; Arkansas, and international offices
in Mexico City and Toronto, Ontario. NASCAR and the Universal
Technical Institute (UTI) cooperated and opened a technical school
in North Carolina called NASCAR Technical Institute, where aspiring
students train to be NASCAR mechanics.
