NASCAR
American racing sanctioner
NASCAR is the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, the governing body for stock car racing in the United States and the sport itself.
Races feature modified production cars on oval tracks at high speeds: We watched the NASCAR race on Sunday.
The sport has strong Southern roots and a devoted fan base.
NASCAR sometimes appears as shorthand for rural white American culture, often dismissively.
