stock car race

Oval track competition

A stock car race is a motorsport competition featuring production-based automobiles—cars that began as standard factory models rather than purpose-built racing machines.

Stock car racing originated in the American South and remains most popular there, with NASCAR as its dominant organization.

The cars have been heavily modified for decades, but the name persists: We're going to the stock car races this weekend.
