stock cars
Oval track speedsters
Stock cars are racing vehicles based on production automobiles—cars that were once literally "in stock" at dealerships.
The term now refers to purpose-built racers that merely resemble street cars, especially in NASCAR.
Stock car racing originated in the American South, where drivers modified ordinary sedans.
Stock car racing draws millions of fans annually.
