The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) is a family-owned and operated business venture that sanctions and governs multiple auto-racing sports events. Bill France, Sr. founded the company in 1948 and his grandson Brian France became their CEO in 2003. NASCAR is motorsport's preeminent stock-car racing organization. The three largest racing-series sanctioned by this company are the Sprint Cup Series, the Xfinity Series, and the Camping World Truck Series. The company also oversees NASCAR Local Racing, the Whelen Modified Tour, the Whelen All-American Series, and the NASCAR iRacing.com Series. NASCAR sanctions over 1,500 races at over 100 tracks in 39 of the 50 US states as well as in Canada. NASCAR has presented exhibition races at the Suzuka and Motegi circuits in Japan, the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico, and the Calder Park Thunderdome in Australia.
NASCAR has its official headquarters in Daytona Beach, Florida, and also maintains offices in the North Carolina cities of Charlotte, Concord, and Conover. Regional offices are located in New York City and Los Angeles, with international offices in Mexico City and in Toronto. Owing to NASCAR's Southern roots, all but a handful of NASCAR teams are still based in North Carolina, especially near the city of Charlotte.
NASCAR is second to the National Football League among professional sports franchises in terms of television viewers and fans in the United States. Internationally, its races are broadcast on television in over 150 countries. In 2004, NASCAR's Director of Security stated that the company holds 17 of the Top 20 regularly attended single-day sporting events in the world. Fortune 500 companies sponsor NASCAR more than any other motor sport, although this sponsorship has declined since the early-2000s.
In the 1920s and 30s, Daytona Beach became known as the place to set world land speed records, supplanting France and Belgium as the preferred location for land speed records, with 8 consecutive world records set between 1927 and 1935. After a historic race between Ransom Olds and Alexander Winton in 1903, the beach became a mecca for racing enthusiasts and 15 records were set on what became the Daytona Beach Road Course between 1905 and 1935. By the time the Bonneville Salt Flats became the premier location for pursuit of land speed records, Daytona Beach had become synonymous with fast cars in 1936. Drivers raced on a 4.1-mile (6.6 km) course, consisting of a 1.5–2.0-mile (2.4–3.2 km) stretch of beach as one straightaway, and a narrow blacktop beachfront highway, State Road A1A, as the other. The two straights were connected by two tight, deeply rutted and sand covered turns at each end.
Stock car racing in the United States has its origins in bootlegging during Prohibition, when drivers ran bootleg whiskey made primarily in the Appalachian region of the United States. Bootleggers needed to distribute their illicit products, and they typically used small, fast vehicles to better evade the police. Many of the drivers would modify their cars for speed and handling, as well as increased cargo capacity, and some of them came to love the fast-paced driving down twisty mountain roads.
The repeal of Prohibition in 1933 dried up some of their business, but by then Southerners had developed a taste for moonshine, and a number of the drivers continued runnin' shine, this time evading the revenuers who were attempting to tax their operations. The cars continued to improve, and by the late 1940s, races featuring these cars were being run for pride and profit. These races were popular entertainment in the rural Southern United States, and they are most closely associated with the Wilkes County region of North Carolina. Most races in those days were of modified cars. Street vehicles were lightened and reinforced.

FALL BRAWL 125 Recap!
Kernersville, NC Driver Claims Second Series Win & Extends Point Lead (Rougemont, NC):
The “Fall Brawl 125” for the KOMA Unwind Modified Madness Series changed from a brawl into a battle for Burt Myers Saturday night as he had to battle from deep in the pack after a long caution period pit stop in the return to Orange County Speedway for the first time in six years to one of the best crowds of the season at the super-fast 3/8 mile track. Myers qualified his Modified on the pole for the event followed by his brother Jason, Spencer Davis and Tim Brown but it was no walk-in-the-park for the win. B. Myers grabbed the point at the start and Davis slipped into second on the opening lap and hounded Myers for a couple more laps before a power move put the Dawsonville, GA driver in the lead for the next 63. That reign came to an end on lap 66 when someone dumped a water bottle in the turn four groove bringing out the second caution period of the night. Most of the front running teams headed to pit road under the caution period for a fresh Hoosier tire and adjustments to their cars. Most were quick stops but B. Myers stayed on pit road for some extra adjustments as well as his tire change.
When racing resumed, Bobby Sheffield was at the point but that was short lived as Davis charged back to the point on the lap after the green flag flew. Davis held the top spot with Brewer, Brown, the Myers Brothers, Johnny Sutton and Jeremy Mayfield banging it out for the next spots. A great night for Davis came to an end on lap 85 when the right front tire went down on the Hillbilly Racing Modified sending Davis hard into the turn three wall. He was unhurt, except for his pride, but the #79 was finished for the night. Brewer took over the lead and appeared headed towards another KOMA Unwind win but the caution flew again three laps later when the Propst Racing team took the hard luck award of the night when team cars driven by Danny Propst and Mark Johnson tangled on the front stretch collecting the cars of Tom Buzze and “Tiger” Tommy Neal. Neal continued but Buzze, Propst and Johnson were eliminated. Brewer grabbed the lead on the restart but the caution allowed Myers to stay close with Jason Myers right behind and Brown and Sutton giving chase. B. Myers stalked Brewer before powering past entering turn three on lap 105. It was clear sailing from there as he finished .749 seconds ahead of Brewer, Jason Myers and a fast closing Brown. Sutton rounded out the top five with Mayfield in sixth and Mike Norman in seventh for his best KOMA Unwind finish. Sheffield, Mike Speeney and Neal rounded out the top ten.
The Southern Modified Race Tour KOMA Unwind Modified Madness Series wraps up the inaugural season at Myrtle Beach Speedway on November 22 & 23 with the Late Model Stocks in the “Myrtle Beach 400” weekend.
