The spotlight shines on all seven generations of NASCAR race cars as we explain why every version is special and how innovation made each generation great.
The NASCAR race cars in the 1950s and '60s were truly stock cars. The evolution of the car took on many forms through the years to bring us to where we are now with the sophisticated Next Gen race car.
If you’re a fan of Formula 1 or MotoGP, you might find NASCAR a little underwhelming. On the face of it, it might appear like it’s simply cars driving left in a circle for hours. But if you fully embrace the sport for what it is, it’s so much more than that.
NASCAR, or National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, has always been about driving cars that are available to the public – a stock car. In theory, you could buy a car and soup it up to NASCAR standards, and that’s exciting in itself.
And with bigger fields, variation in different types of track, and the real challenge that comes with speedway racing, it can be a wild ride. There’s a reason it’s one of the most-watched sports Stateside.
But if you’re entering the world of NASCAR and don’t know where to start, we’ve got you covered. Here are the basics, including the cars they drive, how the races work, the drivers to look out for, and more.
