The history of this exciting race series from its inception in 1947. The brainchild of Bill France, who set up the NASCAR governing body, which has seen the development of the series through the early stock car racing on Daytona Beach to the sedans on the dust bowl tracks of the 50s through to the super-fast race cars on the oval tracks of the 80s. Pioneering ‘in-car’ cameras and excellent pit lane coverage add to this excellent record of American racing history. All the big names are here; Lee Petty, Cale Yarborough, A J Foyt, Buddy Baker and many others battling it out for the Winston Cup.
