How do you think bootleg whiskey got from a backwoods still in Porksister, West Virginia to a speakeasy on the North side of Chicago? Some good ol’ boys loaded it up in a souped up Model A that looked outwardly like any other ordinary car, but was capable of outrunning the cops for hundreds of miles on end. Some of these bootleggers got so into building and driving these cars that they made their own sport of it: long distance, high speed endurance racing of ordinary factory built automobiles, or “stock cars.” They even organized a league called the National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing. NASCAR for short.
