History
of NASCAR
The nation was going
through a tremendous period of change in 1947. Just a couple of years
out of a war, everything was getting back to normal. In fact, things
were going well. The economy was on the upswing. The country was in
a good mood and the heroes had shifted from the battlefield to the ballfield
and the movie screen. And to the racetrack.
Stock car racing
was experiencing the greatest popularity it had ever seen. Tracks all
over the country were drawing more drivers to race in front of bigger
crowds.
