What Does NASCAR Really Stand For?

Many people outside the sport of NASCAR have no idea of what it really means. They just do not understand the excitement of a bunch of people driving really fast only taking left turns. They just don't get it. So, in essence, they really do not know what the acronym NASCAR means, and they do not know what the sport is really about. I will try to help figure out what does NASCAR really stand for.

First, let's start with the abbreviation.

National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. This is the actually meaning of each letter. So for those of you who were just interested in this little tid bit of information, there it is. But this is not the real meaning of NASCAR.

This sport has developed into one of the most popular sporting, and spectator sports on the market today. It is the only sport that still gives you last minute access to all of the athletes, also known as drivers. You have a full range of infield access, where you can talk to the drivers, and get autographs. There is no other sport like that. This is why the fans are much closer to this sport and its drivers than other sports.

NASCAR is also big, and I mean big, business for corporations and their sponsors. Since these sports fans are so loyal, you will find that they will associate themselves with driver's products. People wear Wranglers because Dale Jr. advertises for them. People drive Budweiser because Kasey Kahne is their pitch man. And, as much as people do not like Jeff Gordon, there is an avid following of people drinking Pepsi products and not Coke just because they are a fan of his.

And, if you look at the advertising even more closely, these corporations get to slap their logos on a drivers car and make you watch it for 3-4 hours on TV. I mean, after a while, I might just go and buy the Amp energy drink from Mountain Dew.

The technology is far superior to the other sports. The cameras are better, and even the announcers are pretty good. So, there is a bunch of other stuff going on behind the scenes than a bunch of guys going 180 MPH and only making a left hand turn. NASCAR is big business.
