Have you ever thought about what it would be like to be a NASCAR team owner or team leader? This is what the Fantasy NASCAR League permits you to experience. Several other sports offer fantasy leagues, and in fact the Fantasy NASCAR League was based on the original fantasy league, the Soccer Fantasy League, but for lovers of car racing, it is the top one.

If you do not know how the Fantasy NASCAR League works, it is pretty simple to explain. People who register in the league become team owners, and they have to pick a racing team from the selection of real human drivers on the NASCAR circuit. These drivers then win points for the team, exactly as they do in real life.

You will no doubt have heard of NASCAR, but do you know what it means and how much do you know about it? In this short article I will give you a short history of NASCAR.

NASCAR is an acronym for the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. Amazingly, it was begun as a family business in 1947 by Bill France Sr. and is still family owned and family managed. It is by far the largest sanctioning business for stock car racing in the United States and the three largest racing series that it approves are: the Sprint Cup, the Nationwide Series and the Camping World Truck Series. In deed, NASCAR sanctions more than 1,500 races at more than a 100 race tracks in thirty-nine states.

The Car of Tomorrow seems to be picking up a lot of steam on the NASCAR circuit. This involves a car that resembles nothing about its sponsoring auto company, save for a sticker on the hood of it.

The parts come from a wide variety of auto makers and have little to do with the Chevy, Toyota, Dodge, or Ford sticker that may be slapped onto the front of it. While some like the fact that giving all drivers similar cars makes things more fair (so that the best driver wins), this can’t be good for the actual car companies, as it removes the personal connection that so many fans feel to the brands.
