This type of racing uses a lot of production cars. There have been several special stock cars that were built for this type racing in recent times.
Origins
The sport of stock cars racing has a complicated history. It was originally started as a means to transport alcohol during Prohibition. The cars, which were virtually identical to regular automobiles were modified to reach high speeds. Because of their top speeds of 120 mph, some were called "Moon runners". From its humble beginnings, the sport has grown to become the most popular spectator sports in the United States.

Classification
