Touring car racing
Touring car race is a popular sport all around the globe. Touring cars are modified street cars designed for auto racing. The car's body is the same as any other street car, but almost all components are modified to make it more aerodynamic. These cars can come with aerodynamic helpers in the front and back. The cars can then be raced on closed circuits or open tracks.
Stock car racing
Stock car racing involves modified cars competing against each other at a large track. Stock car racing originated in the United States. It has since expanded to Mexico, Canada and Great Britain. Today's stock cars are more sophisticated than ever and have over 1,000 horsepower.
Bracket racing

This allows them to have bragging rights at the home.

NASCAR
NASCAR is an intense sport that mixes physical exertion with competition. Drivers must be able control their cars at high speeds while navigating turns without falling. The sport also follows strict rules for safety.
