Has any sport enjoyed the phenomenal growth that NASCAR has seen in its brief history? From its humble beginnings in the early twentieth century, to the inaugural season of 1949, all the way up to the present day, NASCAR has steadily gained popularity.

Since that first race, NASCAR has sped past USAC, Trans-Am, Can-Am, CART, IRL, NHRA, and Formula One to become America's most-followed motorsport. Recently, NASCAR has also overtaken hockey, golf, basketball, and baseball to become the country's second-most-watched professional sport on television.
