NASCAR tickets are a passport into a world of seat-of-your-pants organized chaos wrapped up in a metal frame with nothing less than the most breathtaking and heart-stopping moments at every turn. Racing at speeds averaging almost 200 miles per hour since it tore off of the line in 1941 as the first organized race of the new National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, NASCAR has held its biggest and most exclusive race at the beginning of each season in Daytona Beach, Florida. Never has an organized sport boosted pure adrenaline into both the drivers and the fans alike. There are no cops around that are fast enough to write tickets for these races that are more than just a spectator sport. They are an absolute way of life and an e-ticket ride that only requires everyone to hang on as tight as they can and try to sneak a breath in once in a while.
A ticket to see a NASCAR race comes in many shapes in sizes in regards to the cars, the drivers, the tracks, the fans, the colors, the lights, the sound and energy that can be found in the world of NASCAR. Sponsors practically slam into one another to find a racing team to associate with and a driver to take them into the racing history books. There is only one Daytona 500 to start off each season, but there are countless chances to make a trip to the track and not one reason to avoid it. Try if you can but you will find yourself alone when all the tickets are gone the only thing remaining on the track is the skid marks from the metal chariots of leather and helmet clad gladiators.
The cars are finely tuned, precision machines that are individually beyond comparison, but the drivers are more than mere mortals. They demonstrate athleticism that is beyond any other sport known to man and is actually more akin to the skills of a test pilot who decided to stay closer to the ground. They are the ticket to what over 75 million people are carefully watching with eyes fixed on each mind blowing track. If there was ever a reason to ask for a ride to get tickets for NASCAR, it is now. Over six million people attend races in the new decade for what can only be called an experience that will leave even those who bother a passing glance in a trance that will never fade away.
Since Atlanta stock car legend Red Byron tore up an event in 1947 in his now classic Ford Modified, the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing has evolved into a season long series of individual races that pave a course of their own; all adding up to the championship Daytona 500 which is the first race of the season. The NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series, the ultimate racing division in America, was born.
Jim Roper took home the first-ever NEXTEL Cup which was then known as the NASCAR Grand National held at a fairgrounds in North Carolina in June of 1949. The overzealous crowd bought the first priceless tickets and looked on in pure and utter, indescribable amazement as the men in front of them practically lifted off the pavement with the roar of the engines. As the cars were encased in frames and models familiar to everyone, it felt, as it does now, like the drivers were doing things that everyone else could only try to conjure up in their imaginations. In the annals of NASCAR, classic drivers suck as Buck Baker, Herb Thomas, Lee Petty, Fireball Roberts, Bill Rexford, and Paul Goldsmith are now the roots behind legends that include, but are in no imaginable way limited to, Dale Earnhardt, Bill Elliott, Matt Kenseth, Kurt Busch, Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
NASCAR gives everyone a chance to watch honest American heroes race lap after lap on track after track, all with their eyes on the big prize. So take a car, truck, or hitch a ride to get a ticket to see the cars, trucks and drivers of NASCAR allow everyone in for a trackside high of pure gasoline and the raw fuel of adrenaline. Don't debate, delay, be late or miss out on a ticket to a NASCAR race this year.
