The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) is the largest governing body for motor sports in the U.S.  If you’ve seen the Tom Cruise movie, Days of Thunder, then you’ll have some idea of the speed and the daring manoeuvres involved during races and the frenzied excitement of the crowd.  The real thing is far more exhilarating (and less cheesy) of course and is an out-and-out pure slice of Americana that is not to be missed; have you got what it takes?

For the uninitiated, Richard Petty is arguably the greatest and certainly the most successful NASCAR driver ever, collecting a record number of poles (127) and over 700 top-ten finishes including 200 race wins.  Not only this but he was also a pretty well-liked chap winning 9 most popular driver awards - you know you’re in good hands!
