NASCAR Races
Covering this topic will surely help you to better understand how to deal with similar situations.
NASCAR Race Results today would mean nothing without the life and work of mechanic William France who left Washington DC in 1935 to move to Daytona Beach Florida during the great depression. One thing he knew about Daytona was that some land speed records had been attempted in the area. In 1936 France entered the Daytona race, placing 5th. In 1938 he took ownership of the course. Before WW2 he successfully promoted a number of races at his track.
France was of the idea that people would pay to see stock car racing. It wasn’t unusual for drivers to not get paid for racing when unscrupulous promoters took all the money. A official sanctioning organization was France’s solution for mixed up schedules, fragmented rules, and the difficult of naming a real racing champion. On February 21, 1948 France and a number of other promoters and some top drivers made NASCAR results mean something by establishing NASCAR after nearly two months of discussions. They developed a point system by taking notes on some cocktail napkins. NASCAR originally was made up of three distinct divisions – Modified, Roadster and Strictly Stock.

The original NASCAR Commissioner was a man named Erwin Cannonball Baker. Baker was a former driver who had set 100+ land speed records and who had competed in the Indianapolis 500. His numerous attempts at transcontinental speed records were his most well known accomplishments. Baker tested the value of cars by driving them from New York to Los Angeles.. Both the Cannonball race and the movie it inspired were named for Baker Under Baker NASCAR racing results were followed by an ever growing fan base.
NASCAR spread to the west coast, and soon people there were following NASCAR racing results – here’s how it happened. Bill France Jr. joined the US Navy and was stationed in Northern CA in the early 1950s. France Sr. asked him to contact Bob Barkhimer in San Jose, California. Barkhimer had been a big star in midget car racing around World War II, and later ran operated some 22 speedways while serving as the head of the CSCRA - California Stock Car Racing Association. Bill met Bob Barkhimer and his partner Margo Burke, and soon became friends with both of them. He attended races with them, lived with them on the weekends and learned everything he could about racing on the west coast. Eventually Barky, Barkhimer’s nickname to his friends, traveled to Daytona Beach to meet Bill France, Sr . Finally by the spring of ‘54, NASCAR was named the stock car sanctioning body for the Pacific Coast, with Barky in charge there.
