This series is the most popular racing series in the world. NASCAR uses a stock car, and most races are on ovals, with the occasional street / road circuit race being added in recent years. Races are held across the U.S. with the most recent addition of one course in Canada. Sponsorship is King in this series, with companies paying millions of dollars to be associated with this wildly popular series. The NASCAR season is 10 months long—the longest of all major U.S. sports.
