NASCAR can trace its roots back to the Prohibition era in the United States. In the 1920s and early 1930s, bootleggers needed fast cars to outrun law enforcement officers while transporting illegal alcohol. To evade capture, these bootleggers would modify their cars to enhance speed and handling, essentially creating the first stock cars. After Prohibition was repealed in 1933, these drivers found themselves with souped-up cars but without a purpose. They initiated informal races, paving the way for the creation of formal racing circuits that later developed into what we now know as NASCAR.
