The NASCAR series started out with very basic and humble beginnings. The first races took place on dirt track

By allowing the drivers more opportunities to drive more races and in more series they are not only giving more drivers the opportunity to drive and fulfill their dreams but they are also allowing more fans the opportunity to attend races in person while also being able to keep track of them away from the track. It would be foolish of any outsider to assume that the creation of these new series’ was only to provide more opportunities to both the drivers and the fans and not in the pocket books of the people in charge. By creating the NASCAR Busch series and the Craftsmen Truck series the people who run the series’ have opened up a whole new way to fill their pocket books. This is a perfect way to play on the obsession that America has with car racing.

The NASCAR racing series, which started out as only the one “stock” series, has now expanded to now include the NASCSAR Busch series and the Craftsmen truck series. Since the beginning of the “stock” series in 1949 the people who ran the series noticed how popular the sport was becoming. The Winston Cup series is the series that uses the newest technology and has the highest speeds of all of them. With this series always moving forward and going faster and faster, there were still fans that wanted to see the more “stock” or slower cars race against one another.

The last example of families in the NASCAR world is the brother combination of Darrell Waltrip and Michael Waltrip. Darrell began his career as a driver and later would become one of the television color commentators for the weekly races. Michael is still a driver on the Winston Cup series, but he also has begun to make his way to the television side as well by taking part in the Inside NASCAR television series that reviews all of the week’s news.

From the beginning of the NASCAR series we have seen many different families make up a large percentage of the racing population. We even see this with the man behind the idea, Bill France and his wife working together and later their children would also take part in the NASCAR series. It has been said that it is hard to walk through the Winston Cup garage area without running into someone who is related to either somebody on their own race team or on somebody else’s race team. Some of the most famous families that have been a part of the NASCAR series for many generations are the Petty family, the Earnhardt family, the Jarrett family and the Waltrip family.

By looking at how many families have made up a large percentage of the NASCAR population we can begin to realize that this sport is very family oriented and a way to increase that bond between the families as a whole. We have seen that these families do not only include the male side of the family but sometimes the female side as well. Also we noticed that the relationship does not have to be father to son but it can be between brothers, cousins, or even to relations through marriage. With the relations being so varied it not only builds the relationships of blood relatives but also allows the family as a whole to become closer and have a common bond to build on with the rest of the family.
