NASCAR racing began on February 21, 1948, by mechanic William France Sr. with the help of several stock car drivers at that time who were victims of corrupt racing promoters who took all the money before the drivers were paid.
NASCAR's first sanctioned racing event was held at the Daytona Beach Road Course circuit on February 15, 1948. In that race, Red Byron beat Marshall Teague in the modified division category.
