Nascar Trivia

[admin]

This is a thread to see how good your Nascar knowledge is as well as having fun and learning something along the way. If you give the correct answer to the question then you get to post the next question. This is very popular at another site and I wanted to do the same here.

Here is the first question;

Where was the traditional first race of the Nascar Winston Cup season held before it became the Daytona 500?

<jumping up and down> Oooo! Ooooo! I know, I know ... but I'll hold off until others have a chance.

Hint: Think "R"

Was it at Bowman Grey ?

[Scooters]

Nope. My clue was 'Think "R" ' --- could be the name of the track, or could be the kind of track, or it could be .... both! illy:

Oh, mercy me! Where are my manners! Just wanted to welcome you to RacingNascar.com. Now that the season is under way, we're all looking forward to some good discussions!

Yep, Riverside was the opening race for a long time.

Great job bowtiesx2, now its your turn to come up with a question to ask and see if anyone here can answer it, this is a cool game and some good learning as well!

OK, this may be an easy one, but I'll give it a shot. What was the first *paved* track that Nascar raced on ? Name the track and the year.

Darlington, Labor Day 1950 (I'm pretty sure anyway)
