North Carolina Speedway- Rockingham,NC A joint venture between Darlington Raceway builder Harold Brasington and landowner Bill Land, North Carolina Speedway's first race was held in 1965.

There are a lot of NASCAR races. Do they have them all year long or is there a "season" for car racing? What about the cars that get smashed up? Do they let the race car driver use a different car for the next race or does he have to fix the car he has?

Most teams have several cars. In fact, they all bring two cars to each race in case the first one is wrecked during practice.

Season is from Daytona (mid Feb.) to mid. November. They use different cars all season long.

There are a lot of NASCAR races. / Yup!. Some of us think not enough!

Do they have them all year long or is there a "season" for car racing? / January to November typically.

What about the cars that get smashed up? / They turn into spare parts or get junked if severe damage happens. The expensive and most valuable pieces are the engine and frame. A lot of time and effort are put into these key components.

Do they let the race car driver use a different car for the next race or does he have to fix the car he has? / If he can fix the one he broke, that's OK. Usually every team has a backup car he can use as well.

I'm sure other folks will expand on answers to yur questions. Thanks for asking.

Welcome aboard!

Thanks for the post, I was wondering what the weather was like today. Yesterday sure was a washout. When will the Busch race run?

Who's the winner today?? I'm going with Ryan or Matt today, my #1 favorite Junior doesn't do well at this track. Steve Park won two years ago and I sure would like to see him get a win!!

What about the third option?
