The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) is the sanctioning body for the number one form of Motorsport in the United States.

Top 6 Reasons to Work in NASCAR:
1. Amazing Motorsport Races
NASCAR has delivered some of the most thrilling, surprising and nail-biting races in Motorsport history. From the phenomenal transformations of long-time underdogs into champions in just one race, to driver leads changing an unprecedented 88 times in one race, to the smashing of multiple world records, every NASCAR race is colourful, loud and full of excitement.
2. Popularity
Second only to the global phenomenon of the National Football League (NFL), NASCAR is the most watched professional sports franchise in the United States. The popularity of the Motorsport series extends across the world, with races broadcast in over 150 countries. NASCAR’s fan base and event capacity rival the biggest sports stadiums in the world, with several racetracks seating up to 150,000 people per race.
3. Variety
NASCAR boasts a number of different race series, with events to suit all Motorsport fans and Automotive engineering skills, including:
- Monster Energy Cup Series – NASCAR’s top racing series, the 36-race season showcases cars that are unique in Motorsport. Monster Energy Cup car engines are powerful enough to reach speeds of over 200 mph, but their weight and aerodynamics make them much more difficult to handle than other race cars.
- Xfinity Series – As a minor league circuit, the Xfinity Series enables junior drivers to prove their skills and step up to the Monster Energy Cup in supporting race events.
- Camping World Truck Series – The only series to race modified production pickup trucks.
- Whelen Modified Tour (NWMT) – The oldest racing division is also NASCAR’s only open-wheeled division.
- Whelen All-American Series – A points championship for NASCAR-sanctioned local short track racing around the United States and Canada that splits the race tracks randomly and operates complicated performance scoring.
- Home Tracks – Regional stock car racing divisions and race tracks running weekly races for non-professionals.
- Iracing.com – A subscription-based racing simulation where Motorsport series are raced through computer servers and include the same stringent rules operated by traditional motorsport series.
