Extractions: In the beginning, stock-car racing was exactly what it sounds like. Drivers actually bought brand-new cars from dealers and went racing. The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing NASCAR ), organized in 1947, created a standardized set of rules for stock-car racing and established a system for selecting a national champion based on performance at races across the country. The Caterpillar-sponsored No. 22 car The original races were run on dirt tracks that got rutted and bumpy. The unmodified cars were not tough enough for this type of abuse, so NASCAR began allowing modifications to the stock cars to increase their durability. Over the years, more and more modifications were made, sometimes to increase safety (see How NASCAR Safety Works for details) and sometimes to improve competition. NASCAR strictly controls all of these modifications, which are spelled out in detail in the NASCAR rule book. Cars are checked for compliance with these rules at every race.

Extractions: Tony Novotny founded the Canadian Association for Stock Car Auto Racing in 1981. Prior to CASCAR there was no professional touring series in Canada, and late model racing was fragmented throughout race tracks across the country. Novotny brought stability and consistency to the sport, which started at Delaware Speedway - a track that Novotny operated from 1979 to 2000. This is why Delaware Speedway is regarded as the home of CASCAR. Tony started his working career as a welder/ fabricator and then became a proprietor of a speed shop, racing wheel manufacturer and racing tire distributor business. He currently owns and operates a fiberglass production shop, which is the sole supplier of stock car bodies to CASCAR, and also produces other diversified fiberglass products. Linda Novotny, wife of Tony, has acted as vice president of CASCAR since Tony and Linda restructured the company in 2001. Linda manages the merchandise and apparel programs for CASCAR, including managing the merchandise trailers that travel across the country with the CASCAR Super Series. Linda also assists with the administration of the company.

Extractions: Q uestion: NASCAR boasts one of the highest percentages of female fans in the sports world what percentage is that? (You can find the answer inside and at the end of the article.) When the Cart Championship Series stopped in Montreal, Canada in August 2002 at the Gilles Villeneuve circuit, it marked the first time that both Formula One and Cart cars raced on the same track in the same year. As you can imagine, the media and organizers were interested in how the Cart and F1 cars stacked up against each other. For those interested in the comparison, the F1 cars were roughly six seconds faster per lap. Given F1's much larger budget, different technical specifications, and the tire war between Bridgestone and Michelin, it's no surprise that it boasts faster cars. southern comfort

Extractions: Like it or not, auto racing has been a part of the American sportscape since right after the installation of the first traffic light. Given the nature of man, his relationship with machines and the need to compete, a competitive look from that guy in the black Model T was probably all it took to leave that first light in the dust. NASCAR racing's popularity is evident nearly everywhere these days. You can't drive down the road without seeing at least one car covered in stickers evidencing loyalty to NASCAR in general, or favorite drivers, like Jeff Gordon, in particular. Turn on ABC or ESPN and you're likely to find more than one race on at any given time. You won't be the only one watching, either; last year, more than 250 million watched the sport on television. Racing is big business now, and a large part of the stock car racing success story is collectibles. Manufacturers of nearly every product you can think of have had their merchandise officially licensed by NASCAR; in all, about 130 different companies are licensed to sell everything from license plate frames to belt buckles emblazoned with the NASCAR logo.

It's free! Save it. LAST JUNE, BOBBY RAHAL became CART's interim president after former boss Andrew Craig resigned his post. After Rahal's departure in September, an exhaustive search for a long-term leader began. That search ended in late 2000 when Joseph Heitzler was hired as the series' president and chief executive officer. The 56-year-old Heitzler, who beat out more than 40 other interviewees, was the unanimous choice of CART's board of directors and signed a multi-year contract with the sanctioning body.

It's free! Save it. EARLIER THIS YEAR, CART WAS forced to cancel the Rio 200 after the city of Rio de Janeiro breached its contract and missed its deadline for paying sanctioning fees to the series. The city also failed to provide Emerson Fittipaldi, the 1989 CART champion and current race co-promoter, with access to the racetrack which prevented him and his team from preparing for the race. Losing out on a race in the huge Brazilian market is a big setback for CART both financially and otherwise. CART has been racing in Rio since 1996, and nearly one-third of CART's 31 drivers are Brazilian, including reigning champion Gil de Ferran. The cancellation of the race caused analysts of CART's stock to slash its first-quarter earnings by as much as 23%. Not only will CART not receive its $3-million sanction fee, but Fittipaldi's $1.8-million debt to the series could also be in doubt because the race will not take place. "This is a great embarrassment for all of Brazil," says Fittipaldi.
