The median yearly total of a family of race fans is above $50,000. Truly NASCAR history has evolved to a point where racing is no longer a sport just for Southern "rednecks". It has grown from its Southeastern roots to places nationwide. Winston Cup races are now held in New Hampshire, Michigan, California, Arizona, New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Texas and Nevada. There is even an exhibition race to be held in Suzuka, Japan, at the end of the 1996 Winston Cup schedule, called the NASCAR Suzuka Thunder Special 100. However, racing on the whole wasn't always able to boast the success one sees today. Racing struggled for several years, from both its "redneck" brand, and earlier than that, the law. NASCAR history can trace its roots back to 1794. Of course, that's a whole century before the invention of the automobile, but it was the year of the Whiskey Rebellion. This was a protest of a federal tax on whiskey by frontier farmers. Instead of being subject to the tax, many frontiersmen built secret stills, manufactured, and delivered their product in secret. Not often mentioned, but this is the true origin of NASCAR history.

NASCAR History Continued:

If any one race is responsible for helping to bring NASCAR to its immense popularity today, it would be the Daytona 500 three years later in 1979. This was the first NASCAR race to be televised flag-toflag, on CBS. An estimated twenty million people tuned in that day in February 1979.

Although the 80's brought huge growth to NASCAR, the decade also brought significant changes to the sport. Many legends of the sport retired or became less competitive, and in many cases their sons took over. Names like Dale Earnhardt (son of short track legend Ralph Earnhardt), Davey Allison (son of Bobby Allison), Kyle Petty (son of Richard Petty), and Dale Jarrett (son of Ned Jarrett) replaced the names of their fathers at the forefront of Winston Cup racing.

Another man who helped bring NASCAR to its present popularity was Dale Earnhardt. Earnhardt has won seven Winston Cup championships, in 1980, '86, '87, '90, '91, '93, and '94. Throughout the 80's and 90's Earnhardt's dirty driving style and his sinister black Chevy has made him both the crowd favorite and crowd nemesis. Any race fan has an opinion on Earnhardt, and often certain stands at racetracks would be divided into sections which either all love or hate Earnhardt.

And then the unthinkable happened. The tragic accident in the closing lap of the 2001 Daytona 500. Dale Earnhardt died that day, but his memory will live on.

Earnhardt, a native of Kannapolis, N.C., was Daytona's career victories leader and the winner of the 1998 Daytona 500. According to Dr. Steve Bohannon, emergency medical services director at Daytona International Speedway who responded to the crash, Earnhardt was killed instantly.

"He had what I feel were life-ending type injuries at the time of impact," Dr. Bohannon said. "Really nothing could be done for him."

The announcement was made at 7 p.m. ET by NASCAR President Mike Helton.

"Undoubtedly this is one of the toughest announcements I've personally had to make," said Helton, whose motorsports career covers more than 20 years. "After the accident in Turn 4 at the end of the Daytona 500 we've lost Dale Earnhardt."

Earnhardt's death was the 27th in the history of the track, which opened with the inaugural Speedweeks in 1959. The first fatality was Daytona Beach native Marshall Teague, who died before Speedweeks began while testing an Indy car for a world closed course speed record.
