NASCAR is one of the most popular sports in the USA today and gradually increasing its reach to the rest of the world. The acronym, which stands for 'National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing' is a byword for thousands of exhilarating races and larger-than-life personalities, not to mention the chance to see some of the world's most famous tracks. Experience a thrilling day out by buying or selling NASCAR tickets on StubHub today.

Fall for the thrill of NASCAR racing

Unlike those used in Formula 1, NASCAR cars are based on normal, four-door cars and include models such as the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Impala. Although most are built purely for racing, their heritage is in stock cars and, importantly, they must feature fenders - this allows contact with other cars in the safest possible way. NASCAR racing is divided into three main series: the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity and Camping World Truck Series, of which the former is undoubtedly the best known. In total, though, around 1,500 races are licensed by NASCAR in the USA, Canada, Mexico and Europe, and special presentation races have taken place in other countries including Japan and Australia. Wherever you are in the world, you can experience the incomparable thrill of watching NASCAR cars whip round a track - nothing can beat the feeling of the engines reverberating through the stands, or the electrifying atmosphere surrounding you as the crowd cheers on legendary drivers. Whether you're already addicted or yet to fall in love with this sport, speed junkies can do no better than use StubHub to purchase NASCAR tickets.

Legendary names have included Dale Earnhardt, Jimmie Johnson, Cale Yarborough and Richard Petty, but with each driver bringing their own personality to the proceedings, there's a competitor for everyone to support.
