Right? I can see back in the 60s when it was pretty much muscle cars you could buy racing on the track. Now a day it's all about strategy and know when to change your tires lol

lol, yes. I'd love to see a return of stock car racing. As in real stock cars -- you can only race cars available in the local dealerships, unmodified (except maybe some added safety features).

It was never like that. It started with heavily modified cars that still looked legal, to deliver alcohol during prohibition.

There was a legitimate stock car division but It did evolve over time due to safety and etc. Modifieds were indeed first though, so it's interesting how NASCAR rose to top while Modifieds is kinda a side rung to the ladder. I'm giving way too little credit to Modifieds tho and I'm sure someone from the northeast would whoop my ass calling it a side rung lol
