Growing from regional entertainment in the Southeastern United States, NASCAR has grown to become the second-most popular professional sport in terms of television ratings inside the U.S., ranking behind only the NFL. NASCAR races are broadcast in over 150 countries. There are 75 million fans who purchase over $3 billion in annual related licensed products. These fans are considered the most brand-loyal in all of sports and as a result, Fortune 500 companies sponsor most NASCAR events.

NASCAR’s headquarters are located in Daytona Beach, Florida, although it also maintains offices in North Carolina. The series was sponsored by R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company (RJR) in the 1970s.

In 1979, the Daytona 500 became the first stock car race that was wholly nationally televised on CBS. The leaders going into the last lap, Cale Yarborough and Donnie Allison, crashed dramatically on the homestretch while jockeying for the lead. Richard Petty passed them both and won the race. As a result, Yarborough, Allison, and Allison’s brother Bobby got in a fistfight on national television. This high stakes action drove fans crazy and helped garner more fans for the now hugely popular sport.
