A Little NASCAR Trivia

There's more to NASCAR than just cars, tracks, left turns and checkered flags. An entire culture has arisen from the sport, with races becoming landmark events on the calendar for hardcore fans. Some races have risen to mythic proportions, as have some drivers and their cars. For the true NASCAR fan, who already follows the races and results closely, here is some trivia that may be unfamiliar:

1. What was the closest finish in NASCAR history?

.002 seconds, when Ricky Craven beat Kurt Busch in the Carolina Dodge Dealers 400 (now the Dodge Avenger 500) at Darlington Raceway on March 16, 2003.

2. What color stripe is placed on a NASCAR car to indicate rookie status?

Yellow, to warn other drivers about the inexperience of the rookie.

3. Which state is known as "NASCAR Valley"?

North Carolina, employer of almost 3/4 of American motorsports workers. This also includes drivers and their crews, many of whom who live near Charlotte. It's also due to the large number of races in and around the state, including the Subway 500, the Goody Cool Orange 500 and the Coca-Cola 600.

4. What did NASCAR introduce in 1994 as a safety measure?

Roof flaps, designed to reduce the lift on cars and keep them more firmly on the ground and prevent them from rolling over.

5. Which race was the first to be nationally televised in its entirety?

The Daytona 500, the biggest and most famous NASCAR race of all, in 1979. It was won by Richard Petty.
