These cars are usually production models. In recent years, there have been special stock cars built to compete in this type of racing.
Origins
Stock cars racing has a long history. It was developed as a way for liquor to be transported during Prohibition. The cars, which were essentially the same as regular automobiles, were modified to reach high speeds. Some were nicknamed "Moon runners" for their 120-mph top speeds. The sport grew from this early beginning and eventually became the most popular spectator sport in the United States.

How To
How to fast corner
During a race, you want to get your car out of the way of others so you can go faster. This means you have the responsibility of turning before any other driver. You will make others behind you brake if you do it correctly. You will avoid any collisions with vehicles coming from other directions. So, how can you turn quickly?
First, understand where you are going. If you don’t know where your destination is, you might end up in a completely new place. That's why you need to plan carefully. It's important to create a map showing where you're going at all times. While it might seem like a lot to do, having a clear idea of where you want to go will save you many headaches down the road.
Next, consider when you are going to turn. After you have passed the first corner, it is the best place to start. Once you have reached the first corner you will know where you want to start. The next step is to decide if you want to use the outside or inside lane.
If you intend to take the inside lanes, it's best to wait until there are no cars in front of your. If you do this, you will be able to move quickly and without fear of hitting someone. Once you've entered the inside lane, it is important to stay there. Do not allow yourself to drift back into the outside lanes. If you do so, you may hit someone moving slowly. Keep in mind, however, that if your vehicle crosses the line dividing them, you will lose control and be vulnerable to crashes.
Once you have determined which lane to use, choose a point to turn. This problem can be tackled in many ways. Some people prefer searching for a gap within the traffic. Some people try to find an opening in the road. Others try to locate a point in the road where it curves around a hill. Whatever method you choose, remember that you need to be careful not to block the entire road. You'll cause traffic jams throughout the town if this happens.
Once you have chosen a place to turn, decide if you will be taking a sharp left or a gradual turn. A sharp turn is much easier to perform than a gradual one. However, it takes longer and requires more energy. On top of that, it makes it harder to steer your car properly. Many drivers prefer to take gradual turns because of this.
You must accelerate slowly enough to avoid hitting the car in front. You will crash into the car's bumper if you accelerate too quickly. If you accelerate too slowly, you will run off of the road. In either case, you'll lose control of your car and crash. This is why you should accelerate slowly. Begin with very low acceleration and gradually increase it as you approach the edge of the road.
After you finish cornering, it is important to immediately slow down. This is especially important in heavy traffic. This could result in you running someone over.
