What is "stock car racing"?

Stock car racing is a type of motorsport where cars that are designed to resemble production vehicles race on oval tracks. The cars used in stock car racing are modified for the sport but retain basic elements of their factory design, such as the body shape and engine type. Drivers compete in fast-paced races, often at high speeds, and the races can last for varying amounts of time, depending on the event. Stock car racing is popular for its close, competitive racing and often involves strategic decisions, such as pit stops and tire changes. It has a large fan base and is particularly popular in North America, with events like the NASCAR series being some of the most well-known in the sport.
