Auto racing has been around as long as the automobile. The competitive nature of humans is ingrained in our DNA, but auto racing is more than just proving who is faster. Racing has been a method for improving performance and efficiency, for developing and innovating, and to boost sales.

Auto racing comes in as many different flavors as there are tastes. There’s drag racing, off-road racing, sports car racing, open-wheel racing (like Indy Car and Formula One), rally racing, endurance and stock cars to name some popular types. Some of these have even more specific classes and rules. Venues range from dirt tracks to high ovals, road courses to unimproved back country, and quarter-mile drag strips to city streets.
