Found some cool pics of the first year of Nascar sanctioned stock car racing. The first season had 52 racesd and even included three female drivers, Sara Christian, Louise Smith, and Ethel Flock......

Great old pics, but it hurts to see them bashing into each other like that.

Thanks Gastrick. I think its wild that in 1948 there were three female drivers on the nascar circuit when women didn't play a huge role in alot of things and today I'm not sure, but I think there are none.
