After Prohibition was repealed in 1933, moonshiners, who had modified their street cars to escape from federal officials, decided to race these cars against each other on dirt tracks as entertainment. By this time, Daytona Beach was a sight for land speed records. Bill France Sr. brought the stock cars to the beach and in 1948 formed an organized racing series called NASCAR.
