Bootleggers were basically moonshine runners. Those that did this started racing their cars against each other, thus NASCAR was unofficially created.
No. But it is said that bootlegging became the start for track racing in cars that look (a bit) like production cars.
Yes. Directly, in fact. The moonshine runners, got together on the weekends to race their highly modified shine transport vehicles. Junior Johnson is an example. He did time in prison for bootlegging. Wendel Scott, NASCAR's first black driver, was released from jail, on bootlegging charges, because the local track owner figured he would increase attendence.
Bootlegging alcohol, yes. Bootlegging trademarked or copyrighted material, it depends on the item that was bootlegged in some cases.
Bootlegging was the unlawful sale of alcoholic beverages. You might smuggle a flat whiskey bottle in the top of your boots- bootlegging.
In the south, but more South Carolina, Tennesse, and there was a famous team from Alabama, too. More so in the bootlegging areas, since the first race cars were bootleg running cars.
Joseph Kennedy , father of John, made a lot of money bootlegging.

history, prohibtion
It came to being, in the south, by the moonshine runners, who, would gather at the local track on the weekends, with their cars, and race each other. Junior Johnson would be a good person to reference. He was very imfluencial to NASCAR, nd did prison time for bootlegging. He also received a Presidential pardon for the felony. I think that heart of it was around South Carolina, which is where most of the teams are centralized to this day.
The consequences for bootlegging is to spend time in jail with no bail money and to be put on probation like no entering any bars and to go for counseling as well.
