Best Answer

Bootleggers were basically moonshine runners. Those that did this started racing their cars against each other, thus NASCAR was unofficially created.

Where did NASCAR racing get started?

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.
