It's hard to say where stock car racing originated, here is a brief excerpt:
Before NASCAR was founded in the 1920's, moonshine runners during the prohibition era would often have to outrun the authorities. To do so, they had to upgrade their vehicles and eventually started getting together with fellow runners and making runs together. They would challenge one another and eventually progressed to organized events in the early 1930s. Please see related link.
National Stock Car Racing Association was created in 1948.
National Stock Car Racing Association ended in 1951.
Well now thanks to the start of NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Automobile Racing) there is stock car racing in Europe too.
