The first ever NASCAR race broadcast on TV was on February 12, 1960. It was the Daytona 500 - 100 mile qualifying races, held at Daytona International Speedway. It was shown on CBS.If you are referring to the first Live Race, then that would be the 1979 Daytona 500 won by Richard Petty. That one was shown on CBS as well.
Rusty Wallace tested a car at Talladega in 2004 on which the car had its restrictor plate removed. The car reached a top-end speed of 228 miles per hour on the backstretch and had an average lap speed of 221 mph.
Tachyon is the fastest thing ever because its slowest velocity is the speed of light! Light is the fastest thing that can be seen.
The first Daytona 500 was on Febuary 22, 1959. And NASCAR has been established before the start of the Daytona 500, so the answer your question...no. No, it was not. For example, for most of the time that NASCAR raced there, the now gone, Riverside International Raceway (CA), a road course was the first race of the season. There was no "Daytona 500" until the speedway was built in 1959. Even before that, the races on the beach at Daytona were not the first race of the season.
