What famous sport was derived from the Ozark and Southern moonshiners intent on outrunning the police at any post?

Answer 1

The famous sport derived from the Ozark and Southern moonshiners' intent on outrunning the police is NASCAR (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing). During the Prohibition era, moonshiners modified their cars to evade law enforcement while transporting illegal liquor. This practice of racing on backroads eventually evolved into organized stock car racing, leading to the establishment of NASCAR in the late 1940s. The sport retains its roots in speed and competition, reflecting the original high-stakes pursuits of the moonshiners.
