NASCAR History - round & round
I was recently explaining the Polish victory lap to a NASCAR novice and they asked the following related questions:
Why are the races run counter clockwise? Has a NASCAR race ever been run clockwise? These are simple, yet valid questions. Digging into my historical references, I found no specific rules pertaining to direction. I also found several pictures from early racing at Daytona (beach) that show counter clockwise racing. I too wondered if any early races had ever been run in the opposite direction. Does anyone have more specific rules information. Possibly more information on why and when the decision was made to make only left turns. |
