List of current NASCAR races

From Encyclopedia Jr, free information reference for Kids

NASCAR logo

The following is a list of current (as of 2006) NASCAR races from the Nextel Cup, Busch Series, and Craftsman Truck Series, along with their venues.

The naming rights for NASCAR races are usually sold to companies looking to advertise in the sport. These rights are resold to different buyers very often, sometimes every year, so obviously the names themselves will change just as often. The names listed below are the current ones.
