NASCAR Short Track Division

The NASCAR Short Track Division was a short-lived series brought forth in 1952 by NASCAR president and founder Bill France Sr. The series consisted of short tracks, NASCAR defines a short track as any track less than one mile in length. NASCAR fans know that short track racing is defined by bumping and banging, short tempers and fast action. Ask NASCAR fans to name their favorite race track and more than half will name a short track even though only 6 of the 36 races are held on the three remaining short tracks on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule.
