After briefing NASCAR Decades: The 90s, The 80s and The 70s, along with The List: Dale Earnhardt Sr., it’s time to take a long look back at the man who made today’s stock-car racing possible: Bill France Sr. Known as “Big Bill” due to his 6-foot-5 stature, France founded NASCAR in 1948. He also built Daytona International Superspeedway and Talladega Superspeedway before passing away in 1992. This edition of TrackPass’ NASCAR Hall of Fame Biography series documents France’s legacy.
