The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) is a family-owned and operated business venture that sanctions and governs multiple auto-racing sports events. Bill France, Sr. founded the company in 1948 and his grandson Brian France became their CEO in 2003. NASCAR is motorsport's preeminent stock-car racing organization. The three largest racing-series sanctioned by this company are the Sprint Cup Series, the Xfinity Series, and the Camping World Truck Series. The company also oversees NASCAR Local Racing, the Whelen Modified Tour, the Whelen All-American Series, and the NASCAR iRacing.com Series. NASCAR sanctions over 1,500 races at over 100 tracks in 39 of the 50 US states as well as in Canada. NASCAR has presented exhibition races at the Suzuka and Motegi circuits in Japan, the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico, and the Calder Park Thunderdome in Australia.
NASCAR has its official headquarters in Daytona Beach, Florida, and also maintains offices in four North Carolina cities—Charlotte, Concord, and Conover. Regional offices are located in New York City and Los Angeles, with international offices in Mexico City and in Toronto. Owing to NASCAR's Southern roots, all but a handful of NASCAR teams are still based in North Carolina, especially near the city of Charlotte.
Set up lights down and then we hit the stage
I never knew anything could make me feel this way
Stay hard and give it everything we've got
One note is all I need to know
I float away yeah
To a place where everything is fine
You're standing on a mountain all your thoughts surround you and you open your eyes
Don't mean to act indifferent I guess I'm just surprised
Bombarded by the feeling coming over me
Head first I dive into a pool of energy
I float away yeah
To a place where everything is fine
You're standing on a mountain all your thoughts surround you and you open your eyes
Sometimes you'll find that happiness wears an unsuspecting disguise
I float away I float away to another place
Where nothing is the same no nothing is the same as here
I float away to a place far away from here
