What does the anagram NASCAR stand for?

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.

NASCAR is second only to the National Football League in terms of television viewers and fan numbers.

FYI. NASCAR is not an Anagram, it's an ACRONYM.

johnespo, Your praise is so hollow. How can this possibly be considered such a fine question when it confuses an anagram with an acronym or an excellent recap when the answer misses the details by mixing up the prepositions "of" and "for"?

You gave me a 'wrong' answer. I just picked the most applicable. It's 'for Stock" NOT 'of Stock'. Get your act together and fix everyone's answer to CORRECT. There was NO correct answer provided in your 4 choices, so everyone's winning streaks are terminated.

Hate it when the answer is wrong because my shaky hand doesn't get to the right spot!

Been a fan for many years. And cliffj, it was not "started by whisky runners." And the founders were not criminals. NASCAR was founded by Bill France in 1948 in Daytona FL. Several of the early drivers had hot rods, mainly souped-up Fords, that they had used in transporting their family's potent beverages. They loved to drive fast, and had to in order to survive. Junior Johnson was one, and there were some others, but your sweeping generalization suggests a lack of actual knowledge about the sport and the organization.
