In 1952, the sport of organized Stock Car Racing in Canada was only 3 years old having been established in 1949 with the forming of the National Association For Stock Car Auto Racing, NASCAR.
Prior to that in the 30s and after the war stock car racing was unorganized chaos with acceptation to a few organizations such as AAA hosting a few successful events including the original Daytona Beach & Road stock car racing events. However prior to 1949 the majority of stock car racing was a very unprofessional sport.
By 1952 stock car racing was a thriving, thrilling, and exciting new sport with race tracks popping up all over the United States & Canada.
This is a look at a an original 1952 stock car Racing Program from the opening season of the Canadian National Exhibition, Exhibition park weekly stock car racing program. A new race track in Canada.
