The idea of the series was to draw from the popularity of other open-wheel racing events such as the Indianapolis 500.[1] History1952 season{{main|1952 NASCAR Speedway Division}}The first Speedway Division race was held at Darlington Raceway and was won by Buck Baker with a Cadillac engine.[1][2] The series' second race was held at Martinsville Speedway on May 25, with only 17 entries.[3] The pole at Martinsville was won by Bill Miller in an "Olds 88 Special".
