American Stock Car Challenge
American Stock Car Racing (ASC Racing) provides a venue for late model stock cars similar to those used in NASCAR, Southwest Tour, Grand National, ASA and other series to compete on road courses in the United States. The series was designed to bring the speed and passion of stock car racing to a level where drivers and teams without large budgets can afford to field competitive cars.
ASC Racing includes a "spec" class (ASC) which requires that competitors use the GM 350 ZZ4, GM 350 ZZ4 Fast Burn, Ford 351 Windsor or the Dodge 360 Magnum, Goodyear D2602 10" slicks, sealed shocks, and other items to keep the field even in terms of car performance and costs.
For those who just want to join ASC Racing with their current stock cars without modifying them to meet the "spec" requirements, ASC Racing also offers the ASC Unlimited Class (ASC-U). ASC-U is open to any stock car from any series that wants to join other stock car racers at any event.

Famous quotes containing the words american, stock, car and/or challenge:
“The quality of American life is an insult to the possibilities of human growth ... the pollution of American space, with gadgetry and cars and TV and box architecture, brutalizes the senses, making gray neurotics of most of us, and perverse spiritual athletes and strident self-transcenders of the best of us.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“After supper she got out her book and learned me about Moses and the Bulrushers; and I was in a sweat to find out all about him; but by and by she let it out that Moses had been dead a considerable long time; so then I didn’t care no more about him; because I don’t take no stock in dead people.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“One way to do it might be by making the scenery penetrate the automobile. A polished black sedan was a good subject, especially if parked at the intersection of a tree-bordered street and one of those heavyish spring skies whose bloated gray clouds and amoeba-shaped blotches of blue seem more physical than the reticent elms and effusive pavement. Now break the body of the car into separate curves and panels; then put it together in terms of reflections.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Our challenge as parents is to be patient enough to allow our children to take ten minutes to do something that would take us two seconds. We need to allow our children to develop what I call their “struggle muscle.” This is developed the same way any other muscle develops, through regular exercise.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
