For some fans that’s don’t keep up with NASCAR’s constantly changing names, the latest schedule can frequently leave them scratching their heads.
Different sponsors take over and you get great race names that aren’t necessarily common. No matter how many times you hear it, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 400 will conjure nostalgia instead of the competitiveness of racing.
That’s not necessarily a bad thing, however, as the novelty of a great name like that keeps instantly grabs your attention (after all I wouldn’t be writing this if this same race was another NASCAR Sprint Cup Series at Insert Speedway Here).
The great sponsor makes it easy to imagine virtually any company, television show, or product sponsoring a race, so we went ahead and created a quiz to test your race name know-how. Which of these races are legit and which are bogus?
