The first race officially sanctioned by NASCAR took place on June 19, 1949. The question is — where?

The first "Strictly Stock" NASCAR race took place on the dirt track that's now the Charlotte Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina. Glenn Dunaway's triumph in the 200-lap race was witnessed by around 13,000 people and helped pave the way for the evolution of stock car racing.
