Strictly Stock
Racing Series

Strictly Stock was NASCAR's premiere series in 1949.

The name Grand National replaced Strictly Stock in 1950. It was determined that Strictly Stock sounded more like a rule or rules interpretation than a series name.

Strictly Stock's only series champion is Red Byron.
