Historic Sportscar Racing (HSR), based in Daytona Beach, Florida, has launched the HSR NASCAR Classic presented by Petty's Garage, a new series for the organization's growing Group 8 Historic Stock Cars division.

The series will debut at VIRginia International Raceway during the IMSA Michelin GT Challenge weekend on August 23-25.

The class will be open to stock cars that have been retired from active competition. Eligible NASCAR Classic cars include those built to previous NASCAR rule book specifications for Cup, Xfinity, Truck and ARCA competition. Current editions of the rules-eligible cars in each series, such as the Cup series Generation 7 chassis, are not eligible in NASCAR Classic competition.

Additionally, all rules-eligible cars must carry authentic and period-correct liveries previously seen in NASCAR competition over the years. A maximum of 30 select entries will be accepted by HSR for each of 2024’s HSR NASCAR Classic rounds.
