Through the completion of the 2011 season, Nascar has completed a total of
2,318 races spanning 63 years of racing. It is impossible to collect a ticket from them all due to small dirt tracks (and paved) from the 1950's-1960's simply issuing a small "admit one" ticket with no mention of Nascar, the date, or the track.
I still have managed to collect a ticket to
1,297 points paying races since 1949. If you count special non-points races such as the Bud Shootout, All-Star races, Qualifying races at Daytona, IROC, and Daytona Busch races the number is
1,453.
In the
40 racing seasons of the "Modern Era" from 1972 to the present, Nascar has run a total of
1,275 points paying races. I've managed to collect a ticket to
1,091 different races which is
85%.
For races from 1949-1971 I've collected
206 different tickets. That's still good for
20% of the total races run (1,043).
Nascar Ticket Stub Collection
I collect nascar ticket stubs, both unused and used. I also collect the old ticket brochures/flyers as well as media credentials such as garage and pit passes.
I created this website as a way to reach out to other collectors of Nascar memorabilia by means of trading items. I have an extensive trade list with over 700 different tickets for trading purposes and have added roughly 300 tickets to my collection by trading.
.
I've developed a custom database that keeps track of every item in my memorabilia collection. In addition to keeping track of every ticket from each speedway and each race year, every ticket is scanned and catalogued. Some stats at a glance include total number of tickets, unused tickets, tickets by year, tickets by track, tickets currently needed, price paid, year acquired, percentages, and much more.

If you have a large group of tickets for sale, please feel free to contact me. I'm always buying large lots, including older programs and brochures. Email me to buy, sell, trade, or if you have any questions.
Some stats for the collection: 1300+ different tickets from 1949-current, 600+ different brochures, 300+ tickets are unused, 100's of garage and media passes, and many autographed items.
