Back in it's infancy, NASCAR was a far different animal than it is today. Keep in mind that the "SC" in NASCAR stand for "Stock Car", meaning as it comes from the factory. Obviously, now, while a driver may be driving a Ford, Chevy, or Mazda in a NASCAR race, it is really in name only. The cars share very little in common with their namesakes.
One of the purest forms of racing today is the Sports Car Club of America (founded in 1944), which Motor Trend calls "the backbone of amateur road racing in this country". One of the most popular and growing segments of the SCCA is the "Spec Miata", and they've even started a pro version this year.
The Miata's reputation has always been that of a great driver's car, tough and affordable, which makes it a great choice for people who want to get into competitive racing without breaking the bank.
