American Stock™ is dedicated to honoring and bringing to life the rich and colorful early history of stock car racing through a series of exciting new products. Some sixty years after NASCAR was founded, American Stock™ brings the early days of racing to life again, delivering everything from an historical DVD series and must-have memorabilia, to collectibles and reinvented, vintage-inspired apparel for today's most avid, hard-core race fans.

American Stock™ founder and Virginia native John W. Warner IV blends his professional experience in both documentary film-making and race car driving (IMSA, GRAND AM, American Le Mans) in American Stock's exclusive new DVD series The Golden Era of NASCAR. In four DVDs, he pays tribute to the outrageous drive loud, journey proud™ lifestyle of the ordinary men and women who established NASCAR's unmistakable identity. Warner delves into the gritty past of one of America's most celebrated modern sports to capture its all but forgotten origins - the years from 1936 to 1971.

The inspiration for American Stock™ came to Warner during the filming of his first independent documentary on the incredible life of Wendell Scott, NASCAR's first full-time African-American driver. Scott's story, which first aired on the History Channel in 2002, led Warner to similarly poignant untold chapters of NASCAR history.

As stock car racing continues to speed its way into the hearts of new fans, American Stock™ will continue to look through its rearview mirror to remind us of the sport's founding fathers and such courageous drivers as the Fabulous Flying Flocks, Raymond Parks, Lloyd Seay, Roy Hall, Bud Moore, Curtis Turner, Sara Christian, Louis Smith, and Richard Petty, who endured danger, poverty, and a World War to give NASCAR its rightful place in American history.
