Buy NASCAR Merchandise

1. Go to the races. There are almost always vendors inside and outside the track on race days. In between laps, get up and browse their wares to see what they have that you couldn't possibly live without.
2. Barter with other fans. You may have a dozen identical versions of the exact NASCAR watch a friend wants. Trade one of them for that NASCAR lamp you've been coveting for years.
3. Try the sporting goods stores in your area. NASCAR drivers often authorize these stores to carry their licensed merchandise. Big chains are your best bet for finding NASCAR merchandise, though smaller local stores can sometimes score a license for a particular driver's products.
4. Learn to appreciate flea markets. Essentially super-sized garage sales, flea markets have something to offer everyone, even the most intense NASCAR fans. Offerings change frequently, so stop by your local flea market often.
5. Have a look at an online auction. You never know what treasures you will find there. With the dizzying variety of NASCAR-themed products in the world, you're sure to find something special to add to your collection.
6. Shop at the NASCAR.com Superstore (see Resources below). This is the official store on the Web for NASCAR merchandise. You can find hundreds of products bearing the NASCAR logo among its offerings.

Tips & Warnings

• Remember, there are a lot of counterfeiters out there. NASCAR has been particularly hard hit by these criminals in recent years. Tracks all over the country are trying hard to identify counterfeit NASCAR merchandise and get it off the streets. If you have any doubts about the authenticity of any piece of NASCAR merchandise you see, ask the seller detailed questions about its origin and licensing. If you still have concerns, don't buy the product. Instead, call the local police and have them look into the matter.
