High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The National Auto Sport Association (NASA) is an American motorsports organization promoting road racing and high-performance driver education. Founded in 1991, NASA hosts High Performance Driving Events (HPDE), automotive rallies, time trials, autocross and amateur, club-level automotive racing, divided amongst regionally-based chapters within the United States. In September 2006, NASA held its first-ever National Championships at Mid-Ohio, the former home of the SCCA's "Runoffs". Unlike the SCCA format, the NASA National Championships are open to any driver who earns points in a minimum of five regional races (in any NASA region or combination of regions).
