NASCAR is all set to celebrate its 75th anniversary next year and they are ready to do it with style. The American motorsport will be celebrating this mark with a throwback logo from the past and looks of the future.
The NASCAR fans are sure to appreciate the logo, as they have a lot to offer. The logo is based on NASCAR’s trademark Oval tracks. This was inspired by the brand’s second logo, which was introduced back in 1956.

Moreover, the diamond ring in the center of the new logo has five stripes depicting the five different logos in the sport’s long history.
Interestingly, the NBA, another American sport, similarly celebrated its 75th anniversary by introducing a new logo.
NASCAR fans share a mixed feedback for the new logo
As the sport has touched its Diamond Jubilee, some fans loved the new logo, while some didn’t appreciate it that much.

As we’ve already mentioned, not everybody was a fan of this new logo. While many condoned the idea, others pointed out the source for this. Citing the uncanny resemblance to the NBA, fans called out for the same type of logo introduction in NASCAR.

Both NBA and NASCAR logos have a diamond on their logo. But what’s the reason behind this? This is because the Diamond depicts the Diamond Jubilee, the milestone known for touching the 75th year. Although the makers of this logo can refer to NASCAR and NBA’s close relationship with age and hence justifying their resemblance.
