NASCAR is the main stock car racing series in the United States, known for close pack racing on oval tracks and loud V8 powered cars. Short trackside recordings like this one have been shared on soundboards and in video edits for years because no other motorsport sounds quite the same. The rising and falling engine note works as a recognisable shorthand for American racing, so editors reuse it for memes, game footage, toy car videos and any scene that needs instant speed without showing a real circuit.
