Bill France had cut a deal with Nash to make them the Official Pace Car of NASCAR. Nash even entered NASCAR races in at least 1950 - 1952, and even won a 150 lap race at Charlotte Speedway in 1950.
After the 1950 Carrera Panamericana (which allowed only strictly stock vehicles and included more than one Nash), the No. 37 car entered a few NASCAR heats.

During the Carrera Panamericana, one Nash was running 1st when it blew a tire 10 miles short of the finish line. They changed the tire and took 3rd place.
Maybe because they could fold down the seats and sleep in the car?
