abstract="The distribution of birth months and quarterly birth months of NASCAR drivers (N = 1054) showed significant differences in quarterly birth month distributions between drivers. The highest percentage (27.1%) of drivers were born April-June. Data for the other three periods ranged from 23.6% to 24.7%. The finding was discussed in the context of the &quot;relative age effect&quot; occurring in sports wherein competitors become eligible for participation by age at a specific cut-off date.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
