At first I am rough, but I know how to chill.
I'm integral to NASCAR, yet mocked by the NFL.
I can create a new clause, yet summon an army.
Some know me as beer, but what am I broadly?

Oh that's a fun one!
you are a Draft
At first rough, but know how to chill
A heavy draft could disturb things, but is cooing on a hot day
Integral to NASCAR, but mocked by the NFL
Drafting behind cars / Drafting players
I can create a new clause, yet summon an army
Rough drafts in writing/editing, or Drafting as in conscripting new military recruits
Some know me as beer
As in draught beer fresh from the tap
But what am I, broadly?
Not sure if this even requires an additional answer, but perhaps it refers to the many other uses of the word "Draft"

$\begingroup$ "At first I am rough" -> first (and other early) draft is often a rough draft. "Create a new clause" might be referring to legal writing. NFL fans have hold mock drafts, I guess (aka fantasy football)? $\endgroup$– stanniusCommented Sep 4, 2018 at 22:50

$\begingroup$ I think "At first I am rough" refers to the first revision of a piece of writing being called a "rough draft," actually. $\endgroup$– Tim CCommented Sep 5, 2018 at 6:20

$\begingroup$ I was thinking there wouldn't be too references to drafting an essay... and perhaps I was also stuck on the title, but the pairs don't necessarily connect, so you could be correct.. $\endgroup$– rm-vandaCommented Sep 5, 2018 at 13:50

$\begingroup$ @rm-vanda I thought that too, which is why I kept looking and found the reference to legal drafting, the writing of clauses of contracts and laws in precise, formal language. $\endgroup$– stanniusCommented Sep 5, 2018 at 16:54
