I realize it is not the Kentucky Derby; however, many in NASCAR and NASCAR fans have wanted this race for YEARS!   Kentucky Speedway in Sparta, Kentucky is going BIG TIME!

nascar: Have We Seen the LAST of the Start and Park Real Estate Agents? - 03/22/11 07:56 PM
In NASCAR at the "CUP" level, there are teams that are called "start and park" meaning they have enough resources/money/sponsorship to field one car for a race.  If they WRECK that car during practice or during the race, they have no other "resource" or back-up car in their hauler and can not continue with the remaining races in the season.  Therefore, they do limited practice, they start the race and as soon as possible, and then they park their car behind the wall.As they get more funding/$pon$or$hip and more resources, they can add a second/backup car and may be able to … (13 comments)

nascar: YES! There IS a NASCAR Connection to Japan! - 03/17/11 11:52 PM
The NASCAR Busch/Nationwide series have raced outside of the US.....they have raced in Canada, Mexico AND Japan. In the 1990s, the series raced at Suzuka Circuit with Rusty Wallace * no relation * winning in November, 1996. These races are usually on "road track" circuits * with right/left turns and hills * much like Watkins Glen and my FAV * Sears Point/Infenion raceway in Sonoma, CA. 
When teams race in Mexico City, most team haulers are cleared through customs at the HUGE UPS facility in El Paso, TX.

nascar: NASCAR's MOST POPULAR Driver says Hybrid Electric Car not THERE Yet! - 03/04/11 01:50 AM
I know that he has been NASCAR's most popular driver since FOREVER AND that he is one of the wealthiest in the sport; however, he ALSO makes A LOT OF SENSE for someone who talks like he grew up in the South * that's RIGHT * he DID grow up in the South and his family has owned a Chevrolet dealership for decades.             http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/dale-earnhardt-jr-chevy-volt-good-produc Maybe it does not take a genius to see that a $48,000 car that needs to be PLUGGED in AT NIGHT is not the best option for many American drivers....I'm just saying!
