Just forwarding some racing news.

There's only one person who could have saved DEI from the crapper, unfortunatly he's a Hendrick driver now.

No. The cost of racing at that level is directly proportionate to the amount of money comapanies have laying around that needs burned/laundered. These teams that are failing will come around again with the economy.

Maybe this is the time NASCAR should think about some revamping......Oh, yea, it is NASCAR isn't it?

Possibly the millions of dollars that fans spend to get their favorite driver's merch is what drives the teams to spend the millions they do. How many people did you used to see wearing a #8 or #3 tshirt, hat, jacket or whatever else?

Some of these racers make more in commercials than their older counterparts made in thier entire Racing careers

mine are - go back to 1967 body styles , big blocks , rock hard tires , sit about 8 inches off the ground
run at short tracks every wednsday night -ban power steering
