USAR ProCup Schedule

I promised "The Legend" I would post the USAR ProCup (formerly Hooters ProCup) schedule so here it is. I think the TBA will fall to October 22 with a great track to be announced.
Chase Elliott won the series event Saturday at Rockingham Speedway followed by series points leader Brad Rogers.

You will think you are listening to or watching two different races.

I just can't get into watching FOX and Speed doing races, practice and qualifying for Cup. The network just seems to think there can't be a race without Darrell's opinions so I just don't watch very much anymore. It's sad that Darrell and Larry Mac have to be on when Phil Parsons (Speed) and Andy Petree (from ESPN) could do a much better job with Mike Joy. I need to try the radio thing to see how that works with the TV on mute.

Turn the volume down and turn Barney Hall up. Works every time.

Tim! Forgivem if I sound rude. I certainly don't mean to come across that way. BUT!!! The ARCA series has competed at the "Rock" for the past two yearsand there was not enough people there to start a good fight. I'm guilty myself for not attending but at least I knew they were there and I hope you did as well. Your post just doesn't come across that way. Forgive me if I mis-understood. With that said, The USAR ProCup Series and the UARA Late Models WILL be at Rockingham next weekend with Friday qualifying and Saturday afternoon racing. Come on out and see some of the future stars as well as some veterans on a great track. Spread the word!

I'm gonna use one of Pk's favorite tools (cut and paste) for this discussion.
I know we all love to talk about how NASCAR has changed and why we do or do NOT like the way they do things. I came across the following article hidden in the back pages of the Jayski site. Maybe it will enlighten everyone as to the "inside" workings of the sport. (Being a bit of a smart-a## here)
If NASCAR would spend half as much time working on the racing side of things as it appears in this article they do on the marketing/adminstration side, maybe they would be able to produce the "product" many of us grew up loving. Half the people on this list wouldn't know what a race car, much less a modified or sportsman, hobby stock or "bomber", is until it"hit em in the ass".
As you read thriugh the list of promotions, make a mental note of the namesyou recognize or the positions they hold. Thepost your comments as to how many you know or how much you care about the vp of broadcasting and global media strategy, the NASCAR Innovation Group, digital media initatiative (whatever the heck that is) and my personal favorite, NASCAR's green platform.
GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!
NASCAR Adds Key Talent to Executive Team, Aligns Organization To Drive Industry Growth: To drive strategic priorities and overall industry growth, NASCAR announced key additions to its executive leadership team and several organizational changes designed to better position the sanctioning body for long-term growth and to meet the immediate needs of key industry partners.
