NASCAR Trending report using Goggle research

Current NASCAR

OK, today something a little different. I have attached a link to the Google trending report for searches on the internet. Type the word NASCAR in the search box. I think it is very interesting. First, you see a visible decline over the past five years..Second, notice the variations in interest at times of the year, especially in the latter months....Tells me people are tuning out when the chase starts... http://www.google.com/insights/search/#

New Nascar Book Includes Loads of Artifacts

General

I agree with your observations regarding Deb Williams. She has been a friend for many years and I respect her as a journalist. Visually a very good book..Nice look back at history. With that said, i will point out that this book, along with the others in the series make me slightly nervous. Unfortunately there have been MANY attempts by unscrupulous people to pass these "reproductions" off as originals and sell them on ebay and other sites. They didn't make the reproduction aspect as apparent or obvious on the artifacts as they should have...As someone who collects real vintage memorabilia this book and the prior one are good references for spotting fakes....trust me, they will show up. So, if nothing else, at least flip through the book at your local bookstore so you will know when such items show up in the market place.

Richard Petty article from 1969 about switch to Ford

Saw this article in a program from Rockingham in 1969. Good information about his switch to Ford
