Tim, this is where NASCAR really misss the Winston PR machine, who were experts at creating stars of the sport and at the same time publicizing mid-runners and backmarkers as well - something NASCAR has never been good at nor has Nextel/Sprint.

The really ironic thing here is that while New York governor Cuomo has been spewing his vitriol against North Carolina and banning travel by New York employees to North Carolina, he has jumped in bed with DIRT, which last time I checked was a subsidiary of World Racing Group, firmly headquartered in the Tar Heel state in Concord, NC in the shadows of Charlotte Motor Speedway. How does the New York guv explain that?
