Charlotte Paper Discontinues Dedicated NASCAR Writer Position

I do continue to subscribe to the Charlotte paper and like the real feel of newsprint in my hand each morning. Today's announcement coincided with the Charlotte paper's latest reinvention of itself to a USA Today lookalike with LOTS of white space.
