NASCAR BANQUET IN CHARLOTTE


Current NASCAR

It's obvious that the brain trust in Daytona wants to distance its self from the Roots of NASCAR which is the South. They will not, In my opinion have the banquet in the region where it all started. They are afraid they will be perceived as NOT a national or global attraction.
Just by putting on such an uninteresting show they show a total lack of understanding about the whole program. The fact they used entertainers with NO race interest or knowledge shows me they are only trying to make it appear as a national show. Everyone watching the banquet knows where and who started it and would not mind traveling to Charlotte to see it. I have been to Vegas about 8 times for national trade shows and quite frankly it dowsnt show me anything special..... Jmho.

Never in a million years will this happen for the above stated reasons....It makes to much sense.What a brilliant suggestion and would generate much needed funds for the Hall Of Fame and local charities. I sure like Mr.Higgins way of thinking.

PK, The "Silver Moon" was a restaurant in Taylorsville, NC. Maybe they were the sponsor/owner...I have a match book from the early 50's that says they were on Hwy Rt. 16 appx. 3 miles south of town and offer fine dining and great service. Its one of about 5,000 different ones in my collection.

Brad Daugherty's Comment About Brad Kesolowski's Championship


Current NASCAR

Guys, At least he went on to correct himself. Lets be careful we don't get defensive and pick on a nice deserving guy. Let me, as a basketball fan tell a few fact's that impress me very much about him as a person.
He entered college as a 16 yr. old and graduated on time in 4 years which is rare for a talented guy who's 7 feet tall. He had several offers to turn pro early but wanted his degree and wanted it on time. After college he has several successful business deals including auto dealerships,a waste management co. and a real estate company. Active in several charities and started the Presbyterian Home For Needy children in Black Mountain, NC. He personally see's to an annual scholarship to a child from that home to the college of their choice.
Lets not forget that he choose the uniform # 43 in pro basketball to honor his idol the King.....
Maybe he's been working with Rusty to long....lol....
