Suing NASCAR?

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 2006)

Love the movie. Love NASCAR. But for all of you NASCAR fans out here in movieland, I did hear something disturbing the other day. Apparently the owner of the KY Speedway wants a Nextel race, and he's decided that suing NASCAR is the best way to get one. Sounds pretty ridiculous to me. From what I gather, he wants a system where track owners bid on races, which seems to me would mean that a lot of the traditional, older tracks would be forced out of race. Anyway, there is a group fighting the lawsuit and they have an online petition at their website: http://www.thetracksuit.info/. I signed it because I think NASCAR is about fans, traditions, and races, not corporate money and owners. So thanks for letting me rant and feel free to pass along!
