2019 MARKETING INFORMATION WHAT IS THE CARS TOUR? The CARS Tour was formed out of the former USAR Hooters ProCup Series, long considered the premiere short track development series in the 2000s for drivers looking to advance their careers to the upper levels of NASCAR. Because so many CARS Tour competitors have dreams of competing in NASCAR, the cars raced in the CARS Tour closely resemble the racers seen in NASCAR except with less expensive technology and rules to control costs. The CARS Tour hosts two types of popular pavement short track racing divisions, with most being held as dual division events. This allows fans to catch the action of both the Super Late Model and Late Model Stock divisions racing at the same track on the same night, for the price of just one ticket. Late model stock cars, a machine from which the NASCAR Xfinity Series cars originated in the 1980s and is still popular in the southeast today, weigh in at over 3100 lbs, teaching drivers car control and momentum as they advance their career. The super late model cars boast nearly 600 horsepower and weigh in at less than 2800 lbs, the true speed demons of short track racing where drivers learn to handle large amounts of horsepower. The CARS Tour has attracted teams from across the motorsports industry, including teams competing annually owned by NASCAR notables Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kyle Busch. In addition the tour has grown on loyal veteran short track drivers that fans have grown accustom to. The CARS Tour races at nearly a dozen tracks over the course of 2019 with events running 2019 SCHEDULE between March and November; most are located within large southeastern markets.

    RACING, REGION, AND THE ENVIRONMENT: A HISTORY OF AMERICAN MOTORSPORTS By DANIEL J. SIMONE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2009 1 © 2009 Daniel J. Simone 2 To Michael and Tessa 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A driver fails without the support of a solid team, and I thank my friends, who supported me lap-after-lap. I learned a great deal from my advisor Jack Davis, who when he was not providing helpful feedback on my work, was always willing to toss the baseball around in the park. I must also thank committee members Sean Adams, Betty Smocovitis, Stephen Perz, Paul Ortiz, and Richard Crepeau as well as University of Florida faculty members Michael Bowen, Juliana Barr, Stephen Noll, Joseph Spillane, and Bill Link. I respect them very much and enjoyed working with them during my time in Gainesville. I also owe many thanks to Dr. Julian Pleasants, Director Emeritus of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program, and I could not have finished my project without the encouragement provided by Roberta Peacock. I also thank the staff of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program. Finally, I will always be grateful for the support of David Danbom, Claire Strom, Jim Norris, Mark Harvey, and Larry Peterson, my former mentors at North Dakota State University. A call must go out to Tom Schmeh at the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame, Suzanne Wise at the Appalachian State University Stock Car Collection, Mark Steigerwald and Bill Green at the International Motor Racing Resource Center in Watkins Glen, New York, and Joanna Schroeder at the (former) Ethanol Promotion and Information Council (EPIC).

    COMP Cams to Take Part in NASCAR Throwback Program

    COMP Cams® To Take Part In NASCAR Throwback Program During This Weekend’s Southern 500 Memphis, TN – COMP Cams® has been a part of NASCAR for nearly 40 years. This weekend at Darlington Raceway the valve train company will use a special throwback decal to celebrate its heritage alongside a variety of teams, drivers, sponsors and media. Since its inception in 1976, COMP Cams® has worked with a veritable who’s who in NASCAR, including the likes of Dale Earnhardt, Cale Yarborough, Terry Labonte and many more. In fact, Buddy Baker was even running a COMP® camshaft when he turned in the fastest Daytona 500 ever recorded with his Waddell Wilson-prepared “Gray Ghost” in 1980. Today COMP Cams® is the Official Camshaft Manufacturer of NASCAR, and the brand’s decals adorn the front fenders of nearly every car running in each and every NASCAR series. The return of this weekend’s Southern 500 to its traditional Labor Day date provides a perfect opportunity for COMP® to bring back a retro decal, and even a retro name. Darlington viewers this week will see a white “Competition Cams” decal in an old-school, script-style font instead of the brand’s familiar red, black and white logo with an integrated checkered flag. The timing of the throwback program is perfect for COMP Cams®, as the Memphis-based company will be celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2016. A number of events are planned to celebrate the valve train leader’s fascinating history, including its longstanding partnership with NASCAR and its unique personalities.
