  • The Growth of the Nascar Industry in Charlotte, North Carolina, 1949-2000
    CITY OF RACERS: THE GROWTH OF THE NASCAR INDUSTRY IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, 1949-2000 by Bryan Paul Gable A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Charlotte 2018 Approved by: ______________________________ Dr. Mark Wilson ______________________________ Dr. Aaron Shapiro ______________________________ Dr. Ritika Prasad ii ©2018 Bryan Paul Gable ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii ABSTRACT BRYAN PAUL GABLE. City of Racers: The Growth of the NASCAR Industry in Charlotte, North Carolina, 1949-2000. (Under the direction of Dr. Mark Wilson) This study explores the development of the NASCAR industry in the city of Charlotte and its surrounding region through the second half of the twentieth century. I argue that NASCAR and Charlotte were seeking the same goals in the late twentieth century: greater national prominence and a strong relationship with corporate America. As a result, NASCAR found a technological and cultural home in Charlotte by proving its worth as a desirable and highly profitable industry. I explain how Charlotte Motor Speedway emerged from bankruptcy and became an exemplary venue for NASCAR by solidifying its reputation as the showplace of NASCAR. I also describe the culture of specialization that the Holman-Moody race team fostered in Charlotte. Later generations of Charlotte NASCAR teams would continue to embrace innovative methods for managing a race team. Finally, I discuss Charlotte’s importance as a growing urban center of the Piedmont and NASCAR’s contributions to building Charlotte’s regional identity. iv DEDICATION For my grandfather, who taught me that academic excellence is its own reward.

  • Religion of Sports Set to Debut a New Sports Docu-Series with Tom Brady on Facebook Watch
    RELIGION OF SPORTS SET TO DEBUT A NEW SPORTS DOCU-SERIES WITH TOM BRADY ON FACEBOOK WATCH ‘Tom vs Time’ Provides an Intimate Look Inside the Mind of the Greatest Competitor in Professional Football LOS ANGELES, CA – January 9, 2018 – In the game of life, Father Time is undefeated. But Father Time has never played Tom Brady. This is the underlying theme of “Tom vs Time,” a new Religion of Sports docu-series coming soon to Facebook Watch. The six-episode series delivers an unprecedented look into the life of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. The show follows Brady both on and off the field, revealing the unstoppable mental and physical preparation he relies on to continue to play at an MVP level and compete for championships. Filmmaker Gotham Chopra created the docu-series, which tracks Brady turning 40 and his quest for a record 6th Super Bowl title in thrilling, intimate fashion. In his eighteenth season, Tom Brady is at the peak of his powers and hungrier than ever. Still, the docu-series is not just about football, Brady’s disciplined approach to training, or his pursuit of another coveted championship ring. It’s also about the realities of chasing greatness while balancing a young family, aging parents, and a litany of personal and professional obligations. “I have thought for many years how cool it would be to show fans other aspects of my life and interact with them in a different way,” Tom Brady said. “I have been a part of features in magazines, newspapers and TV shows, but I’ve never tried anything like what we decided to do with this docu-series.

In a Twitter conversation, Scaramucci wrote, “Bob Kraff just gave the president the ring for last years game . the [Vladimir] Putin ring is long gone,” which many took to mean that Kraft gave Trump his personal ring from the Patriots’ victory this past February in Super Bowl LI. That was not quite accurate. Per Patriots spokesman Stacey James, the Patriots did, in fact, give Trump a championship ring, but they had one specially made for him, engraved with Trump’s name. ADVERTISEMENT Scaramucci, in a tweet Tuesday afternoon, acknowledged the ring Trump received wasn’t Kraft’s.
