  • 50 Years of NASCAR Captures All That Has Made Bill France’S Dream Into a Firm, Big-Money Reality
    < mill NASCAR OF NASCAR ■ TP'S FAST, ITS FURIOUS, IT'S SPINE- I tingling, jump-out-of-youn-seat action, a sport created by a fan for the fans, it’s all part of the American dream. Conceived in a hotel room in Daytona, Florida, in 1948, NASCAR is now America’s fastest-growing sport and is fast becoming one of America’s most-watched sports. As crowds flock to see state-of-the-art, 700-horsepower cars powering their way around high-banked ovals, outmaneuvering, outpacing and outthinking each other, NASCAR has passed the half-century mark. 50 Years of NASCAR captures all that has made Bill France’s dream into a firm, big-money reality. It traces the history and the development of the sport through the faces behind the scene who have made the sport such a success and the personalities behind the helmets—the stars that the crowds flock to see. There is also a comprehensive statistics section featuring the results of the Winston Cup series and the all-time leaders in NASCAR’S driving history plus a chronology capturing the highlights of the sport. Packed throughout with dramatic color illustrations, each page is an action-packed celebration of all that has made the sport what it is today. Whether you are a die-hard fan or just an armchair follower of the sport, 50 Years of NASCAR is a must-have addition to the bookshelf of anyone with an interest in the sport. $29.95 USA/ $44.95 CAN THIS IS A CARLTON BOOK ISBN 1 85868 874 4 Copyright © Carlton Books Limited 1998 Project Editor: Chris Hawkes First published 1998 Project Art Editor: Zoe Maggs Reprinted with corrections 1999, 2000 Picture Research: Catherine Costelloe 10 9876 5 4321 Production: Sarah Corteel Design: Graham Curd, Steve Wilson All rights reserved.

  • 2021 Marketing Information
    2021 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, thus making many of the seasons races 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 2021 with events running 2021 SCHEDULE between March and October; most are located within large southeastern markets.

  • Nascar This Week 8 - the Derrick
    NASCAR THIS WEEK 8 - THE DERRICK. / The News-Herald Wednesday, April 15, 2020 QUESTIONS & ATTITUDE Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers Is Junior Earnhardt a first-ballot lock for the Hall of Fame? Absolutely, especially compar- ing his overall numbers to some already enshrined. His 26 Cup Series wins (including two Day- tona 500s) and two Busch Series championships might fall short of what many Earnhardt fans had hoped or expected from him, but the numbers them- selves are enough, and when you consider all those “Most Popular Driver” awards, there’s no way he doesn’t make it in his first year of eligibility. Any surprises on that ballot? Just one of omission: Geoff Bodine, who has yet to make a list of nominees. Buddy Baker made the Hall of Fame with 19 career Cup wins and one Daytona 500. Bodine has 18 wins and a Daytona 500, but also piled up amazing numbers in Late Model racing before coming to NASCAR. You can’t dismiss that, considering Jerry Cook and Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s impact on the sport should make him a first-ballot Hall of Famer. [N-J/NIGEL COOK] Richie Evans are in the NASCAR Hall based on their Late Model careers. Not sure why Bodine remains overlooked. Who joins Junior? I like Red Farmer from the Pio- Predicting the 2021 neer Ballot, and unless someone can explain why Kirk Shelmer- dine doesn’t match up with the other crew chiefs already inducted, I’m not sure how you NASCAR Hall of Fame class ignore a four-time champion.
