INTRODUCTION The National Association of Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) has become the largest and most influential motor sports league in the world. Multi-million-dollar contracts for drivers, sponsors, and equipment make an investment into a team a huge financial risk. As a result, many teams are not created or created fairly. Most recently, Michael Waltrip Racing (MWR), which had committed sponsors and employees, was forced to shut down due to the economic costs of running a team.1 In response to this, teams formed the Race Team Alliance (RTA), a non-union association of team owners with a goal of getting more equity in individual teams.2 The RTA, in conjunction with NASCAR, formed a chartering system.

  • TONY STEWART: Driver, Owner, Philanthropist
    TONY STEWART: Driver, Owner, Philanthropist Birthdate: May 20, 1971 Birthplace: Columbus, Indiana Hometown: Columbus, Indiana Residence: Columbus, Indiana Social Media: Facebook (@TonyStewart), Twitter (@TonyStewart) and Instagram (@TSRsmoke) DRIVER: Pick a racing series. Choose a style of racecar. Name a venue. Chances are, Tony Stewart has proven victorious – in and out of the driver’s seat. After a 20-year NASCAR driving career, the last 18 of which were spent in the NASCAR Cup Series, Stewart retired from his NASCAR driving duties following the 2016 season to focus on his co-ownership of Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) with industrialist Gene Haas, and to partake in the kind of open-wheel dirt racing where his path to NASCAR began. Since first wheeling a go-kart in 1978 at a Westport, Indiana, racetrack, Stewart went on to score 12 driving championships. His most widely-known titles are the three he scored in the NASCAR Cup Series. Stewart earned his first crown in 2002 by beating veteran racer Mark Martin by 38 points, a second in 2005 when he bested Greg Biffle by 35 points and a third in 2011 when he outdueled Carl Edwards by virtue of a tiebreaker. The two ended the season tied in points, but Stewart’s five-win tally trumped Edwards’ lone victory. Championships begat championships for Stewart. The Columbus, Indiana, native came to NASCAR in 1999 by way of the IndyCar Series, where he was the series champion in 1997. And before he made his mark in Indy cars, Stewart made a name for himself in the rough-and-tumble world of the United States Auto Club (USAC).

  • One Last Call
    Remembering Alan One More Call BY TOM ROBERTS Tom Roberts was very close to Alan Kulwicki. The two men came together after Roberts wrote a Kulwicki story in a local race paper during the early ASA days.. From then on, Roberts was Kulwicki's publicist, friend and advisor. The two are pictured here at Atlanta last November, along with Roberts' wife, Joni, Roberts was supposed to be on the plane the night i t went down. My last regular phone call from Alan Kulwicki came on Monday, March 29. Oh, how I wish I could have another. Photo by David Chobat We knew there was a need for at least one weekly personal chat. It came in the form of a phone call. It was time management-Kulwicki-style . I refer to it as a regular call because it was part of a routine that Alan and I established back in January. As busy as both of our schedules were, we knew there was a need for at least one weekly personal chat. It came in the form of that call. It was time management-Kulwicki-style. We would talk about the past weekend's race and then discuss what we had planned for the u pcoming weekend. He'd fill me in on the team's preparation and give me his personal insight on what he expected. I would try to confirm the arrangements I had in conjunction with promotional appearances and so forth. He would make light of Rusty's success this year and say, "Man, Rusty sure can be cocky." I sensed a deep -down love and respect between these two guys from day Sock Car Racing (July 1993) Remembering Alan one.
