We purchased Las Vegas Motor Speedway in December 1998 bringing the total number of premier speedways owned by the Company to six. This addition to our portfolio of speedways will contribute broadcast, sponsorship, and operational strength, while broadening the Company's geographical diversity. Located in one of the most dynamic cities in the United States, Las Vegas Motor Speedway offers tremendous opportunities for promotion and growth. It also brings to the Company additional NASCAR Winston Cup, Busch, and Craftsman Truck Series and Indy Racing League events. In 1998, seating and admissions growth drove a 20% increase in revenue. -

Real NASCAR: White Lightning, Red Clay, and Big Bill France'
H-NC Howell on Pierce, 'Real NASCAR: White Lightning, Red Clay, and Big Bill France' Review published on Thursday, September 22, 2011 Daniel S. Pierce. Real NASCAR: White Lightning, Red Clay, and Big Bill France. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2010. 360 pp. $30.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-8078-3384-1. Reviewed by Mark D. Howell (Northwestern Michigan College) Published on H-NC (September, 2011) Commissioned by Judkin J. Browning Getting Real: A New Interpretation of NASCAR's Folklore and Mythology Histories of “contemporary” subjects are often difficult to write. Standing too close to the topic can be a problem because sometimes an insufficient amount of time has passed to warrant a clear analysis of the sport in question. All too often, such a history can be drowned out by the present-day news surrounding the topic; a historical analysis can fall victim to the loudest and most colorful of Web sites and newspaper stories charged with covering the latest-and-greatest events within the sport itself. Writing a history of NASCAR presents both of these problems. The notion of what constitutes a useful period of time between the historical past and the knowledge-hungry present is difficult to ascertain, while mesmerizing stories about the sport of stock car racing often rely on NASCAR’s folklore in order to construct an interesting perspective on what might be misconstrued as little more than a curious regional footnote. Daniel S. Pierce has written a history of NASCAR that surpasses all previous attempts by authors-- works written by both motorsports journalists and a wide variety of academics alike--in its ability to traverse stock car racing’s evolution from its origins within the culture of bootlegging corn liquor across the American Southeast to its current role as a globally popular sport driven by loyal fans and the necessary support of corporate sponsorship. -

The CYSA introduced a propos- al to leave the gate to the soccer fields at the Southside Recreation Complex unlocked while designat- ing a single field for pick-up games and erecting a “play at your own risk” sign, in response to members of the community wanting to use the fields without CYSA approval.
