  • 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.

Monday night, attorneys from law firms in Southwest Virginia, Alabama and Kansas City began courting the Board of Supervisors - seeking to be hired as Pulaski County's soldiers in that war. The opioid crisis in the U.S. has become a serious public health crisis. Drug overdose is the leading cause of death among Americans under 50, exceed- ing deaths from car accidents. According to the information presented to the supervisors Monday night, the country has "become awash in opioids." In 2015, enough opioids were prescribed in the U.S. for every American to be medicated around the block for three weeks. Sine 1999, opioid over- doses have quadrupled in the U.S. The attorneys charge that manufacturers have spent vast sums of money to fuel the epidemic.

  • Stock Car Racing in Virginia: the Sport and the Business
    STOCK CAR RACING IN VIRGINIA: THE SPORT AND THE BUSINESS 110 ■ irtually every popular sport that captures the public imagination boasts V multiple levels of competition. In baseball, for example, competition ranges from sandlots and Little League on up to the minor leagues and Major League Baseball. Car racing is much the same. From the dirt tracks and drag strips to the short tracks and NASCAR, it is a sport enjoyed by many people as spectators and participants, in many different settings. It has evolved into a very big business. For some, car racing is recreational. For others, it is a spectator sport. For still others, it is a money-making business. Some people golf regularly or join a bowling league, while others enjoy tuning their cars and racing them. For many, this is an experience that simply is fun, yet for others it leads to a career or a business. People make significant investments in horses for racing or dogs for showing, while others make truly significant financial investments in race cars. NASCAR, the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, is the most prominent organizer of stock car racing. It sanctions 1,500 races annually at 100 tracks in almost 40 states. NASCAR exceeds both golf and tennis in terms of the number of its fans and television viewers, and live audiences can exceed 200,000. Although in recent years attendance has trended downward, NASCAR still asserts that it sponsors a majority of the most-attended single-day sporting events in the world.1 1 “NASCAR,” Wikipedia (accessed May 19, 2016).

It is the intent of this group to allow these adjustments in an effort to delay major chassis changes, such as front clip replacements, until after the end of this season.
