Now for my next love" NASCAR and the ALABAMA GANG"
Here is a little history lesson on how they began
History of The Alabama Gang
Bobby left Miami, Florida in 1959 in search of "racing territory". He had with him his brother Donnie who rode along mainly for the adventure of the whole trip. Also along on the trip were
two other Florida youngsters, Kenny Andrews and Gil Hearn. Gil went along to drive for Kenny. As they drove into Montgomery, Alabama they spotted a very attractive 34 Chevy modified with a
Cadillac engine parked at a gas station. There they met the owner a young man named Bo Freeman. Bo showed them Montgomery Speedway. There they found out that races were being run that very
night at Dixie Speedway in Midfield, Alabama. It was a Friday Night and away they went.
Bobby finished 5th in the heat, 5th in the semi-final, and 5th in the feature. That one night paid more than any one of them had ever won in South Florida even finishing as high as second in
a special event. The next night (Sat.) Montgomery Speedway was running so they headed there. Bobby had fast time, won the heat and the semi-final, won the Australian Pursuit race and finished
second to Sonny Black in the feature. They then went over to Georgia for the peach bowl in Atlanta on Sunday Night. The next weekend they started at Dixie Speedway on Friday Night and Bobby
had engine trouble immediately and he did not get to run that night. After the races Gil decided to quit and go back to Florida so Bobby suggested to Kenny that he let Donnie drive, and they
left together for Montgomery.
Harry Mewborne owner of another winning race car, told Bobby, he would help him by selling him some used parts the next morning. Bobby got a few parts free from Harry and went to Bo Freeman’s
gas station to patch up his car. Bobby got to Montgomery Speedway late and had to start last in the feature. Boy what a night! Bobby got his first win even starting last. When the weekend was
over, Bobby went back to Miami and told his hero Red Farmer what a great place Alabama was. Red decided to come back to Alabama with Bobby and Donnie.
They all made residence in Alabama and soon traveled the Southeast winning races, a lot of races and Bobby, Donnie and Red thus became known as
"THE ALABAMA GANG" Davey Allison Tribute :aired 2 weeks after his death

Here is a small slideshow of my BUD SHOOUTOUT 08 pics ,,,
A year after Martinsville Speedway opened in 1947, NASCAR was formed. NASCAR began operation in 1948 and Martinsville Speedway ran its first NASCAR race on July 4th of that year. In 1949, Martinsville ran the sixth race in the series that eventually became the NASCAR Sprint Cup.
At slightly more than half a mile, Martinsville Speedway is the shortest track on the NASCAR Sprint Cup Circuit, but it's one of the biggest when it comes to action. It has 800-foot straights, turns banked at only 12 degrees and has been called "two drag strips with a turnaround on each end." The demanding layout consistently produces some of the wildest fender scrubbing, push and shove racing of the year.
Martinsville Speedway opened in 1947 with 750 seats and has grown continuously over the years. But, other than being paved in 1955, the track configuration has not changed.
Richard Petty, now a car owner, remains the track's leading winner with 15 victories.
They’re $2 a piece and they come wrapped in wax paper.A couple of years ago, soon after International Speedway Corp. bought the track from the family of the late Clay Earles, who had founded it, we got here one Friday and something had changed The hot dogs were being served in little foam boxes. You got them pretty much plain and had to go apply your own condiments. And they weren’t quite red enough.It was, quite frankly, an outrage.
Eddie Wood, co-owner of the Wood Brothers team from nearby Stuart, Va., was fighting mad about it. He found NASCAR president Mike Helton and demanded things be put back the way they were. Immediately.Before long, word of the crisis got back to hot dog connoisseur Bill France Jr. and phone calls were immediately made. This was serious business.
It's raining in Martinsville!!! Bring on the Sunshine!!!

Hello my friend the Talladega Track has to be one of my favorite,Bristol being another one.
Talladega Superspeedway is located in Talladega, Alabama, United States. It was constructed in the 1960s in place of abandoned airport runways by International Speedway Corporation, a business controlled by NASCAR's founding France family along with Daytona International Speedway and several other racetracks. At 2.66 miles long, Talladega is the largest oval track in the Sprint Cup Series and has seating provisions for over 175,000 patrons.
In the 2000 season, Earnhardt had a resurgence,He scored what many considered the 2 most exciting wins of the year - winning by .006 seconds over Bobby Labonte at Atlanta, then gaining seventeen positions in the final four laps to win at Talladega, claiming his only No Bull million dollar bonus.
The Craftsman Truck Series race is 250 miles (94 laps) and the ARCA race,was shortened to 300 miles in 1998, and to 250 miles in 2006 when it was moved to Friday.
Hello my friend In 1996, International Speedway Corporation began exploring the idea of building a track in the Midwest. Bonds were sold in 1998 and construction on the 1.5-mile tri-oval began a year later.
Tickets for the 2001 season went on sale on Aug. 17, 2000, and within a week, nearly 80 percent of the season tickets had been sold. Paving on the track begin in September of that year and construction was completed in the spring of 2001.
Jeff Gordon won the first two Cup events there, starting with the inaugural race on Sept.30, 2001.
Soldiers from the U.S. Army Special Operations Command will thrill race fans with a daring pre-race demonstration prior to the start of the Camping World RV 400 presented by Coleman at Kansas Speedway on September 28, 2008.
NASCAR fans will get a first hand and up-close look at a Special Operations infiltration demonstration, including a high-altitude, low-opening (HALO) parachute jump by the U.S. Army Special Operations Command’s Black Daggers.
Also, the official Ford Fusion pace car is going on a special “ride” as part of the pre-race demonstration. It will be airlifted and then offloaded onto the track by an MH-47 Chinook helicopter from the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne).
Following the pace car “delivery”, eight Special Forces Soldiers will fly into action on two MH-6 Little Bird helicopters for a simulated tactical infiltration.
Here are some fun Race Track Facts
#1 Throughout a NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series weekend at Kansas Speedway, Americrown, who handles all concessions, catering and merchandise for the track, sells more than 31,600 gallons of soda. How far could a NASCAR stock car go on 31,600 gallons of fuel? It could circle the earth 16 times before it had to make a pit stop. That's 129,272 laps around the 1.5-mile Kansas Speedway. ________________________________________________________ #2 Race fans eat 14,504 hot dogs on a typical race weekend at the track. That's enough wieners to cover 437 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup stock cars from nose to tail. ________________________________________________________ #3 About 25,000 hamburgers, which equals about 6,615 pounds, are eaten over the course of the weekend. That much meat adds up to 49 Mark Martins, the lightest driver on the NEXTEL Cup circuit at 135 pounds. _________________________________________________________ #4 Around 26,203 gallons of beer is sold. That's enough to fill a NASCAR NEXTEL Cup stock car gas tank 1,191 times. _________________________________________________________ #5 Nearly 250 yards of bratwurst are sold. _________________________________________________________ #6 About 23,200 orders of French fries are sold.
