First off Happy Halloween my friend Second I hope you have a great weekend The Dickies 500 is a NASCAR Sprint Cup stock car race held at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas, USA. The inaugural race took place on November 6, 2005. The race is held on the first weekend in November each year; TMS has expressed interest in changing the date, which is also the opening weekend of deer hunting season in Texas. The race was acquired as a result of the Ferko lawsuit, which forced NASCAR to relinquish the sport's fourth major, the Mountain Dew Southern 500 and in the process end its Grand Slam, as the Southern 500 was one of the four races that made it up. Two racetracks formerly on the Winston Cup (now Sprint Cup Series) schedule were closed to make room for Texas Motor Speedway's two race dates, with the North Wilkesboro Speedway being one and The North Carolina Speedway in Rockingham being the other. There was a lot more to this lawsuit but to much to explain the details. eddie
Have a gr88t Friday & a Great Weekend, We leave
in a week for our 2 week hunting vacation to south
Ga! This will be the last race we get to watch this
year. Enjoy the race. ~Deb~
Hello my friend The Intimidator Dale Earnhardt's Record at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Most wins :___9 _____Dale Earnhardt Most Top 5s:__ 26 ____Dale Earnhardt Avg. finish:__ 9.5___ Dale Earnhardt Bruton Smith changed a lot when he purchased Atlanta International Raceway on Oct. 23, 1990, and renamed the facility Atlanta Motor Speedway. A year later, the addition of the East Turn Grandstand expanded the seating capacity by 25,000, and the 30 suites that rimmed the top gave the track a high-class look. In 2006, more than 13,000 seats were added with the building of Winners Grandstand in Turn 1, as well as new luxury seating called Club One and the East Turn grandstand was renamed the Elliott grandstand. Additionally, more than 90 motorcoach parking spaces were added along the backstretch, strengthening the fan-centric atmosphere of Atlanta Motor Speedway. The Toyota Tundra will make its ninth NCTS start at Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend. In eight previous starts at the track, Tundra drivers have combined for three victories including the spring races in 2006 (Todd Bodine), 2007 (Mike Skinner) and 2008 (Busch). Earlier this year, Busch led 39 of 130 laps for the win at Atlanta, driving the No. 51 Tundra for Billy Ballew Motorsports. Johnny Benson, driver of the No. 23 Bill Davis Racing Tundra won the NCTS race at Martinsville Saturday after passing race-leader and championship foe Ron Hornaday, Jr. with 46 laps to go. He held off all challengers to make his first victory lane visit at Martinsville's "Paper Clip". Founded in 1986, Memphis Motorsports Park is located just minutes from Graceland and world-famous Beale Street in Memphis"Home of the Blues, Birthplace of Rock 'n' Roll. "The multi-track facility includes a three-quarter-mile NASCAR oval, a one-quarter-mile NHRA championship drag strip, a 1.77-mile road course and more than 400 acres that host more than 200 events and 550,000 racers and race fans each year. The race can be seen on ESPN Classic/3 p.m Eastern Time. The race is also supposed to be simulcast on Speed. Have a great weekend eddie
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.
