Daytona

[Joe]

It grinds my gears when NASCAR tries to compare one era to another. If the races 30-40 years ago were run with lucky dogs, free passes, cautions for "debris" and other gimmicks that bunch the pack up, there would be more cars in the hunt and finishing on the lead lap.

Look at the Darlington race earlier this year. The first caution flag didn't wave until about 200 laps in, and there were but a dozen or so cars still on the lead lap.

The only way...

I was reading an interesting interview of the Daytona track President. He mentioned that after ISC invests all the millions into the new injectors and the new neighborhoods on the frontstretch, that the track could then easily be used for things like football games and other sports events. I think he mentioned concerts too, but it's been used for concerts very successfully already. Might be a hint of the mindset of the France family. Already setting up to become stick and ball franchise owners. I wonder how important the racing would be to a wanna be football team owner like Brian France?

Brian France EVER would get a NFL franchise,is to offer SAMMY KAHN about a Billion and a half dollars for the Jacksonville franchise.Think about it...Kahn,who owns the Jaguars,has beemcryptic about what he's going to do with the team.So that big piece of tral estate in front of the tri-oval,can easily fit a football field.Remember,that this was done back in the early days of Daytona.

Your right Matt.He's a wanna-be,who continue's to watch NASCAR's popularity slowly drain away.....
