Isn't this like Texas without football?
North Carolina Speedway will lose its only remaining race and Darlington Raceway will have just one as part of a realignment plan for 2005, a NASCAR source told The Associated Press on Thursday.
I know jack about NASCAR, but even I know that a lot of its roots come out of the deep south, and North Carolina is a large part of that. Losing NASCAR after this season is going to get somebody fired from their job, and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it turned into a political issue on a local or state level.
Texas Motor Speedway is going to get one of the two races leaving NC next year. That's got to be a bit of a surprise considering the Speedway's troubled start. From what I know, I would guess that problems with the track at TMS that had some drivers claiming that the track would probably get someone killed before long have been resolved to a very satisfactory degree. I'm sorry for the state of NC, but gotta give home state props to TMS. This is quite a coup.
