Come on Daytona!
- NASCAR officials are looking for 30 million dollars for the sponsorship of the soon to be former Busch Series. NASCAR's second series garnered 15 million dollars the last time the series was up for sponsorship, but with the new television deal with ESPN and increased popularity, NASCAR is doubling the price. Companies rumored to be expressing interest in sponsoring the series include Walmart, Subway, Samsung, Allstate and the sponsor that would provide the series with coolest possible name -- Dunkin Donuts.
- Goodyear and NASCAR agreed to a five year contract extension that'll keep NASCAR in Goodyear tires through 2012.
- Only 11 days, 16 hours and 31 minutes and 52 seconds to go until the Daytona 500 at the time of posting.
- Championship provisional may only be used six times during the season now.
- The schedule for Speedweeks has been posted.
- The new design for nascar.com has officially been launched with lots of snazzy new features. The site is much improved from the previously cluttered design. (And if you didn't notice, the sports.yahoo.com site has also been redesigned.)
- Tony Stewart continues to be a great guy off the track, because while NASCAR still lacks any pension plan for former drivers, Tony Stewart donates out of his own pocket to help out former racers.
- This just in, Tony Stewart still a hypocritical asshole on the track.
- Lacking any other exciting news, everyone is still debating where Dale Jr. will end up next year. (No, at the bottom of a bottle of Budweiser is not an option).
- Remember to comment with your email address if you want to participate in the SB fantasy racing game.
