Why only 499 and not a full 500?

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron’s_499
The name is derived from a sponsorship agreement with the Aaron’s chain of lease-to-own stores. The “499” advertised distance is designed to mimic the chain’s tendencies to offer rentals “For $99” per month. Despite the name, the race is slightly over 500 miles in length.

2.66 mile track * 188 laps = 500.08 miles (not counting any Parade/Pace laps or G/W/C)
Last I knew All NASCAR Track lengths were measured 33 feet from the inside painted line.
So your mileage may “vary”

Because under Obama, we must pay the same or more for less.

Why only 499 and not a full 500? Because Aaron's refuses to go the extra mile.
