Small businesses aren't the only ones that have hit some slick spots and speedBumps in the economy.

Spring’s coming.

Wherever you live, there’s probably a local speedway. It could be asphalt or dirt, but there are scores of local heroes who race every week for a few bucks and a trophy.

They’re sponsored by local businesses.

NASCAR is fine but, for a small fraction of what a Sprint Cup race costs to attend (plus travel, lodging, meals), you can grab a seat, make friends (who, most likely, attend every week), ask questions, and have a great time.

After the race, you won’t need a stack of expensive credentials to visit the pits. Just visit the pits and meet your local drivers.

Local, grassroots racing is alive and well in the U.S., but could always use a few more butts in the seats.

See you at the races!

Jr. has sucked for the last couple of years. certainly he is popular, but popular doesnt get the job done. Sponsorsjip likes winners and Jr. hasnt been one since he almost burned up in that Corvette.

If he doesnt do better in the first half of this year he should get out of the car and let someone else get in. That’s my feeling, and I like the guy, He is my favorite.

As for Danica, I know I will get sick of hearing announcers pushing her name every time she shows up. I guess we will soon see how she does against the big boys who arent quite so polite as the Formula drivers.

I am also tired of hearing it being called Nascar, there ist a stock car in the bunch , the only thing stock is the name tag. It’s time they stopped calling it Nascar.
