All proceeds from “Hot Laps for the Troops” will benefit the Salute to Military Families program, helping to provide tickets and race day entertainment for the many men and women of the United States Armed Forces. Without the military’s support and commitment to the liberty and freedom of the American population, the entertainment of NASCAR racing at PIR and venues across the country would not be possible.

On the subject of the schedule, Dale Earnhardt Jr. spoke up for a lot of folks recently when he was asked what’s wrong with the racing. Junior doesn’t believe the racing is all that bad, but he does believe what makes it seem that way are too many races on the mile-and-a-half tracks, where they all seem to look alike.

His solution? Simple. Just build more short tracks.

”We put on some really good races at those tracks, but we keep cutting them from the schedule,” he said, referring to the loss of tracks such as Rockingham and the rumored demise of one of Martinsville’s two annual events. “We keep racing at every mile-and-a-half that we can produce in a big market, and we keep getting the same kind of racing.

”We need more short tracks. It would be fun to race on more short tracks. I think they put on good races and we can put good crowds in those seats. They’re cheaper to build. It’s easier to build a half-mile track than a mile-and-a-half for sure. It’s exciting. Maybe we’re going to swing that direction.”

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Maybe Bruton Smith should take the advice to heart and reconfigure the Atlanta Motor Speedway into a Bristol clone.

– As it will all season, the sagging economy is this year’s biggest NASCAR story, and the news got worse this past week when the No. 8 owned by the AIG of NASCAR, Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing, was shut down due to lack of sponsorship. :(
