Is NASCAR skidding into 2009? The Goose May Have Laid Her Last Golden Egg.

This is a very good article about your thoughts on the future of NASCAR. Ya know with all the challenges that the current economy has pushed on the normal everyday family. Now we see that even NASCAR is going to have to pull back some. Racing and the people who love it will continue to follow the sport no matter what or how it moves into the near future. After reading your blog and the mention of Richard Petty’s comments you can see why he is truly the KING.

Is Bruton Smith going to break away from NASCAR

Ya know it might be a good thing to see Bruton Smith breaking away from NASCAR. I really miss the old days of SOUTHERN NASCAR. I found this blog to be a great take on "What if"...

http://motorsportsweeklynews.com/2008/12/08/bruton-smiths-stock-car-circuit/

Ya know when you have Mr. Smith and Humpy Wheeler working on a project, ya never know what might happen. Remember that Kmart ruled the roost during the 70’s and 80’s - Then a small store promoter in Arkansas that had a great idea turned the table – We now call it WALMART. As a kid growing up in the south I really miss what made the sport great and NASCAR lost that idea a few years ago. With the economy in the shape it is, you might be surprised whom might jump on board as major sponsors. What the heck, it might be a dream but NASCAR could be surprised by a little redneck sport knocking at their door. Oh yea – NASCAR was a redneck sport, but they forgot what made them who they are today.

Superlift Level-It Torsion Key Leveling Kits

Superlift Level-It Torsion Key Leveling Kits

Superlift's new Level-It systems offer economical ways to eliminate the factory nose-down rake on late-model trucks and SUVs.They accommodate larger tires/plus-sized wheels, correct suspension sag or compensate for a winch or snowplow. For torsion-bar IFS trucks, Level-It kits use replacement Torsion Keys that provide 1.5"-2.5" of adjustable lift, fitting up to 35" tires on some applications. Made from forged steel, the Torsion Keys are 25% stronger than OE and are indexed to provide lift without increasing torsion-bar pre-load. Torsion-bar Level-It kits include any necessary adjusting bolts (to prevent "over-cranking" the bars) and shock extensions to accomplish the job in about two hours. Applications are available for 1999-2008 4WD and 2WD Chevy/GMC 1500, 1997-2008 Ford F-150 4WD and 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 4WD.
