New Sport: NASCAR
June 5th, 2007
A mere six days after unveiling the MLS stadiums, we are ready to unleash the NASCAR tracks upon all of you. Otherwise known as the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, NASCAR is the largest sanctioning body of motorsports in the United States. The three largest racing series sanctioned by NASCAR are the NEXTEL Cup, the Busch Series and the Craftsman Truck Series. NASCAR has grown to become the second most popular professional sport in terms of television ratings inside the U.S., ranking behind only the NFL.
Not being a big fan of NASCAR, I had no idea that Indianapolis Speedway maintained its own golf course comprised of 14 holes outside the track and 4 more on the infield. See for yourself here. The series of (parking?) roads surrounding Texas Speedway also look pretty cool. Stay tuned for more updates in the near future!
