Ah. . . good to know. Thanks! I guess they got plenty of free publicity.

Fox definitely spent the day avoiding the word "NRA" in their promos and pre-race coverage. Also, several sponsors told their drivers not to be photographed under any sign that had "NRA" on it. Even worse, NASCAR said in one article that they'll now review their guidelines for tracks to choose sponssoship deals.

Sad.

They are running this race backwards, so everyone turns right.

And the driver is actually riding shotgun.

The race will be called the NRA 500 and will be run during prime time.

I love this. I hope they double their membership in one weekend. I've never been to a NASCAR race, but I can see the speedway from my upstairs home office window. I've been using the races the last couple of weeks as a background for my Sunday afternoon naps. . . still not what you'd consider a devoted fan, but the intrigue has been growing. . . and this will definitely get me to tune in.
