Sorry, but you are wrong. Pay out that hard earned money.

Reporting from down South, the local short tracks are suffering and crowds are down. Will probably be several tracks that don't open in 2009.

But, people have bigger things to worry about. My town had zero gas for sale most of last week. Fans are reluctant to drive very far out of town for fear of not finding gas (or, if they find it, having to pay too much).

If you follow any of the racing message boards, you'd know that the Atlanta/North Georgia/Eastern Alabama it has been even tougher to get gas.

USCS sprint car race was cancelled at Carolina Speedway last Friday due to lack of gas available in the Charlotte area.

In my opinion, Regan Smith got robbed today by typical NASCRAP bull####. And yes, they did let Earnhardt Jr. do the same thing a few years ago on the last lap going thru turns 3/4.
