Nascar Sells Out… Again
Nov 5th
It’s not really anything new that Nascar is selling out. In fact, the way that Nascar is selling out isn’t new either. Yet, I’m still going to share this and air my frustrations.
Nascar has altered the length of a race to coincide with a new sponsor for the race. The annual event at Las Vegas Motor Speedway has always been a 400-mile event. But come 2009, the race is being extended to 427-miles, for the new Shelby 427.
I hate this so much. In no other sport can a sponsor actually alter the event. But, this is Nascar, and sponsors rule the roost.
This abomination got me thinking what other sponsors could have their own personalized races:
Dr.Pepper 23 Flavors of Speed
Heinz 57 at The Glen
US Government 700Billion Showdown

Thats right, I’m selling my iPhone to make room for the new 3G version coming in July. Check out my listings on eBay and Craigslist. And don’t be shy 
In other news, I’ve been invited to be a contributor to SEO Shootout, a new blog from Talentzoo. This was a totally unexpected move, but I am very excited to begin blogging. Speaking of, SEO Shootout will be launching later this week. Make sure to check it out!
And finally, Dale Jr. ended his winless streak and broke through to Victory Lane today at Michigan. Very good to see him get back to his winning ways. Go Dale!
