Do you trust this guy?

I've been a bit out of touch. It's that time of year when we are so close to the end of racing that I am running out of steam. Call me a bad race fan but I look forward to the break. I believe the racing season is longer than in any other sport. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

If you haven't gotten a chance to read this article on nascar.com, you should. It kind of made me feel a bit better about the whole unknown of whether or not we might lose a race at the newly named New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Even before reading this article, what stands out in the teleconference that was held last Friday to announce the sale of NHMS was that Bruton Smith said that New Englanders would be happy with what he was going to do at the track. I would think he must realize that if we lost a race there that many wouldn't be all that happy about it. Maybe he is completely filling us with baloney, but I do not know. I want to believe that he isn't.

What do you think?

You're so very right about the race season being too long. All things being equal, I think the season should end in late September or early October.

About this blog:
I am hopeful that this will be a place where people can air their two cents' worth about a race, catch up on the gossip and share their opinions on the rules and regulations of NASCAR. I have always felt that there has been a need for such a place in Maine and that this blog helps to fill the void.
