As much as I keep trying, I cannot get myself to sit down and watch Eldora. I tried last night but couldn't get through it. So the title of my blog entry was:
"Will you pay $24.95 to watch tonight?"

Well my answer to my own blog is this: Yeah, I'll pay $24.95. It seems I just can't get myself to watch it. What a waste. Not to mention that that $24.95 is the equivalent of 6 gallons of gas! Uugh.

Speaking of gas prices... did you hear that New Hampshire Motor Speedway will be giving away gas cards? As part of the pre-race festivities for the LENOX Industrial Tools 301 on Sunday, June 29, NHMS will be selecting 20 lucky racefans to receive $500 worth of gas cards from Sunoco. To be eligible, all you have to do is purchase your ticket before the close of business on June 25.

Also, before the start of the race, 10 race fans will be selected to watch the race on Sunday, September 14th from the VIP Suite. Each of the 10 will be allowed to bring one guest.

In addition to all that, one lucky person could have their mortgage or rent paid through December 2008 (up to $2,500 per month).

In the press release, Jerry Gappens, executive vice president and general manager for the speedway says: "Our fans are our greatest asset. In these challenging economic times, we need to recognize those who support the speedway by giving them an opportunity to enhance their experience with some innovative rewards. Today, people have to make choices on how they invest their time and money on entertainment.

We want them to choose New Hampshire Motor Speedway and the LENOX Industrial Tools 301. This program is a thank you to our loyal ticket buyers and certainly is an incentive for those fans thinking about coming, but are still on the fence."

So do you feel lucky? Are you a ticket holder yet? If not, what are you waiting for? The race is only 17 days away... Splurge a little, you're worth it.

I'll be back tomorrow with my Michigan picks.
