		NASCAR denies any such plans and in fact suggests there cannot be Grand National in Mexico, that BGN can suffice at the road course south of the border.
		NASCAR returned in 1979 but was finally dropped after 1981 amid complaints about the heat of its June date and the poor condition of the pavement.
		NASCAR had its two annual Nashville dates penciled into its 1985 schedule, but the collapse of Hodgedon forced Nashville off the schedule, the Fairgrounds never to return to Grand National but becoming a successful stop for BGN and Trucks until Dennis McGlynn purchased the track and built Nashville Superspeedway.

	NASCAR building blocks
		NASCAR enjoyed a continuation of its explosive popularity in 1999 and the king of NASCAR, Bill France, pulled some of the biggest moves in the history of motor sport last season.
		NASCAR in 1999 reminds me a lot of the NFL about the time the league began its large marketing push, which coincides with Joe Namath and the New York Jets winning Super Bowl III and the debut of ABC Monday Night Football.
		The final hour of the 1976 "Daytona 500" followed the Winter Olympics on ABC and millions of American homes were tuned in when Petty and Pearson put on their historic and spectacular "crash and bang" to the checkered flag.

		However, a NASCAR rule change a couple of years later allowed the first production motor — the Pontiac Iron Duke — into the series and brought what Combs and his peers believe to be the first significant rise in costs.
		With the growth of NASCAR from a regional sport to the mainstream sport it is today, the smaller Dash Series has become an innocent bystander in the sanctioning body's quest to grow the sport.
		NASCAR officials announced last year that they would not renew their contract with the series as the official sanctioning body, allowing the opportunity for a new sanctioning body to take the series over in 2004.

		Cale Yarborough embarked on history in 1976, beginning a three-year journey that would firmly implant his name in the NASCAR record books.
		In winning his first NASCAR Winston Cup Series championship in 1976, no one expected that it would be the first of three consecutive championships for the South Carolina native.
		Cale Yarborough was in a heated battle with six-time champion Richard Petty all season and it wasn't until Petty had some bad luck with one race to go that Yarborough was in control of his destiny.

	Autoracing2005: Records outlive careers
		The changing demographics of NASCAR, where drivers enter younger, and can leave earlier, richer and healthier also is rendering obsolete the notion that records are made to be broken.
		Darrell Waltrip, the modern era wins leader (84) feels his place in the NASCAR record book is tenuous, no matter how long Gordon stays in the sport.
		But NASCAR's growth from a disjointed, four-day-a-week traveling circus in the '50s and '60s to a super-organized, super-sanctioned 36-event league has secured 200 wins in a time capsule.

		NASCAR had allowed teams to block their radiators while qualifying in order to keep the motors at proper operating temperature.
		NASCAR felt that the adjustability of the flap would net an advantage over the other cars (DUH!!), so the team would start their 125-mile qualifying heat in last place.
		As the 1976 season drew to a close, the team continued it's streak of top ten finishes when the engine was cooperative.

	Paperwight's Fair Shot: NASCAR Rules
		So, what with the advent of the silly term "NASCAR Dad" and the recent kerfuffle over Robby Gordon's complaint about women drivers being lighter, so their car will go faster (Yes, I know that he was talking about Indy cars, but he drives NASCAR now), I got curious about the rules that govern NASCAR.
		Now, apparently, NASCAR doesn't release its rules publicly, but the folks who put together "A Yankee's Guide to NASCAR" have ferreted out a lot of them, and compiled the basics.
		Weight of drivers is of minimal importance because the NASCAR cars weight in the 3000 lb range, similar to that of a small family sedan.
