	FOX Sports on MSN - NASCAR - Busch is long on talent at short tracks
		Busch is long on talent at short tracks
		As flat as it is with long straightaways, you've got to think about Loudon as a short track.
		It was a decent race with a lot of cautions, no real controversies and we didn't have a green-white-checkered finish so I guess, all in all, it was a pretty good weekend.

	NASCAR.com - Fantasy Preview: Martinsville - Oct 21, 2004
		As the only short track in the final 10-race Chase for the Nextel Cup, it is a chance for old-time fans to watch their favorites beat and bang and have some fun.
		Martinsville is a momentum track and if a driver looses speed at the apex of a turn -- at the slowest part of the track -- he will pay the price in terms of slower top-end speed entering the next corner, nearly a half lap away.
		If his short track record is not enough to encourage you to add him, consider how strong he is on the flat tracks: Five of McMurray's last six races (83 percent) have ended in top-10s and all of them have been 12th or better.

	Short Track Race Car History - Stock Car Racing Magazine
		But it's the backbone of oval track racing in America, the local short track, that has spawned almost countless deviations of itself from the days of taking out the glass, painting on a number, and going racing.
		Short trackers all over the country evolved from building their own cars to buying complete cars, or frames, from winning racers-turned-builders-turned sellers.
		Originating from the pre-war coupes of the '50s that were seen at just about every track in the USA, the cars eventually became highly specialized and are now primarily found in their locale and in scattered locations in the Southeast.

		Short tracks remain the strongest bond between Winston Cup drivers and guys who compete every Saturday night at their local speedway.
		Compared to a car built for larger tracks, the “transition” bodywork may not be as rounded, the sides will be less flat and the front fenders will be as wide as the templates allow.
		On a short track, a driver is on and off the throttle constantly, either because of traffic or because of the track, running the engine up to 9,300 rpm and then getting off the accelerator and onto the brakes.

		The track has changed much over its first 49 years, but one constant remains, and that is the quality of racing and the feeling of family, friendship and togetherness one enjoys upon sharing a Friday night at Canada’s “Best Banked Half-Mile”.
		Nestled in the Laurel Mountains, the track was originally purchased in 1967 by a group of investors from an auction.
		It is one of the most versatile short tracks in existence capable of handling the entire spectrum of motorsports divisions from Super Late Model Stock Cars to Can-Am Midget sprint cars.

	Area short tracks face tough times (phillyBurbs.com) \| Ernie Saxton
		Faced with a choice of heading out to the local tracks to see great live racing action or staying home and watching auto racing on television, many are choosing the comfort of their easy chairs where snacks are free, there are no traffic hassles, no tickets to be purchased and no gasoline to be used.
		Track operator Paul Kuhl saw attendance fall when it was a dirt track and thought he could save the place by paving.
		It's surprising that attendance is down considering short tracks do provide inexpensive family entertainment and the racing action is often superior to what is being shown on television.

		For many, short-tracks and cookie-cutters are as different as plate tracks and road courses.
		A more sporting short-track positive is it’s easier to see the whole track or all of the simultaneous racing around the track.
		The cookie-cutters are liked for some of the same reasons they are disliked; high speeds, plenty of passing, not a lot of cautions, your driver is less likely to have bad luck or get caught up in a wreck.

		He was 19th last week at Watkins Glen, and in the most recent short track event (at Richmond in May), he finished 21st.

	Filmtracks: Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (John Williams)
		For true fans of the music from the saga --those who can identify which title performance belongs to which film based on their subtle variations-- this is a considerable disappointment.
		The end of the title sequence is cut short this time as well, launching immediately into frenetic action over the "Force Theme" that once again required Williams to remind the trumpet players to clearly distinguish each of their rapidly succeeding notes.
		The weakest underscore cue on the album, this track leads to a faint echo of "Across the Stars" and subtle references of lamentations heard previously in the score.
