Next stop on the Nextel Cup Schedule is Las Vegas Motor Speedway Next week NASCAR heads to sin city to try their luck at the newly revamped Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Since the last race at Vegas, Bruton Smith, owner of Speedway Motorsports Inc and Las Vegas Motor Speedway, took a gamble on overhauling the turns at the 1 1/2 mile track. The track prior to this season had 12 degree banking, low for a speedway. The revamped track will boost turns of 20 degrees rivaling other speedway tracks like Atlanta and Lowe's Motor Speedway. What Mr. Smith is banking on with his renovations is that Las Vegas Motor Speedway will be the premiere venue for all of NASCAR. As it stands now, Vegas is the[..]

"The Man in Black" is back - sort of. The late Dale Earnhardt's legacy lies on the racetrack and has refused to die alongside the No. 3 car he crashed in the 2001 Daytona 500. Earnhardt, one of the best and most respected drivers in the history of NASCAR, made No. 3 a sacred number in the world of stock car racing, but even though the number has all but been retired, his son Dale Jr. will soon take it for a lap around the Daytona International Raceway – the last track Dale Earnhardt ever drove - to pay tribute to his father. Announced in late April, Dale Earnhardt Jr. will swap his typical No. 88 for his father's number as he takes the No. 3 Nationwide Series car for a spin at the[..]

Now that Christmas is past, the New Year has begun and college football is over, it can only mean one thing- the Daytona 500 and a new season of NASCAR racing is right around the corner. I love the smell of the exhaust, the thunder of the engines, the bits of rubber flying off the track, the corporate sponsorships. Uh, come again? That's right, corporate sponsorships. As much as I love racing, the blatant and downright shameless plugging of sponsors is so prevalent that it has become its own form of entertainment. I mean, they make fun of themselves, for crying out loud, so you know it has to be bad. I know that the corporate buck makes the world go around and there is no dodging[..]

History Kart racing in the streets of Berlin in 1963 Art Ingels is generally accepted to be the father of karting. A veteran hot rodder and a race car builder at Kurtis Kraft, he built the first kart in Southern California in 1956. Karting has rapidly spread to other countries, and currently has a large following in Europe. The first kart manufacturer was an American company, Go Kart Manufacturing Co. (1958). McCulloch was the first company, in 1959, to produce engines for karts. Its first engine, the McCulloch MC-10, was an adapted chainsaw 2-stroke engine. Later, in the 1960s, motorcycle engines were also adapted for kart use, before dedicated manufacturers, especially in Italy (IAME),[..]

NASCAR is one of the most well enjoyed of the American pastimes, and for good reason. While many people have heard of the NASCAR Daytona 500 race, there are other races to attend as well-many of them just as popular as the Daytona 500 itself. One of these races is the Coca Cola 600, a 600 mile race held at the Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, NC the weekend of Memorial Day. This is a stock car race, one of the things that attracts die hard fans of NASCAR stock car racing from all around the world. As a matter of fact, this race falls into the top five of all of the NASCAR races put together, something that is rather high honors in the racing world. The hotels in the area fill up in one[..]
