Since the 2007 Nextel Cup season is already in top gear, the Racers Race drives into it's second year just as fast. Sin-City marks the perfect place for Lust for Life to make another attempt at a video blog. With a nod to one of my favorite show men of all time, the Racers Race goes Around the Track.
Racers Race: Viva Las Vegas
What better place to go all in. It seems like half the field already has their backs up against the wall. Junior needs to finish a race, Kahne needs to start his season, and Smoke needs anything he can get. After Las Vegas Motorspeedway was completely revamped, it's a ####-shoot. Although it is the Busch Brothers home track, no one claims stake at a brand new surface. A track even Tony Stewart admited was designed way too fast. 200 mph through Sin City. The Nextel Cup rolls into Viva Las Vegas this weekend.
NASCAR drives home this weekend to North Carolina. For some, it feels good to sleep in their own bed. For others, there is only six more races in the the Chase, and no time for sleeping. The good news is that most of the garages are not very far down the road from Lowes Motor Speedway. The bad news is that means overtime for everyone in the shop. When home field advantage is spread equally around the garage, every second counts.
The fact that 10 drivers are still racing for a Championship, makes Lowes a sight for sour eyes. NASCAR races in it's own backyard this weekend, let's make a Saturday night out of it, and throw it under the lights. Best get ready to watch the sparks fly!
Racers Race: Lowes Sweet Lowes
Saturday, 10/14 7:00ET NBC
No doubt, Lowes is one of the biggest sponsors in NASCAR. And no doubt, Jimmie Johnson will be the favorite everytime he races here. On sponsor pride alone, the bosses open their checkbooks. But pride runs deep everywhere in the Nextel Cup, and every garage has been seen with their lights on all night long this week. Regardless of what sponsor is on the hood, a win in North Carolina gets everyone a big raise.
From the looks of the Busch series tonight, sparks are not the only thing we have to look forward to. This Saturday night, it may come down to the last person standing. Leave it all on the track. The pride, the spirit, the heart, and the glory. Welcome home, NASCAR.
This is my second attempt to make a video blog. Not my best work, but I was on a time line. I hope you enjoy. And I hope that everyone let's the sparks fly at Lowes!
You can't stop, or I will pass you. If you slow down, I will outlast you. But when your down, you won't find me laughing. Just one question, I might ask ya. And it might sound like a disaster. But can you make this thing go faster?
