Is Danica good for the sport? NO! The sport is good for Danica and Danica’s bottom line, end of story.
I’m not bashing Kyle Busch here, just the idiotic statements and thinking of his lawyer.

“We’re moving forward like normal,” Camp said, when I asked him to address many fans’ fears of the speedway closing down. “We’re planning for events in 2012 and trying to do anything we can to get butts in the seats and get more fans to come and see races here at Nashville Superspeedway. We are not alone in this softness in attendance, it has affected all NASCAR tracks, so we are just working hard to get people out here and are optimistic that 2012 will be an improvement on 2011 and we’ll get this ship turned around and headed in the right direction.”
Liar! OK, maybe that is a little harsh. I ‘spose they are planning for _some kind_ of events at Nashville, but Camp damn sure knew it wasn’t going to be NASCAR, as yesterday’s announcement of (essentially) Nashville’s closing clearly demonstrates.

I have come to the conclusion that the only people who come close to the talents of political spin correspondents are the ones who cover NASCAR.
“As a team owner in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, I know pleasing fans is a top priority because, without the fans, there’d be no NASCAR.” – Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Maybe some of the money raised on NASCAR Day can go to the Hall of Fame. They seem to need it!
