 Beer
- The "Unofficial Fuel" Of NASCAR
Since
1959, several petroleum companies have served as the 'Official Fuel
of NASCAR.' If there ever were an 'Unofficial Fuel' of the sport,
it would be beer. Beer has played an integral part of auto racing
since the first competitions at the turn of the 20th
century. While there were no beer sponsorships back there, plenty
of the product was consumed by the daredevil hell-raising types that
populated the sport. |

Racing History
Update for January 20, 2012
With action on the horizon for race fans at Daytona Beach with NASCAR
getting read for the Daytona 500, we thought it would be a good
time to remember a Georgia family that wrote a lot of history in
Daytona's sands over at Georgia

January 2, 2012: DAYTONA BEACH, FL -- In preparing for the January
28-29, 2012 Rolex 24 at Daytona, one needs to be, if not
a numbers fan, at least comfortable with dealing with lots of them.
Deciphering how to properly assemble an effort by breaking down the
number of people and all the elements those people need to be doing
is like a complex math equation. Putting the budget together from
