You beat me to the Nascar post.
I was wondering what they will do if the big 3 go away, which they are going to do to some degree.
When the sport looses most of its advertising revenues they will be forced to going back to the basics of providing a cost effective race formula where a premium is put on driver talent and not on their ability to promote sponsors.
It will be a good thing.
the biscuit wheels just fell off of NASCAR's gravy train, for sure

FORT WORTH (AP) — Texas Motor Speedway will remove about 21,000 seats from its backstretch and replace them with 74 lots for recreational vehicles.
The $2 million project announced Monday will transform the upper half of the backstretch into a series of 30-foot by 60-foot gated courtyards for recreational vehicles during NASCAR and IndyCar Series events.
The project is scheduled to be completed in time for the first of three 2009 racing weekends, April 2-5.
Each site will sell for $15,000 annually, good for all races within the calendar year. That price will include tickets and pit/infield passes for each race. Each site will have full service hookups for water, electric and live race feeds, plus concierge services that will include grocery shopping.
"Our demand for motor home space, even this year during a downturn economy, has continued to rise each and every year," track president Eddie Gossage said. "Our fans have indicated to us that there was a need for this type of project."
The Shop
At TMS they have a special camping area on the asphalt that is reserved, and sold by the season. The section is full at every NASCAR Cup weekend with 6 figure motorhomes.
I'm sure all those folks have 3-4 cars, and unless they're classics, I bet there are not many miles on them.
