"America's Happiest Mayor: Give Las Vegas A Second Race!"
The ever ebullient mayor of Las Vegas, Oscar Goodman, rallied the crowd here at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with those words in pre-race ceremonies. What is really important in pre race happens in the sight of the Neon Garage here at "Glitter Gulch", and out of sight in most other venues. This is what happens after cars go through NASCAR Inspection, a/k/a "Room of Doom". Jamie McMurray's #26 Ford Fusion showed some sportiness this weekend in practice.
Remember our premise in Friday's post about a walkup crowd? Las Vegas boss Chris Powell says his facility will have a sell out today. That means all of the good seats will be taken, and only general admission tickets will be available for those who brave the stretch of Interstate 15 north of Sahara to the exits for LVMS.
We may update with a mid race posting, but definitely with a post race snapshot and synopsis.
RIP--Paul Harvey
