All-Star Racing and Questions for The Track Girl

This week we head back to all race fans’ home town, Charlotte for our All Star Race.So I thought we would take a little breather.

This week, my column is just a check in with readers of Ranting and Raving to see what it is about NASCAR’s history that you would like to know about! Any suggestions that come through, I will be happy to see what I dig up! A driver, a track, a race infamous or famous.. I am itching to do some research, so give some homework!

I am also keeping this week’s column short because I am preparing for next week, when I will be attending the North American Society for Sports History’s annual conference in Orlando, Florida. I will speaking at a section of the conference which looks at “Wheels.” I am very excited to go speak in front of a whole bunch of “stick and ball” folks and other sports historians and let them know how important stock car racing is to American history.

So speak up! Let me know what you might like to learn a little more about! I’ll see you soon!
