Hey NASCAR guys..

My company is sponsoring a car in the Winston West series. I have no idea what that is, or how big a deal it may be. but it's a cool looking car. (Looking for a pic to post).

That's good news, MT. Although too bad it wasn't a car from CART, which is >< close to folding.

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if CART comes back in 2004 with a new set of owners and cancels its overseas races.

If I'm not mistaken, Winston West is a feeder circuit, just below the Craftsman Trucks.  I can't remember the class of car, but it might be the Pontiac Sunbird body shape.  Pretty cool if you enjoy racing.
