I love this picture. I’ve asked how to buy it, after seeing it on AutoExtremist. Peter M says he has no idea if there’s a print.
So, I deep copied it just to save it.

On NASCAR
NASCAR’s brand of homogenized, low-tech racing is back for another season. Fields of 35-45 “athletes” will pilot tube-framed ‘Murican V-8s in 40 races from today through late November. Aside from a handful of visits to road-courses, all these races will be on ovals, ranging from the bullring half-mile of Bristol to the world’s fastest track, the 2.66 mile tri-oval at Talledega.
Nascar is at once Good-Ole-Boy, downhome charm and a corporate juggernaut that’s the secondmost lucrative sport behind football. Once confined to circuits in the Southeast, the series ranges from coast to cost, north to south. Whereas the man on the street 30 years ago might equate “car racing” with “Indy 500”, he now thinks “NASCAR”.
Okay, folks, here’s where I’ll be on June 20th:
I’ll be in the Northwest Vista watching 30 screaming Formula 1 racers duel at the world’s greatest racetrack.
