4:45 this morning I was headed to work and passed the Cup haulers for the #42 and # 1 cars going west on I-4 through Orlando. These weren’t show car haulers, they were the real deal. Anyone down south know where they were headed?
Disney World Speedway!
Yep, probably Disney… Several Nationwide/Truck teams were there a couple weeks ago and we all know WDW can use the money for track rental LOL…
Thanks, that one didn’t even occur to me…
cup cars
RCR out at Disney and Brad K in #22
FYI Disney doesn’t get the track rental $$. Its up to Petty Exp whether they rent it or not.

NASCAR’s 2011 season will be impossible to match, but it also will bring in a whole new group of FANS.
Some say Danica Patrick is going the WIN Most Popular Driver" for 2012 (remember she bring a lot of her FANS with her to NASCAR).

How times change… The winner of the Daytona 500 this year gets a million-and-a-half dollars (of course that’s the total awarded to the team, but it’s still a lot of $$$)…
Ned Jarrett - two-time Cup champion, winner of 50 races, made just under $350,000 for his entire CAREER! No wonder he got into promotion and broadcasting LOL…
