NASCAR in the Big Apple?

More than 140 years after the Civil War ended, it looks as if the south has finally conquered a significant chunk of northern territory. NASCAR, that icon of modern Dixie, is putting a new track within tobacco-spitting distance of New York City. As this article from That's Racin' points out, officials are deciding on a precise location in New Jersey, with the Meadowlands sports complex a strong possibility. Can you imagine the thrill of watching Ricky Rudd and Bobby Labonte whizz around the track in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty, then heading out to Hogs n Heifers for an evening of chow and chatter with the glitterati? Yeee-hawww! Book my plane tickets, momma, we're on our way!
