NASCARFanatic.com: A NASCAR Fan’s Blog

Sioux Falls, South Dakota (PRWEB) March 20, 2010

NASCARFanatic.com, a blog about NASCAR – its history, most popular drivers, and current race results, has published new blog entries titled “Thrilling NASCAR Finishes,” “The History of NASCAR Racing,” and “History of NASCAR’s Cup Series.”

The entry “Thrilling NASCAR Finishes” from NASCARFanatic.com details several of the most exciting NASCAR finishes in the last decade. Many of these exciting finishes involved Dale Earnhardt, Sr., who was known for the crashes he was involved in before the crash that led to his untimely death. The danger of racing is a sentiment echoed throughout the article, including in a description of the 2009 crash of Carl Edwards into the fence at Talladega on the final lap.

“The History of NASCAR Racing” is another of the latest blog entries on NASCARFanatic.com. This entry examines how Bill France’s fateful car break down in Daytona Beach, Florida led to the creation of a new sport: automobile racing. By 1959, the blog explains, the Daytona International Speedway had been opened complete with a huge 2.5 mile banked track. The blog concludes that NASCAR fans have only grown in numbers since the sport’s inception.

“With the first sanctioned race in 1948 in (Bill) France’s adopted home of Daytona Beach, the (Cup) Series was off and running” according to the blog “History of NASCAR’s Cup Series” on NASCARFanatic.com. This blog entry mainly focuses on the changing sponsors for the NASCAR Cup Series and how sponsors have helped the sport to grow. The blogger concludes with the explanation that the current Cup Series sponsor is Sprint.

About NASCARFanatic.com:

NASCARFanatic.com was launched in July of 2009, and wrote blog entries about topics like NASCAR drivers Jimmy Johnson and Jeff Gordon. Site Owner Larry Lewton is especially interested in the history of NASCAR and how it has evolved into the sport it is today.

Media Alert: NASCAR Fans Get Swaggerized!

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 1, 2009

WHAT:    

Two-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Tony Stewart is working with Old Spice to give one lucky fan the one-of-a-kind Old Spice Swagger firesuit he wore in Sunday’s Sunoco Red Cross Pennsylvania 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Pocono (Pa.) Raceway.

The autographed Old Spice Swagger firesuit will be handed over to a charity auction to benefit the Tony Stewart Foundation, and will run for one week beginning at 9 a.m. EDT on Monday, August 3.

Stewart’s last race at Pocono in June has fond memories, for it was his 34th career Sprint Cup win but first as a driver/owner with Stewart-Haas Racing. Fans can place a bid for the autographed suit by visiting http://www.OldSpice.com or http://www.TonyStewart.com.

BACKGROUND:    

Playing off of one of Old Spice’s most successful scents (Swagger), Stewart and Old Spice will Swaggerize the upcoming race with Stewart driving the No. 14 Old Spice/Office Depot “Swagger” Chevrolet Impala SS with a new one-of-a-kind limited edition Swagger paint scheme. Fans will get to ride with Stewart via the ESPN in-car Swagger camera throughout the 500-mile race and see a special Swagger TV Spot with Stewart that will air during the race broadcast. For those attending the race in person, pick up a limited edition Old Spice Swagger “Your Driver Stinks, Mine Doesn’t” T-shirt at any of Stewart’s souvenir trailers.

Old Spice is a longtime NASCAR sponsor, celebrating 10 years of partnership with Stewart. As a NASCAR driver, Stewart relies on Old Spice anti-perspirants, deodorants and body washes to stay cool and smell great before and after a race, and can currently be seen in the latest Old Spice Swagger commercial. Old Spice is the No. 1 anti-perspirant/deodorant stick and body wash choice for guys in the United States.

The Tony Stewart Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization that raises funds primarily distributed to three specific groups – chronically ill children, drivers injured in motorsports activities and organizations dedicated to the protection of various animal species. To date, the Foundation has awarded almost $ 4 million to assist charitable initiatives for more than 130 organizations throughout the United States.
