NASCAR racing season has already begun, but the "real" start is this Sunday with the running of the Daytona 500. Living as I do very close to a major NASCAR track (Martinsville Speedway) I am pretty much surrounded by racing people and racing history. This year there may not be as many fans at the tracks across the country as there have been in recent years, due to the economy, but there will still be the same numbers watching on TV or listening on the radio…especially in Virginia and North Carolina. This photo is of the main tower at Martinsville Speedway. Like at Daytona this weekend, Martinsville will soon be host to tens of thousands of fans, me being one.
