NASCAR fans in NYC should perk up, if the latest discussions about creating a Meadowlands race track come to fruition. While there have been on and off talks about a track in or around NYC since 1998 nothing has taken hold. The last big push was the Championship Auto Racing Teams Meadowlands Grand Prix that lasted from 1984 to 1991.

So in this new look at NJ the question is will it work? Will fans come often enough, and in numbers enough to make a profit or at least a break even? If you have ever been out by the Meadowlands you know that traffic there can be a mess. That is no benefit to a track. Add to that the fickle nature of New York City and who knows.

Do you think it will be like the country music stations in the metro New York area that came on strong and died quick deaths? Or will it be a strong addition to a city with large tastes?

Something that might have been interesting to see was Mr. Terry Labonte in a rental car, taking a couple of laps at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. This was the warm up for him, which he followed with 21 laps in a Richard Childress Racing Chevy.

The big question is will the one minute, 49.86 seconds at an average speed of 105.652 mph he clocked be enough to get him a win in the upcoming NAPA Auto Parts 200. Road racing is not like the ovals so it will be interesting to see how he does.

Who do you think will win?

Dark days seem to be looming in the near future for Ralf Schumacher. He is the less famous brother of Michael Schumacher - the 7x Formula One champion.

Mr. Ralf Schumacher seems to be in a delicate position as the Toyota team is making waves, and have been looking for a younger driver if they don’t see better results. Talks of German and Japanese drivers are already in the air.

Only time and performance till tell on this one.
