Racin'
I'm not much for the NASCAR myself, but North Carolina's General Assembly has some racin' fans. Want proof?
Click here for audio of today's joint session honoring NASCAR and it's founders. (It's an 11MB file.)
What's this all about? As NASCAR gains nationwide popularity, the stock car association is putting more events in other states and taking them from North Carolina. The General Assembly is doing it's best to establish North Carolina as the home of racin', hence the session. (Oh, and there's the small matter of some folks wanting to locate the NASCAR hall of fame in Charlotte...that's part of this too.)
