Cars have done more to eliminate poverty in American than any government program. The jobs created to fulfill the widespread desire for individual freedom of mobility are one of the supporting pillars of the American economic miracle. There is a lot of blog talk about Danica Patrick racing in the Indianapolis 500. It’s a great story and Danica deserves all the attention she has earned. When the Indy cars finish there is another major race and five years ago Wisconsin native Matt Kenseth Wins the Coca Cola 600.
“It was Mark who risked his reputation several years ago by advising Jack Roush to sign Matt Kenseth, an unknown from Wisconson. … It was Kenseth - only a rookie in the Winston Cup series - who finished first in Sunday's 600, which is considered to be one of NASCAR's three "majors", along with the Brickyard 400 and the Daytona 500.”I suppose North Carolina writers spell the Badger State “Wisconson” as in “Wis you coming son”? I suppose it’s no different from professional east coast sports announcers saying “Westconsin”. Wisconsin Racing occurs in small tracks all over the State and I believe it was Richard Petty who once said, “I know exactly when auto racing began. It was the day they built the second car.”
