Are you a NASCAR fan? If so, and you want to let everyone know, then there is no better way than showing your allegiance than by using NASCAR personal checks. In the end, your finances might cause you anxiety, but there’s no reason that they have to be uninteresting.
Formally known as the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, NASCAR is one of the most watched sports in the country. NASCAR has loyal fans that will actually travel hundreds of miles, and sometimes even thousands, just to see their favorite drivers win a race. The only other sport in the United States to get more viewers than NASCAR is professional football. At extremely popular races, just about 100,000 fans can show up in turnout.
Many NASCAR drivers are as famous as other sports heroes. Dale Earnhardt, for example, is now an honored sports idol, more than ever since he met his unfortunate demise on the racetrack. Richard Petty and Kyle Petty, Carl Edwards, and Jeff Gordon are household names as well.
NASCAR is traced to stock car racing which got its start during Prohibition when drivers would bootleg alcohol. The drivers would reform their cars to make them drive more quickly so that they could better escape the police when they were being trailed. Read more...
While there are a number of challenging tracks on the NASCAR stock car racing circuit, few have earned the fearsome reputation of South Carolina’s Darlington Raceway. Known as ‘the track too tough to tame’, its shaped like an egg with a surface that shreds tires. Some of the best drivers–including NASCAR’s ‘King’ Richard Petty never mastered it. David Person, on the other hand, dominated at Darlington. He won 10 races and won 12 poles–both records that will likely never be broken. He actually made the ‘track too tough to tame’ look downright easy.
David Pearson was born on December 22, 1934 in Whitney, SC–a textile town near Spartanburg. Like most of the locals, his parents worked in the local cotton mill and did their best to provide. David quit school after the 10th grade and went to work in the mill. It wasnt long, however, before his love of cars and racing made him leave the mill life behind. He bought a car and began racing at short tracks in the upstate. He ran his first race on 9/19/52 in Woodruff South Carolina. Within a few years, he won his first championship at the Greenville/Pickens Speedway in’59. Read more...

No doubt about it – the marvelous Mini set the stage for the worldwide acceptance of small front wheel drive , transversely laid out engines front wheel drive automotive car engine designs that we take for granted on our roads and highways today.
In the beginning it seems that the venerable Austin Mini did not even have its later badge of fame – its moniker of “Mini”. The vehicle was initially introduced as the Austin Se7en and the Morris ( not the Austin factory branded ) Mini-Minor. The only distinction between the Austin factory output model and the Morris branded product being not any major body or mechanical components only the badge and grill of the vehicles. Talk about a forerunner and pre-telling of the auto industry trends to come. In later years when GM Auto engineers being asked the difference between a 1982 compact Cadillac Cimarron in 1982 and its General Motors cousins – the Chevrolet Cavalier, Buick Skyhawk, Oldsmobile Firenza, Pontiac J200 models would be told that in essence the only difference was in the price tag of the new vehicle at their local dealership.
