One is keenly aware of how loyalty is born. You create a sense of worth and never insult their intelligence. NASCAR is a master at this notion.
Ali struggled in his Oct. 20 NASCAR debut at Kansas, where he crashed and finished 33rd in the Nationwide race. He is the first driver of Pakistani descent to compete at NASCAR's national level.
Sometimes you just have to do the unclouded and logical thing. And when it comes to business and commerce, those two elements are often shunned aside.
I'd always heard that NASCAR was like no other, but I had never attended such. So on the first race day at Texas Motor Speedway on April 6, 1997 I decided to give it a shot.
He says he was "really mentally a mess'' until he went to see a concussion specialist in Pittsburgh and spent about 12 hours talking and doing testing.

The biggest story at JR Motorsports wasn't Danica Patrick this weekend. Well, not directly. Shortly before the green flag at Richmond International Raceway for the Nationwide series race, news broke that longtime competition director – and sometimes crew chief – Tony Eury Sr. had left the company.

Villeneuve didn't take responsibility but his actions resulted in an apology from Penske Racing and many fans and members of the community wondered if he should be allowed to continue to race.
Some of NASCAR's biggest names are trying to keep their championship hopes alive and the Chase for the Sprint Cup is still about a month away.
In a rare occasion, Danica Patrick wasn't in the spotlight during pre-race media availability. Thanks to a rare road course weekend, JR Motorsports brought in road course "ringer" Ron Fellows, even making a contest on Twitter out of his appearance, calling it #Fellows5.
Among the four manufacturers in the top racing series, Dodge now stands tied with Ford in last place. Chevrolet is in first, followed by Toyota.
