Pre-Christmas News Megapost

This could possibly be the last post I make before Christmas, so let's make it a megapost. There's a lot to cover in this, so let's get right to it.

+ The big headline from last week: The banquet for the Whelen All-American Series, taking place last Friday night at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte. Keith Rocco was the star of the show, as he was honored for his record achievement; collecting a maximum 810 points to clinch the national championship.

+ This logo, over to the right here? Well, it's going to be used in the 2011 season as NASCAR celebrates 30 seasons of the Whelen All-American Series. Sorry for taking it off the website. Thought a visual would be helpful. I'll also paste the link here as well. Did you know that nine tracks have been partnered with NASCAR for all 30 years? According to the press release, Stafford is one of those tracks.

+ Award money has also been revealed from this past season as well. $30,575 was earned from contingency sponsors (finishing in the top-3 in features; etc) and Reliable Welding and Speed for the Rookies of the Year. Another $35,500 was paid out for post-season awards.

+ And closing this out on a jolly note, Santa is coming to town. Santa is Glenn Johnson, owner of Morrison and Johnson Automotive. I love the pictures of the sleigh.

With that, I'm going to wish all of you a Merry Christmas. Stay safe. Stay dry. And if there's news before the new year, I'll be posting it.
