I like how the empress of NASCAR Nation name is so fitting to this girl. A good ole southern bell with improper and confusing grammar!

Answer 2

please rephrase your question a bit.

Answer 3

I think it would. That's a big track and looked pretty exciting even when they raced it on the sands of the beach there in Daytona.

Answer 4

I would imagine more people came to the first Daytona race than ever before... before there was no Daytona race. :)

No, seriously, it would have still been a big deal.  Bill France Sr. was a magic man.  He would have made it a big deal.

Answer 5
