Here is a ridiculous article I wrote for a racing parody website.
The real track promoter I refer to is Rusty Marcus.
Orlando Speedworld Announces New Race Division

A hearty "Yee-Haw" echoed through the Bithlo area after a surprise announcement by Speedworld promoter Dusty Carcus.  "FASCAR always tries to serve our racing community, so when we found out that a large segment of local racers were virtually shut-out from competing at our track, we put our heads together and came up with a solution."

Dusty then announced a new racing division designed exclusively for those racers who can't make it to the Friday night program.  "Probation Stocks" will be the new class, and it is for the high number of drivers who are on work release, and who must return to jail on Friday afternoons.  This new class will compete on Wednesday nights and will run a full program of heats and feature races.
Local pawn shops reported a flurry of activity as several mechanics struggled to get their tools out of hock.  

It was also announced that the new "Pro-Stocks" already have a point fund to be awarded to the series champion.  The fund sponsor, East Orlando Tattoo and Bail Bonds, will donate 2 months of child support payments to the winning driver.

Racing begins as soon as extra security can be arranged.

There was much discussion in 2006 about FASCAR’s decision to split the Gulfcoast Modified tour into two, parallel series.  One uses the more expensive “big” engines to run on larger tracks, and the other uses less expensive “little” engines for the smaller tracks.
As usual, any change causes discontent to boil over, and in this case, there was even disagreement about what to name the new series.  Super Modifieds, Outlaw Modifieds, Super Outlaws etc. have all been proposed.  As a public service, I propose the following list:

 Top 10 Names for FASCAR’s New Modified Division

      9Single-file Mods

Michael Waltrip was disqualified for having an "illegal substance" in the intake manifold of his racecar.  So what was the substance that NASCAR found in Michael Waltrip’s intake?  Since it has not been identified, here are my top 10 suggestions of what he used to give the Toyota engine a little more muscle.

Spinach
FEMA cheese
“Obsession” by Calvin Klein 
The same stuff New Smyrna uses to cook French fries
Brittany’s missing panties
Flubber
Jimmy Hoffa’s liver
The little blue pill
Rice (thanks to Mr. KIA)
Love letters from Jeff Gordon


This picture is a real Foxworthy moment

One night at New Smyrna, there was a wedding proposal in victory circle after one of the races.  This young man asked his girl for her hand, and she accepted.  That is great.

When was the last time you saw a proposal by a shirtless guy with droopy pants, boxers and tattoos?  To  paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy; "If you propose marriage in victory circle, you might be a redneck".

FASCAR changed tire manufacturers this week from Goodyear to Hoosier. In the short term, this will cause some expense and frustration to the racers, so in response to the public out-cry, here is a sampling of racer opinion.

Top 10 Things Overheard in the FASCAR Pits

“Hey, this never happens on ‘Pinks!’” 

“No problem. When I raced karts my dad carried 100 mounted tires in our stacker!”

“Hello? SCCA?”

“You guys need to buy a bunch of my tires. I’ve got a sick speedway to support”.

“But the promoters at the seminar said to never do this…”

“I hear Hoosier is moving their tire manufacturing to Mexico.”

“Its ok, they will buy back the unused tires…..Oops! You’re too late!”

“They are the softest compound Hoosier makes? That means they last longer, right?”

“Oh boy, these leak through the sidewall too!”

“Wait until you hear the announcement about pit slabs!”
