CASCAR and NASCAR deal near complete: Only the paperwork remains for
the Canadian CASCAR stock car racing circuit to be sold in its entirety
to U.S.-based giant NASCAR. Negotiations have been ongoing for a year
and a half and sources told The Free Press yesterday it's now in the
hands of the lawyers. "It's not 'if,' it's 'when,' " one source said.
Another said the takeover may lead to Canadians eventually driving in
the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series, the top echelon in stock car racing.
"There are drivers and teams capable of racing with the best and to get
noticed by NASCAR is a great thing in itself," CASCAR president and
founder Tony Novotny said during the Super Series APC 300 at Delaware
Speedway. Richard Buck, NASCAR's director of racing development in
Canada, has attended Super Series races this season and confirmed
yesterday he recommended to his board of directors on Aug. 22 in
Daytona Beach, Fla., that it purchase the Canadian group. "My reports
have been very favourable and they have been received very favourably.
Basically the process is moving along," Buck said. (Loudon Free Press)

DEI and RCR merger? A merger between RCR and Dale Earnhardt Inc. is
rumored to be in the works. Although DEI vice president Richie Gilmore
says the partnership will involve nothing more than promotional plans,
the two organizations enjoyed a beneficial aerodynamic alliance several
years ago. Considering the strength of powerhouses Roush and Hendrick
Motorsports, a marriage between RCR and DEI would move their programs
up a level. Another benefit? Dale Earnhardt Jr. could follow in his
late father's footsteps in an RCR car. (Sporting News/Lee Spencer)
