• World of Outlaws)Forty drivers strapped into
  their chariots. Hundreds of thousands of fans sat at the edge of
  their seats with the thunderous roar of eight-cylinder engines
  emphatically echoing around them. However, those chariots were Sim
  Rigs. Those seats were couches, armchairs, beds and possibly even
  the floor. And those engines were the simulated sounds of World of
  Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series Sprint Cars and Morton
  Buildings Late Models on iRacing, broadcasted through televisions
  for the first time in history on FOX Sports 1.

• MotorSport Video)Hey racefans!! I know times
  are tough and good racing is hard to come by. Here at MotorSport
  Video, I have decided to change things around a little bit. I am no
  longer going to ship out DVDs of races. I am in the process of
  digitizing all of my videos and will be offering them at reduced
  prices that I will send to you via the internet. I don’t have to
  handle them, put them in envelopes or take them to the post office.
  I will be announcing a new classic video every month. For the month
  of April, I am offering “1986 Thrills & Spills”. This video is
  narrated by Mr. Sprintcarstats and all around funny guy, Kevin
  Eckert. It is almost an hour long of spins, crashes, close finishes
  and flips from that year. It includes action from Florida to Texas
  to Indiana to Ohio, you get the idea. Around 40 different tracks.
  What would normally cost you $15 with S&H, will be offered for
  $7.50. All you have to do is PayPal me at
  
  “[email protected]” or send CC info to me at “[email protected]
  Once payment is received, I will email you the link to download the
  video. You will have 3 days to retrieve it, and I will know when you
  have it. You can put it on your main computer, laptop or put it in
  your cloud to be able to watch it on your phone or tablet. Remember
  to send your email and info to me at
  “[email protected]”.
