Track seeks Super Bowl atmosphere Vol 8(22) pg 8 by Sarah Galiotto

The Super Bowl… everyone knows the Super Bowl for it’s entertainment (we can’t forget the year with Janet Jackson!), commercials, and football of course. NASCAR’s Super Bowl is of course the Daytona 500, however, Curtis Grey, president of Homestead-Miami Speedway, is gearing the end of the series towards a Super Bowl-esque extravaganza. The Busch and Craftsman Truck series, Nextel Cup, and the Ford Championship Week all occur at HMS. This Super Bowl like atmosphere will be occurring around the Ford Championship Week. Activities such as charity events, a fishing tournament, street festivals, and celebrity and professional athlete appearances are what to be expected at this gala, and of course many musical performance like in the super bowl half-time show.
This is an excellent idea to gather race car fans alike for entertainment and the pure enjoyment of NASCAR racing. It should not take away the thunder of the Daytona 500, but allow another race of NASCAR gain more popularity. This can only bring more fans to the sport and bring the racing community more together. It exposes a way to have fun with racing and gain entertainment and satisfaction.
