I just saw on NASCAR Online that MCI and NASCAR are teaming up.  So will
MCI be involved with the NASCAR racing league?  Here are some interesting
quotes from the article that sent me in that direction:

"Together, the companies will form a technology and marketing alliance
that will bring fans closer to the sport of NASCAR racing."

"The alliance will integrate MCI into the NASCAR family at many levels,
making MCI the 'Official Telecommnunications(sic) Company of NASCAR.  MCI
can participate in all of NASCAR's 12 divisions, on the internet, ...."

"MCI will bring fans unprecedented access to the world of NASCAR racing,
putting them in the driver seat"

"An officially-licensed Internet Service Provider of NASCAR"

"The MCI/NASCAR relationship will pay dividends to NASCAR fans now and in
the future through an array of technology-based opportunities."

So, is MCI going to be the access provider for the NRL?  Maybe supply
reduced rate 800 numbers for those of us who won't have a local
provider?  Or are they completely independent?

Sounds strange, since NRL is actual NASCAR's "13th division". In fact, I
kind of read this to be the typical "The Official [fill in the blank] of
NASCAR" type of arrangement, like "Opryland, the Official Destination of
NASCAR". Just exactly what NASCAR needs with an "Official Destination",
I'll never know, particularly since the cars just go around in circles. <g>

Randy,
Where did you read this info?  If you'll let me know where I can find
the article I might be able to find an answer for you. (I work for one
of these companies ;)

I just saw a TV ad that proclaimed "Circuit City the appliance sponsor of
Nascar"

I think everyone just wants to be associated with Nascar because of its
popularity.
