Charlotte "News" and Notes



--A reminder:  This weekend's race is on Saturday Night.  This is the only Chase race (for now) that avoids going head-on against the NFL (the #1, 2, and 3 sport in America).  Instead, they'll go up against college football (the #4, 5, and 6 sport in America).

--Speaking of college football, Bristol Motor Speedway will be hosting a Virginia Tech-Tennessee game in 2016.  Currently its a non-conference matchup, although with the way college football is going, they could both be members of the National Athletic Conference Presented by Nike.

--Darlington, meanwhile, will reach back into its past.  No, not by bringing back their Labor Day race.  Instead, they'll bring back their freezing-cold early-spring date.  Only now, it'll be at NIGHT!

--Germain Racing will enter a technical alliance with RCR in 2014.  Casey Mears' career has finally come full-circle.  Well, not totally full-circle until Williams Travel Centers comes back.

-Ryan Reed has signed to drive full-time in the Nationwide Series for Roush Fenway Racing in 2014.  Diabetics--they're the new Brazilians!
