Nascar—and Spade Racing—Gets Ready for The 7 in 11 Gauntlet


Enough virtual racing!  Enough drivers ruining their careers with horrific word choices!  Enough Clint Bowyer bullying!  Nascar’s gonna go back to racing in less than two weeks!

And when I say “racing”, I’m not kidding—seven national touring series races in eleven days (see below)
It’ll be a gauntlet of competition for Nascar’s competitors, safety crews, officials, and fans.  And since my “real job” is deemed essential, it means extra work (of the fun kind) here at Spade Racing.
So here’s the plan:

—I’ll be keeping up the usual “three articles a week” schedule here.

—There’ll be a 7 in 11 Gauntlet Omnibus preview before the return on May 17th from Uncle Max, who’s STILL working full-time but said he’ll be happy to focus on something other than PPE.

—There’ll be “Lap Zero” pre-race articles before both Sunday races but not for the mid-week races.

So let’s strap in and get ready for the wildest two weeks in Nascar history!
