The long and short of it

I LOVE REALLY LONG NAMES for stock-car races, and I just found a lulu. It's the TECH-NET Auto Service 300 Powered by CARQUEST NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

By the way, notice that Lowe's Motor Speedway has reverted to Charlotte Motor Speedway. I guess the 10-year, $34-million title deal with Lowe's Home Improvement has ended.
