    Updated Nov 25, 2020

    Editor, I respectfully request that Congress pass the Recognizing Motorsports Act, H.R. 5434/S. 2602, in 2020.

Many types of racing, including NASCAR, were founded on the premise that street vehicles, including motorcycles, can be converted into dedicated racing vehicles. Racing events are an economic driver f...

I think it might be my favorite holiday. I like that expectations are reasonably low and yet the hol...
