Las Vegas Motor Speedway officials announced Monday the United Auto Workers will not return as title sponsor of the track’s Sprint Cup race in 2009.
“We’re very excited about seeking a partnership that will help us continue taking our NASCAR Sprint Cup event to new heights,” LVMS General Manager Chris Powell said in a statement. “For quite some time, potential sponsors have expressed interest in this entitlement if it were to become available.
“Because of the popularity of our city and our facility - including new grandstands and the state-of-the-art Neon Garage that affords race fans unmatched access - we believe an event entitlement here at LVMS is the most valuable in all of NASCAR racing.”

I doubt they’ll have trouble filling that spot, but it’s just another example of a continuing trend. How long before NASCAR wakes up and sees the reality in front of them?
Another one gone. Step it up Brian France!
maybe Brain will get some of his wine and cheese friends to step up with some sponsorship.
