NASCAR in Savannah (for the nth time)

The recent decision by the US government regarding advertising exemptions for tobacco products during international racing events might actually pave the way for bringing NASCAR to Savannah.

If we were to get moving on the renovations right away (though, let's be honest, 😢 ), we could potentially host a race within three to four years. Of course, there's the catch: everything would have to change by 2007 once we align our regulations with the UN.

However, Igor Eskinja, the director over at the Savannah track, points out that it isn't just about the circuit itself. We also need to consider the highway connections leading toward New York City and all the necessary amenities. So, once again, it feels like we're mostly just clinging to hope. 😢

NASCAR isn't ever going to show up here in Savannah... 👎

Honestly, I doubt this will ever actually happen... people have been talking about it for years, but since day one, we haven't moved past the initial hype and all that empty excitement from the media...

Even if they got Savannah ready for racing, the customs officials would probably find something to complain about anyway. There's always going to be some other candidate willing to host NASCAR who'll jump ahead of Savannah on Bernie's priority list.

That said, it would be incredible if NASCAR eventually landed in Savannah. For those of us just a 12 miles away from home, being able to watch Shumi absolutely dominate his rivals in person would be legendary... 😁 😈

If they actually show up, my buddy owns some land out in Savannah, so he’d be absolutely rolling in it!!!😁
