A brief history lesson:  
   
The 1990s began the decade in which NASCAR reached lots new fans.  Attendance at Winston Cup events rose to more than 6 million in 1998, up from 3.3 million in 1990 and 1.5 million  in 1982.NASCAR licensed products topped $950 million in 1998, from $80 million in 1990. By 1999, there were 13 NASCAR Thunder stores in eleven states, selling NASCAR apparel and other licensed products. Daytona USA, "The Official Attraction of NASCAR," opened in 1997 just outside of the fourth turn of Daytona International Speedway.DaytonaUSA features NASCAR history, interactive displays and live shows encompassing all aspects of the world of NASCAR.  
   
Mike Helton, director of competition for NASCAR since 1994 and a former official at the Daytona and Talladega tracks, took over  day-to-day operations of NASCAR as senior vice president and chief operating officer. France continues as president of NASCAR.    
   
France's son, Brian, is senior vice president of marketing and  communications. From those humble beginnings more than 50 years ago, France turned his vision of what NASCAR could become into the brand of racing we know today .   
  
1990's NASCAR's main series was the Winston Cup- with 34 points races across the country - starting at Daytona Beach Florida and ending in Atlanta. Winston Cup's "minor" league is the Busch Grand National Series where most of today's top Winston Cup drivers developed their skills.

Comments of Mr Oblivious;  
"I do not want my models used or converted over to Rfactor. You guys are welcome to have a blast and use them to your hearts content for N2k3 and I dont even want the most tiny bit of credit. You guys did alot of work getting them in and doing lods and such. But I repeat, Do not give permission for others to put or convert over to Rfactor. Thats all I pretty much ever asked and that remains the same today."  

 
Enjoy,
Rioux
