WARNER BROTHERS, IMAX TO PRODUCE NASCAR DOCUMENTARY

Warner Bros. is teaming up with Imax for the first time to make a 45-minute documentary about NASCAR racing.

"NASCAR: The Imax Experience 3D" started production recently to coincide with the racing league's Daytona 500. This year marks the race's 45th anniversary.

Warner will distribute the film exclusively to Imax theaters in spring 2004. The documentary will transport fans directly into the driver's seat and provide a history of the sport told from the viewpoint of some of its most prominent drivers.

Created under the auspices of NASCAR's Digital Entertainment arm and Imax, the film will be directed by Simon Wincer ("Lonesome Dove").

Large-format cinematographer James Neihouse ("Space Station 3D") will shoot the picture, which will be executive-produced by Neil Goldberg, producer of Fox's NASCAR coverage.

LARRY WALLACE NEW ENGINE BUILDER FOR TOYOTA

The lead engine builder for the new Toyota program, according to Detroit sources, will likely be Larry Wallace, the star motor man who has been making horsepower for Rusty Wallace (no relation) the past several years.

Larry Wallace decided not to renew his contract with Wallace and car owner Roger Penske at the end of last season, and Wallace is reported to have moved back into his former shop, not far from Lowe's Motor Speedway.

Meanwhile, Toyota's first wind-tunnel runs with its NASCAR Truck didn't go well, according to NASCAR sources, who report that Toyota engineers didn't tie the Truck down tightly enough during the runs at the Langley (Va.) wind tunnel a few weeks ago. The Truck tore loose from its moorings and did serious damage to the facility, forcing it to close for two weeks for repairs. No word on how much Toyota had to pay for damages.

SMI NET INCOME DROPS

Speedway Motorsports Inc. reported fourth-quarter net income of nearly $8.5 million, or 20 cents per share, a drop of about 20 percent from $10.6 million, or 25 cents per diluted share, earned in the fourth quarter of 2001. Revenue fell to $72.9 million from $80.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2001. SMI officials, however, say the results are not directly comparable because of a one-time gain in the fourth quarter of 2001, changes in racing schedules and a new food and beverage agreement whose profits are now reported as other operating revenue. The announcement met analysts' consensus estimates. For the year just ended, Speedway had net income of $56.2 million, or $1.32 per diluted share, on revenue of nearly $376 million. In 2001, the company had earnings of $57.6 million, or $1.34 per diluted share, on revenue of $375.2 million. The company, which operates Lowe's Motor Speedway, Atlanta Motor Speedway and other tracks, says it expects to earn between $66 mil lion and $70 million this year, with earnings per share ranging from $1.55 to $1.65.

CALIFORNIA SIGNS RACE SPONSOR

California Motor Speedway says the Automobile Club of Southern California has signed a multiyear agreement to be the title sponsor for the track's Winston Cup race, which will now be known as the Auto Club 500. The sponsorship takes effect with this year's race, which is scheduled for April 27. The Auto Club replaces NAPA as the title sponsor. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

A man in Las Vegas for a business convention died of natural causes while driving at a racing school. Philip Jerome Malarkey's death at Las Vegas Motor Speedway was attributed to coronary atherosclerosis, a common cause of heart attacks, the coroner's office said Tuesday. Malarkey, 58, of Arnold, Md., paid several thousand dollars to participate in the Richard Petty Driving Experience. After classroom instruction, Malarkey became unconscious while driving a race car similar to those used in the NASCAR Winston Cup Series, said Brad Mark, driving school general manager. Mark called Malarkey's death the first in 13 years at the race driving school.

RACES TO AIR LIVE IN UK

NASCAR and the North American Sports Network have announced plans to broadcast all Winston Cup and Craftsman Truck Series races in 2003 on the new American sports television channel serving the United Kingdom and Ireland. It will be the first time that all Winston Cup races will be broadcast live in the UK. Subscribers will pay about $15 a month to have the digital service added to their existing service. The service will be available in more than 7.5 million homes on Sky (satellite) and ntl:home (cable). Financial terms were not announced

NASCAR CREATES NEW DIVISIONS

NASCAR has announced the creation of two new racing divisions: NASCAR Elite Division and NASCAR Grand National Division.

"This represents a bold new direction for NASCAR's regional racing programs," said Chris Boals, NASCAR's director of regional touring. "These new divisions are a model for the sustained growth of our sport, and offer excellent opportunities for driver development at each level."

The NASCAR Elite Division will consist of four NASCAR-sanctioned series: the Featherlite Southwest Series, Raybestos Brakes Northwest Series and the newly renamed International Truck and Engine Corporation Midwest Series (formerly the RE/MAX Challenge Series) and Kodak Southeast Series (formerly the Hills Bros. All Pro Series).

The Elite Division will accommodate drivers who have recently been competing in the NASCAR Weekly Racing Series presented by Dodge or at other local short tracks. At this level, competitors will compete on a variety of tracks before progressing to other NASCAR divisions.

Once a competitor has gained experience in the Elite Division, the next logical step is the NASCAR Grand National Division, which will now consist of the Busch North Series and the NASCAR Winston West Series

HENDRICK ADDS SPONSOR FOR ITS NO. 5

Hendrick Motorsports says the American Dairy Association is becoming an associate sponsor on its No. 5 Chevrolet driven by Terry Labonte in the Winston Cup Series. The team says the Got Milk logo from the association will be displayed on the hood, side panels and television panel of the car, which has primary sponsorship from Kellogg's Corn Flakes. The dairy association will also be featured in special paint schemes for races at Richmond International Raceway in May and Chicagoland Speedway in July.

CREW CHANGES AT RCR

Richard Childress Racing is freeing car chief Scott Naset of catch-can work with Kevin Harvick's No. 29 car so he can concentrate on managerial duties. That seems to be a trend among teams. Keeping a car chief off pit duty allows them to focus completely on race strategy. Kirk Almquist will move to the catch-can job, and Kenny Barber will take his place as the rear tire carrier

HARRAH'S TO SPONSOR LARRY FOYT

Harrah's Entertainment Inc. has announced plans to serve as the primary sponsor of driver Larry Foyt in A.J. Foyt's No. 14 Dodge in the 2003 Winston Cup Series. The casino company said it had reached a two-year sponsorship deal with the team. No financial terms were announced. Larry Foyt, the 25-year-old son of team owner A.J. Foyt, is scheduled to make his Winston Cup debut in the Daytona 500, a race his father won in 1972. Separately, NASCAR.com reports that Mike Hillman has left the team and says team engineer Craig "Butch" Lamoreux is becoming the car's crew chief.

LARRY/WALLY LOOKING TO FORM TEAM

Fox Sports analyst and former crew chief Larry McReynolds is in discussions with NBC analyst and driver Wally Dallenbach to start up a new Busch Series team for the second half of the season. "We'd like to find an existing team and see if they're interested," McReynolds says. He says his ability to work on cars will enhance his value on the broadcasts.

BODINE LOOKING FOR PARTNER

Brett Bodine, among the last drivers who own their cars, is working on a partnership with Bob Brooks of Hooters Restaurants. Bodine, 44, says the move should give him a better outlook. "We just haven't been able to get ahead of things," Bodine says. "The last few years, we were going backward." He missed four races last season and finished 36th in points.

BACE, RAINES PLAN FULL CUP SCHEDULE

BACE Motorsports has announced plans to run the entire 2003 Winston Cup schedule with Tony Raines driving the team's No. 74 Chevrolet. The team, which has won three Busch Series championships, says Larry Carter, who was crew chief for Todd Bodine at Haas/Carter Motorsports last year, will be the crew chief for the car. "We're excited to make the transition to the Winston Cup level with the No. 74 team," owner Bill Baumgardner says. Raines, who joined BACE in 1999 as driver of its No. 33 Busch Series entry and won rookie-of-the-year honors in that series, competed in seven Winston Cup races for the team last year and will compete for rookie honors in the series this season. He will be competing against Jamie McMurray, Casey Mears, Larry Foyt, Jack Sprague and Greg Biffle for the rookie title. Michael "Dover" Kadlecik, who was crew chief for the team's Busch Series entry last season, will be the head engineer for the Winston Cup effort.

7 NASCAR DRIVERS LINED UP FOR IROC

Seven NASCAR drivers have been named to the 12-man field to compete in this year's True Value International Race of Champions Series. Winston Cup drivers scheduled to participate include Kurt Busch, Kevin Harvick, Jimmie Johnson, Mark Martin and Ryan Newman. Greg Biffle, who will drive in the Winston Cup Series this year, was named to the field as last year's NASCAR Busch Series champion, along with reigning NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion Mike Bliss

TONY FURR JOINS MORGAN-MCLURE

Morgan-McClure Motorsports has hired a new competition director to prepare for the 2003 season. Tony Furr, who began his Winston Cup career in 1989, joins the Abingdon, Va.-based team to assist team manager Tim Weiss and crew chief Chris Carrier. "I feel like he can help make a difference. We are looking forward to the Daytona test session and Speedweeks with an invigorated attitude."

Furr, 46, is native of Concord, N.C

2 CHANGES ANNOUNCED FOR KENSETH CREW

Robbie Reiser, crew chief for Roush Racing's No. 17 Ford driven by Matt Kenseth, has named two new pit crew members for the 2003 Winston Cup season. Reiser has named Justin Nottestad and Jeremy West to the squad that has won the last two Unocal 76/Rockingham World Pit Crew Competitions. Nottestad moves up from front tire carrier to the tire changer position with the team, while West, who is new to Roush Racing, will be the rear tire changer. They replace Phil Drye, front tire changer, and Dave Smith, rear tire changer. "We hated to see those guys go," said Reiser. "But we understand that they made the decision to move to another team because they felt like that was what was best for them personally. I can appreciate and respect that. I knew it wasn't going to be easy to replace those two -- they're both really talented -- but we have filled the positions, and we're excited about next year."

There are published reports this week that NASCAR officials are moving toward smaller spoilers and working with Goodyear to use softer tire compounds, but the officials aren't ready to say when the changes will be made. While drivers such as Rusty Wallace are urging the change as early as the season's second race, the Subway 400 at North Carolina Speedway in Rockingham, Winston Cup Director John Darby said that the changes may not come that quickly. He also said Goodyear has agreed to produce softer tires if NASCAR can reduce downforce, which Darby said the sanctioning body intends to do. The changes would make cars less dependent on aerodynamics and might make for more competitive racing by reducing the aero-push and increasing passing. "It's going to take some time, and it's hard to pinpoint how long that will be," Darby said.

KEVIN GRUBB LEAVES TEAM BRISTOL

Kevin Grubb and Team Bristol Motorsports owner Rick Goodwin are parting ways, freeing Grubb to take a ride in Carroll Racing's No. 26 entry sponsored by Dr Pepper. Goodwin has a short list of potential replacements for Grubb, but he may hold off on making a decision. Grubb will replace Ron Hornaday at Carroll Racing, which is also making the switch to Dodges for 2003.

Sports management firm IMG is selling its motorsports business to Elevation Motorsports, a newly formed IMG-affiliated company.

ISC EXECUTIVE SHUFFLE ANNOUNCED

International Speedway Corp. Chairman Bill France yesterday announced new titles and responsibilities for several executives. France, 69, will remain chairman but will give up the chief executive officer title to his brother, James C. France, 58, who has been president and chief operating officer since 1987. Lesa D.

The team will be based in the York, S.C., shop of veteran crew chief David Ifft. Neader Sports Management of St. Petersburg, Fla., is looking for additional sponsorship that could lead to an expansion of the schedule.

NEW HAMPSHIRE TO GET SPONSOR, LIGHTS?

New Hampshire International Speedway has scheduled an announcement Thursday that the Boston Globe is predicting will be for the Sylvania light company to say that it has reached a multiyear sponsorship deal. Michael Vega of the Globe writes that it "would make sense for NHIS officials to hammer out a quid pro quo deal with Sylvania to outfit the track with lights" in the wake of NASCAR's revelation last week that more tracks would be encouraged to add lighting to start their races later in the day.

KANSAS GETTING SECOND CUP DATE?

NASCAR executives have told Kansas Speedway officials that "that track would likely" get a second Winston Cup race in the future. Chicagoland Speedway, located in the third-biggest market in the U.S., appears to be the more logical choice for the second date, but Kansas City is more likely because it is wholly owned by International Speedway Corp., which is controlled by NASCAR's France family. Chicagoland, on the other hand, is a joint venture between ISC and Indianapolis Motor Speedway President Tony George. NASCAR officials last week indicated that a realignment that would see races move out of the Southeast and into larger markets across the country may happen as early as next year.

KERRY EARNHARDT TO PILOT PEEPS CAR

FitzBradshaw Racing will field the No. 12 Marshmallow Peeps Chevrolet Monte Carlo in the Busch Series Rockingham 200 on February 22, 2003. This one-race running of the Peeps® car is in celebration of the candy's 50th anniversary.

Terms of the deal, which will kick off with the Daytona 500, were not disclosed

MBNA DROPS ONE WEEKEND SPONSORSHIP

MBNA is dropping its sponsorship of the September NASCAR weekend at Dover International Speedway, according to a report in the Delaware News Journal. The Wilmington, Del.-based credit card bank, however, is extending its sponsorship of the track's June race weekend. MBNA's sponsorship of the September event is worth between $1 million and $1.75 million, Denis McGlynn, president and chief executive of Dover Motorsports Inc., which owns the track, told the newspaper. He said the track will seek a new sponsor for the September events

LAS VEGAS PLANNING EXPANSION?

BUSCH CAR SPONSOR RENEWS

Sta-Rite, a pump manufacturer based in Wisconsin, says it is renewing its limited sponsorship of Tommy Baldwin Racing's Busch Series program as driver Damon Lusk seeks the rookie-of-the-year title. In two races in the car last year, Lusk finished 42nd at Richmond after an accident and 22nd at Atlanta

HAMILTON TO STICK TO TRUCKS

Veteran Winston Cup driver Bobby Hamilton announced yesterday that he would focus on his Bobby Hamilton Racing team in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series this year. Hamilton said he would drive his No. 4 Dodge for the entire Truck Series season with sponsorship from Square D, which had sponsored the Andy Petree Racing car Hamilton drove in the Winston Cup Series last year. Hamilton also intends to enter Chad Chaffin in his No. 18 Dodge, replacing Robert Pressley, for the entire season, and he will enter a truck for Bill Lester in the season-opening race at Daytona. Newt Moore, who was crew chief for MB2 Motorsports' entry for Ken Schrader in the Winston Cup Series, will be Hamilton's crew chief for the No. 4 truck. Hamilton, 45, has started 368 Winston Cup races since he first entered the series in 1989 and collected four wins and 20 top-five finishes. He has also run the truck team for the past five seasons

NASCAR IMPLEMENTS NEW RULE FOR SUPERSPEEDWAYS

NASCAR has implemented a new rule effective for the four superspeedway races at Daytona and Talladega this season requiring the total rear weight of the right rear and the left rear to not exceed 50-percent of a car's minimum weight. For example, a car required to weigh 3400 pounds must not weigh more than 1700 pounds across the rear wheels.

Winston Cup series director John Darby said Tuesday the rule was adapted to prevent teams from circumventing the rear shock and spring requirements at Daytona and Talladega.

"Teams were starting to add more and more weight to the rear of the cars, which was sitting on a specified spring," he said.

"Part of the direction teams were using to beginning to head in was actually changing some of the tubing sizes which could affect the crushability of the rear of the car."

Darby said NASCAR did not want to allow teams to chance compromising the safety advantage in rear crushability.

MARTINSVILLE BUILDING NEW FACILITIES

Martinsville Speedway owner Clay Campbell says the Virginia track will have a new infield care center and victory lane for the April 13 Virginia 500 Winston Cup race. "We took a look at some of the other care centers at other tracks and tried to incorporate all of the good things that we saw at those tracks into our new center," says Campbell. The new infield care center will include a four-bed examination area, a two-bed trauma area, a waiting room, a family waiting room, a lounge and a reception area. The former infield care center is being converted into a work area for team public relations representatives and will also have two radio production and transmission booths.

NASCAR GETS NEW CEO

George Pyne has been promoted to chief operating officer of NASCAR and has been named to the stock-car racing sanctioning body's board of directors, joining four members of the France family and NASCAR president Mike Helton.

Pyne's title has been senior vice president of NASCAR. The change does little to change his job -- he will continue to lead day-to-day operations of all of NASCAR's departments.

Brian France, the son of NASCAR chairman William C. France Jr., also has a new title. He was executive vice president, and now will share the title of vice chairman with his uncle, Jim France

SPORTSCAR DRIVER BINGHAM ENTERS NASCAR

Grand-Am GTS Series Champion Chris Bingham and Jay Robinson Racing will join forces for the 2003 NASCAR Busch Grand National season.

Bingham, in Daytona testing last week for the upcoming ARCA 200, has signed to drive the Jay Robinson No. 49 NASCAR BGN Ford for the 2003 season.

Winston Cup driver and TV analyst Derrick Cope will serve as a driver consultant for Bingham in 2003.

The #77 Jasper Motorsports team has added six new team members for the 2003 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season, including four crew members who will augment the team's existing pit-stop unit for it's over-the-wall efforts in support of driver Dave Blaney.

NASCAR TO SPELL OUT RED-FLAG POLICIES

Fox television analyst Jeff Hammond says NASCAR expects to do a better job next year of letting fans know when the sanctioning body might red-flag a race. "There's going to be a better and clearer definition of a red-flag situation, so the fans should know what to expect if track conditions warrant a red flag near the end of a race," Hammond writes today on the Fox Sports Web site. "I'm really excited about NASCAR's new approach to let fans know that their decisions aren't pulled out of their hats at the last second." Hammond says that the Fox broadcast team learned of the intention when they met with NASCAR President Mike Helton and Vice Presidents George Pyne and Jim Hunter last week.

BILL DAVIS NAMES BUSCH CREW CHIEF

Bill Davis Racing has named Chris Rice to be the crew chief for Scott Wimmer in the 2003 Busch Series. Rice, a 28-year-old native of South Boston, Va., joined Bill Davis Racing this year as the shock specialist for the team's No. 23 Winston Cup car.

CREW MEMBER PASSES

Don Stiteler, gas man for Ed Rensi's No. 25 Grand National team, died Sunday. He had been with the team since 1999

PPI HIRES NEW CREW CHIEF

PPI Motorsports has announced the hiring of Scott Miller to be the crew chief for the No. 32 Pontiac to be driven by Ricky Craven in the 2003 Winston Cup Series. Miller, who has worked at PPI in the past, is returning to the team from Richard Childress Racing, where he had been a shock and chassis specialist. Roy McCauley was to have been the crew chief for the Cal Wells-owned team for next year, but reports have said that he has left the team.

NASCAR WILL TEST SAFER BARRIER

NASCAR managing director of competition Gary Nelson plans to visit the University of Nebraska this week to test a modified version of the impact-absorbing SAFER barrier that is designed to fit short tracks.

Dean Sicking, the barrier's designer, and his staff have built a mock-up of the high-banked, short-radius turns at Richmond International Raceway and will hit the modified SAFER barrier with an unoccupied race car. If it achieves impact-absorbing results similar to those from the barrier's first deployment at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, SAFER could be installed at more tracks next season.

The barrier was used on the inside retaining walls at Talladega Superspeedway in October.
