Wednesday, May 19th, 2010 12:24 PM EDT
Z-VIEW: "My anticipation, it will sell out in minutes, at most hours…" Director Kelley days before tix went on sale. 72 hours to D-Day, tix still available. But the bigger issue, the city, which owns the Hall seems to be playing down expectations, blaming economy.

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010 02:22 PM EDT
Z-VIEW: If CEO Bernard, whose idea it was, learned anything after only 2-months in racing? Don't trust Bruton, 'cuz what's important to him is what's important to him. He's no more than a 'carny barker', one assumes merely trying to raise SMI's 'no-market' stock price?

Monday, May 17th, 2010 01:33 PM EDT
Z-VIEW: The 'Hall' is pulling out all the stops for the 'induction' ceremony; rightfully so, it's quite an accomplishment, not only for Charlotte, but for the sport's purists. Much has been written regarding NASCAR's 'true' roots, the best being unofficial, now it's officially 'public knowledge'.

Z-VIEW: Big-time racers tweet as if to proclaim 'hipness'. Manufacturers, teams, race track websites encourage [Follow Us], but all to what end? Social-Media has evolved into Selling-Media, everything but you. Worse yet, you're pushing audience from your site only to be 'poached' by others.

IRL: Bombastic Bruton Blabs Bernard Befuddled Bewildered Bemused
Friday, May 14th, 2010 09:41 AM EDT
Z-VIEW: There weren't many smiles at IndyCar Series headquarters when a plan that CEO Bernard secretly hatched broke ahead of schedule. SMI CEO Smith's blubbering just another example of his audacity or senility. The Lex Luthor of racing needs to go, like to the 'home'.
