Nascar Nothing Like It

By Alexa Martin

For more than half a century NASCAR has captured people's interest with their swift and unpredictable races. Every year hundreds of people queue up to buy NASCAR TIX. Here is a look at some of the most prominent drivers in the sport who lead NASCAR tickets selling into frenzy over the years.

Richard petty

The legend is far out ahead of everyone when it comes to race victories, and is tied first for the most championship victories with Dale Earnhardt sr. Richard was the first driver to win 3 world titles and went on to amass 4 more in a career that lasted 35 years. He ended up with exactly 200 race victories from 1184 races, a record that is likely to stand for many more years to come.

Dale Earnhardt Sr.

Born in North Carolina in'51 to erstwhile racer Ralph Earnhardt, Dale showed a lot of promise early on. He made his entry on the race track in'75, but it wasn't until'79 that he drove his first full season in NASCAR. He won his first Winston cup in only his second season, and went on to win 6 more. His prolific career sadly ended on the track when he died while racing in 2001. He was one of the biggest crowd pullers in his days, with his intimidating driving style driving people crazy trying to get their hands on NASCAR TIX.

David Gene Pearson

Pearson stands at second position on in terms of race victories in NASCAR, Behind Richard Petty at 105 wins. He popularly came to be known as the silver fox in his time and is best remembered for his many duels on the track with Petty. In a fourteen year period the two of them finished 1-2 on 63 different occasions, with Pearson outpacing his favored competitor 33 times. He won the sprint cup three times in his career and was inducted in the motor sports hall of fame in'90.

Jeff Gordon

Gordon won his first sprint cup after a stiff battle with Dale Earnhardt, the defending champion in'95. He went on to amass three more titles and stands at 3rd in all time lists, and went on to become the first driver to amass $100 million in winnings.

Jimmie Johnson

He is a three time defending sprint cup champion, and looks set to take his 4th with 4 races to go in the current season. On first sight, Jimmie Johnson comes out to be a driver who has achieved a lot, but when you look into this 34 year old's celebrated talent, you realise there is so much more that he can achieve. He has got 46 race victories to his name and is only the second driver after Cale Yarborough to win three titles on the trot.

If you are not a fan of NASCAR already, chances are after reading this you will have become one. There is so much more to these men than we could have told you in a few words, and there is so much more to the sport, than you can understand from reading a few pages. So go buy yourself NASCAR tickets, or find a dealer to find your NASCAR TIX for you and begin your affair with the sport. - 31488

Shopping for Car Insurance Quotes Online

By John Bellafonte

With the high price of car insurance, everyone is looking for a better deal. While most insurance companies are adequate, some people may need to upgrade their policy for cost effectiveness or may be adding a second vehicle. Before just contacting your current provider, an online search for car insurance quotes may reveal something better out there.

Many hobbyists and car buffs will need particular policies if they have restored or are in the process of restoring an antique or classic car. These types of vehicles require special coverage due to their age and type of car that they are. This is particularly true of the classic muscle cars as they tend to be on the road more than the restored antiques.

By gathering a few of these car insurance quotes and comparing them, one may find that there are better deals out there than what they currently have in place. These companies provide a much higher level of coverage than the average insurance company due to the value of the vehicles. This holds especially true for the antique cars that have been fully restored.

The antique car policies are unique in that the vehicle is driven much less than any other type of car but still requires insurance against damage for those rare times it is on the road. The actual cost of the premium may be quite a bit lower than a muscle car just due to this. Each of the car insurance quotes received will specify the amount of miles a year that the policy will cover in these cases.

Specialty companies like these not only offer car insurance quotes but quotes for antique m boats and motorcycles as well. The same car is taken with these in fitting a policy to an owner as with the classic cars. For those that own more than one classic or collectible, there are policies available to cover all in one that will cost much less than a separate policy for each.

The websites will have forms that need to be filled in before a quote can be generated. All of the vehicle information should be as accurate as possible. Information such as the VIN number, year, make, model and yearly miles will be asked for in these forms and should be close at hand while browsing. The forms themselves are fairly simple to complete.

Car insurance quotes online are the quickest way to compare rates and coverage for any vehicle imaginable. With today's technology, these quotes may be returned to you in a matter of seconds. In certain cases, the insurance company may need to contact you for more specific details regarding the vehicle and this can make the quote results take a bit more time in getting back to you.

Take the time to do the research in to the background of the companies that you are considering for insurance coverage. The classic and collectible cars, boats and motorcycles are a special breed and need special handling. Make sure the provider that is chosen has done this before and has a good reputation for customer service and coverage. - 31488

William K. Vanderbilt Jr's Motor Parkway

By L.J. James

I recently took a trip back in time to Long Island NY's past! No I was not in a Delorean. I was actually in a 1929 Model A Ford,It was one of many in a pack of Model A Fords.My trip back in time was hosted by members of the Model A Ford Club of Long Island. The Club Established in 1959 is one of the oldest and largest Model A Clubs in the U.S. The Trip took me back in time to Long Islands distant past,Way Back before the LIE back before even the Northern and Southern State Parkways.All the way back to the glory days of William K. Vanderbilt Jr's Long Island Motor Parkway. The Motor Parkway or the LIMP has been forgotten by many.Portions of it can still be found across the Island some parts are even still in use now going under other names. I must admit I knew almost nothing of the Long Island Motor Parkway before this trip back but as I learned about its history and how it was a major part of shaping the Island we all know and love today, I became very interested in learning more and I would like to share with you a little of what I have learned.

The history of William K. Vanderbilt Jr's Motor Parkway began on June 6th 1908 when its construction started. It was one of the first concrete roads in the Nation and it was the first to use Bridges and over passes so as to not have any intersections. The Motor parkway reached its almost full length of 45 miles from Queens to Lake Ronkonkoma in 1911 with 65 Bridges and many twists and turns.(There was a 2 and a Half mile western extension built in 1928)

The Motor Parkways History of racing is that of legend and still remembered by many Long Island race fans, William K.Vanderbilt Jr was an avid race fan and racer. He often raced in America and France. Disappointed by the lack of Americans winning any of the races he started the Vanderbilt Cup races in 1904 here on Long Island. The race was an international event and would pit 16 Drivers against each other for the prize of the $2000 Silver Cup which was designed by Tiffany & Co.The Cup was the first major trophy in American auto racing. The Races where first held on 30 miles of local roads in Nassau County.These Races where the Beginning of America's love affair with auto racing.In 1906 when two spectators where killed and many others injured by a racing car on Jericho turnpike near the intersection of what is known today as NY Routes 106 and 107, Vanderbilt and friends soon came up with the idea for the Long Island Motor Parkway. The Cup Races where Successfully held on Long Island in conjunction with the Motor Parkway Until 1910 when four spectators where killed and twenty injured.

With the Cup races gone the Motor parkway became purely an access route with a toll of $2.00 and was used mostly by New York's rich looking to hit the party circuit or to go for Sunday Drives and of course by those just looking to drive really fast.The Motor parkway was a privately owned toll road with no speed limit, No Commercial Traffic and because it was privately owned it was off limits to law enforcement. During Prohibition the Parkway gained a reputation as a rum runners road as bootleggers started using the road to transport alcohol.In 1917 the toll was lowered to $1.00 and when more Drivers started using the Motor Parkway to travel across Long Island the speed limit was reduced to 40 mph and local Police where aloud to begin patrolling the parkway to improve traffic safety. An estimated 150,000 cars per year used the Motor parkway at its prime. There where 12 toll lodges along the parkway and the toll lodges have a great story all their own. The Long Island Motor Parkway Continued on until Easter Sunday,April 16th 1938 when it was forced to close. The Motor Parkway even after reducing its toll again to only 40 cents was No longer able to Compete with Robert Moses State of the art Toll free Northern State Parkway. After its Closer the Motor Parkway was split up and sold off, Many of its Bridges destroyed and roads forgotten.Although some Remaining Sections of this Historic Parkway like the 13 Mile eastern most Section in Suffolk still remain in use Most of the Parkway and its History has gone forgotten until recent years.

Members of the Model A Ford Club of Long Island had known about a section of the Long Island Motor Parkway with one of its Bridges still standing hidden away behind Old Bethpage Village and Restoration on Round Swamp Road in Old Bethpage Where the Club holds its Monthly meetings. For those of you who don't know Old Bethpage Village and Restoration is a pre-Civil War Long Island Village with more than 55 historic buildings and a place where anyone of us can travel back in time for the day.I'm sure most of you out there from Long Island will remember it from field trips back in your School days.Well It is all still there with its same historic Magic and those old fashion Sodas and Candies you remember. I have found Old Bethpage to be the perfect place for a first Date! It will not only take you back threw time but it will make you feel like a Kid all over again. In the early Months of 2007 the members of the Model A Ford Club of Long Island started Clearing away what time and neglect had covered up. Then in May 2007 after much hard work the Members of the Model A Ford Club of Long Island got together at Old Bethpage Village and Restoration and took the first Cruise since its closing on their own private piece of the Motor Parkway and Long Islands History. Mark Adler and his 1931 Model A Coop had the Honor of leading the Group and being the first the travel on it! Long Island has some great History and We must always remember We need to save our Historic Buildings and Land marks!!!

While researching this story one thing that kept coming to my mind was that if Long Island is one of the first place's where Auto Racing in the US began then doesn't that mean that Auto Racing really needs to stay here? Lets reclaim the Glory!!!

A Car Insurance Quote for First Time Drivers

By John Bellafonte

"Dad, can I borrow the car?" These words can strike fear in to the heart of the most stalwart of parents. A new driver in the family means one thing and one thing only, that more insurance will be needed on the family car. A car insurance quote from your current insurance provider and one or two others may help to relieve this burden a bit by doing a little comparison shopping.

A car insurance quote can show ways to save money that may not have been thought of by the average parent. Some insurance companies offer a discount for a good grade point average in school and this can help reduce the amount added to the premium. Many insurance providers will work directly with you to find discounts when insuring a younger driver.

The issues that accompany a new driver can cause the insurance companies to start them a quite a bit higher rate than someone who has been behind the wheel for a few years. The relative lack of experience means that the new driver falls in to a "high risk" category with many providers. The right car insurance quote can mean the difference between driving and riding a bicycle for a newly licensed operator.

For those that live in major metropolitan areas or dense populations may see an increase over those that live in the country. With more cars and more traffic, the possibility of an accident or ticket is much more likely. This increases the risk the insurance provider is taking in covering a new driver.

Those who live in rural areas will receive a lower car insurance quote than those who reside in the big cities. Most of the driving will be done on roads that do not have a good deal of traffic so the chance of accidents is reduced as well. It is important to let the insurance company know where the new driver will need to commute before getting a car insurance quote.

There will be a difference in rates comparing the ages of a new driver as well. A new driver in their teens will likely be quoted a higher rate than someone in their mid twenties that has just learned to drive. The age difference leans towards a maturity level that is taken in to consideration by the insurance providers.

These quotes will assist you in making the right choice in car insurance coverage for your teenage driver. By comparing these to the rates of other companies and even your current provider, an informed decision can be reached. Make sure to read each quote very thoroughly when doing the comparison.

Once the car insurance quote has been received and compared to the others, an informed decision may then be reached as to which one to choose. Read the fine print particularly well and be sure that all contingencies are covered. Above all, be sure that the coverage being provided is the best for the amount of money being spent as this will add some peace of mind when handing over the car keys for the first time. - 31488

Combining auto insurance and the power of the internet can result in finding a ton of auto insurance quotes online. In order to make sure that you are protected from potential lawsuits filed by other motorists involved in an accident, you must carry liability coverage. Medical expense coverage will pay for hospitalization and treatment no matter who is at fault during an accident.

Uninsured driver coverage and underinsured, along with comprehensive and collision may all be added to a basic policy when requesting auto insurance quotes online. Comprehensive coverage is basically everything except for collision and will serve almost any driver's insurance needs. Take the time to research all of the coverage options before requesting a quote.

If you take the aforementioned steps you will be making the most of your experience when shopping for auto insurance quotes online. First, check all state requirements and suggested provisions from auto insurance providers. Secondly, consider if it's beneficial to keep full support through vehicle insurance companies. Lastly consider purchasing a blanket policy from your insurance company.

Liability insurance is required by every state and the minimum limits on this coverage vary from area to area. The normal range for this is anywhere from $10,000.00 to $30,000.00 and depending on the locale, possibly higher. Be sure to research what amount you are required to carry and adjust the quote request accordingly.

Complete coverage on older cars does not make much sense as the cost of repairing one may be more than the vehicle is actually worth. By paying out a large premium on the chance that this may be needed, one may find they have actually spent enough to buy a new car once it is all said and done. Take the time to find out what the car is actually worth and balance that against the cost of the policy over time.

The approximate worth of the vehicle can be located from Kelley Blue Book. An additional option for establishing car prices is the NADA website. Another method you can use to get the most from your auto insurance quote online is to check other policies you may have and ask your current company about including the auto insurance to that policy.

Are Auto Insurance Companies Caught in the Middle or Taking Advantage?

By John Bellafonte

Auto insurance is a necessity, not only for you, but go zll those around you. Many states require that insurance be purchased for a vehicle before it ever goes on the road. The amount of coverage though, is left up to the owner, as long as it meets the state required minimum as many require that just liability insurance be on each vehicle in operation.

One of the ways to cover damages to the vehicle itself it to have collision coverage in place in case of an accident. An accident report will be required by any insurance company when filing a claim, as this lets them know all the details. These details can include, damage to the vehicle itself and who is at fault.

Insurance claims can tend to become more convoluted when one of the drivers has no coverage in place. This means that their end of the costs of damages needs to be paid by someone and very few people have that kind of money just sitting in a bank account waiting for this situation. Many providers have a rider on their policies to cover uninsured motorists and some states even require it.

Auto insurance premiums will therefore be higher if this rider is in place to help absorb the cost of an accident with an uninsured motorist. While the act of operating a motor vehicle without insurance is a very irresponsible one, the costs still have to be provided for. This puts the burden on the responsible motorist that has insurance in place by adding to their monthly premiums.

With many people on the road, operating a motor vehicle without insurance, the providers must have a way to recover their losses when an accident occurs. The increased premiums allow them to do just that. Uninsured and underinsured drivers make up a small portion of people on the road today.

According to independent studies, approximately one out of every six vehicles on the road does not carry any type of insurance. Auto insurance premiums have risen about 1.5% to help cover the costs incurred when accidents happens involving one of these vehicles. Over the past few years, the number of uninsured motorists has decreased, however, making it much more likely that if involved in an accident that both drivers will be covered by at least liability insurance.

While purchasing the uninsured motorist rider for a vehicles' coverage may increase the premium slightly, the knowledge that you are well covered brings added peace of mind. Insurance companies cannot simply raise rates to cover these costs, they need to provide added services and much better coverage to remain competitive. In order to bring in even more business, many providers have turned to online advertising and sales, to bring in even more customers.

In summary, the auto insurance industry needs to stay competitive while maintaining or increasing profits. Because of increased competition, you should find the insurance companies have found they can no longer raise rates just to increase profits. They have to justify increases with a better product or increased service but, either way, the consumer wins. - 31488

What You Need To Know About Buying Car Tires

By Melvin Sentrovski

Frankly, there are millions of things a car owner can do than purchase tires for his car. However, if you just run out and buy any old tires without doing your homework and weighing the options, you are likely to spend more money than you need to.

Whether you have a car, a van, a truck, or a sport/utility or crossover vehicle, it is possible to get a good buy on tires. It isn't necessary to pay top price for tires; although prices can vary widely, affordable tires are available if you look.

Below we have listed a few important things to consider before you go out shopping for tires for your car.

Replace All Four Tires - Go ahead and get a completely new set of tires simultaneously. When you buy four tires at a time, you'll get the lowest price per tire with many tire retailers; you can even get the fourth one free with select deals. You'll also know that your tires will all be in equal states of repair.

Shop Online, Use Coupons - I prefer to shop on the Internet for almost everything, to include car tires. Now, I do not actually purchase the car tires on the web, but I do my comparison shopping over the Internet to find the most reasonable local pricing. You will find that identical tires will have extremely different prices from store to store.

Select High Mileage Tires - If you will be maintaining your vehicle for a while, do not short yourself with a 40,000 mile warranty. Compare the many 60-, 70-, or 80,000 mile tires that you will find offered for your car. It is probable that you will find the cost of higher mileage car tires to be somewhat more expensive, but you will recapture that expense over time.

Do Additional Car Maintenance - go ahead and have your car looked over completely as you get your tires replaced, so that you can as much done as possible. Don't pay extra for labor on separate trips, when you can get it all done in one single visit to the shop.

Lastly, be certain that the car tires you purchase are the correct tires for your vehicle. You can find this information in the owner's manual as well as attached to the inside of the driver's side door. - 31488
