Once unstoppable, NASCAR is finally slowing down
With falling TV ratings and more empty seats at the tracks, organizers are looking for new fans

A headline this week on NASCAR's Web site said the circuit is "looking to expand into the hip-hop lifestyle," which, to some people, might sound like St. Elmo Steak House looking to expand into vegetarianism.

Such is the reality at NASCAR, where, as in most sports, organizers are searching for new fans. But because of stock car racing's explosive growth, and its origins as a regional niche sport, questions have arisen about whether appeal has peaked.

Gordon shakes off Las Vagas crash to capture pole in Atlanta

HAMPTON, Ga. -- Jeff Gordon, bouncing back from a hard crash in Las Vegas, felt a whole lot better Friday night after winning the pole for the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

On Sunday, Gordon walked away without injury after bouncing off the car driven by Matt Kenseth and slamming into the wall in a hit that tore apart the front of his car, leaving his radiator sitting steaming on the track.

"I was sore, but none of the soreness affected me in the race car," Gordon said after posting a fast lap of 185.251 mph on the 1.5-mile Atlanta oval, easily faster than the 184.852 of Dale Earnhardt Jr.
