BYK for NTRA '08

I'm sure that BYK would be a great racing executive.
However money is what drives everything in every business.
Because of racing structure of having independent tracks being regulated by state authorities you can not force anyone to do anything. The states are not going to cede power ever. You would hope that the tracks would work together a bit more but in many instances they are competitors for the same customers.
