Doubtful but there seems to be more interaction between the 2 lately than I would ever have guessed. We've talked Milwaukee to death so now we are heading down to my home state of Texas where apparently the good folks at Texas Motor Speedway (I saw the Stones & Smashing Pumpkins there in '97, D'Arcy likened it to playing the county fair) have decided to run a Beckham related contest .
The jist is that if Becks scores they will give away a pair of tickets to some old race or other. Yes, it is strange that a NASCAR track with no affiliation with the game would use it as a promo tool. Yes, it is strange that they are effectively promoting the opposition instead of the home team. And yes, it is really strange that they are doing this when Becks isn't even going to be in Dallas; they posted this today even after it was widely reported yesterday that he would not make the trip to D-Town.
In other NASOCCER news, how is that Red Bull car doing this season?

Team red bull has struggled, to say the least. They have 2 cars that attempt every nextel cup race, cars #83 (Brian Vickers) and #84 (AJ Almindiger). Neither car is in the top 35 in the NASCAR owners points standings, so neither car is guaranteed a spot in the race each week. They must attempt to qualify for one of the 8 non-guaranteed spots along with whomever else shows up that's not "locked in". Vickers has made more races than Almindiger and he's run average to above average in some of those races, but car #84 has really, really struggled, to the point where you wonder how much more of this they'll take from that group.
Sincerely,
A MLS season ticket holder who is able to manage to follow both MLS and NASCAR at the same time.
