Sam Bass Holiday Collection Now Available Nationwide: The Sam Bass Holiday Collection - a series of holiday-themed "fantasy" die-cast collectables created by NASCAR's premier artist - is now available nationwide and is comprised of 12 Sprint Cup Series drivers including Kasey Kahne, Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick and 2007 Sprint Cup Champion Jimmie Johnson.
Bass, NASCAR's first officially licensed artist, has been designing paint schemes for 20 years and began the holiday collection in 2002. The Sam Bass Holiday Collection, available in 1:24 scale and 1:64 scale, allows NASCAR fans to celebrate their favorite season of the year while also giving the NASCAR collector a great holiday gift of stocking stuffer.
Each car, decked out in festive holiday graphics, is available on groacing.com, Motorsports Authentics dealers nationwide and at the Sam Bass Gallery in Concord, N.C. Bass offers a special signed and numbered version of the cars that are accompanied by a design template on which Bass hand draws a full-color remarque of each drivers' special holiday paint schemes.
"This collection has continued to grow over the years and has quickly become a favorite for NASCAR fans and collectors nationwide," Bass said. "How better to celebrate your favorite driver than with a holiday-themed fantasy diecast?"
The 2007 collection is comprised of 12 drivers - Mark Martin, Kahne, Denny Hamlin, Matt Kenseth, Elliott Sadler, Stewart, Gordon, Harvick, David Gilliand, Juan Pablo Montoya, Johnson and Carl Edwards.
The designs begin with original illustrations created by Bass to reflect each driver's personality and oftentimes his hobby, both at and away from the track. Bass' original illustrations become the focal point of the car design, usually adorning the hood as large as possible. He then adds colorful holiday graphics to complement the overall design.(PR)(12-7-2007)

NASCAR Specialty License Plate Now Available To Florida Residents: The NASCAR Foundation, in partnership with the Florida Sports Foundation (FSF), has announced a new NASCAR-themed, official Florida license plate that will be available to fans for purchase at this weekend's Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Net proceeds from the sale of the specialty plate will benefit The NASCAR Foundation and the Florida Sports Foundation. The FSF will distribute proceeds to support the marketing of motorsports-related tourism in the state and 50% to support The NASCAR Foundation's charitable organizations. Last year alone, The NASCAR Foundation donated $250,000 to Speediatrics, a racing-themed pediatrics unit in Daytona Beach and Homestead, Fla. This weekend, Florida residents traveling to Homestead-Miami Speedway can pick up their plate at a mobile FLOW (Florida Licensing On Wheels) unit stationed at the track. The units are equipped with the technology and ability to bring valuable DHSMV services right to the customers, including the ability to issue specialty plates on the spot. The units will be parked near Gate 11 at Homestead-Miami Speedway from Friday, Nov. 16 through Sunday, Nov. 18. To purchase a NASCAR specialty plate, fans must prove that they have a vehicle registered in the state of Florida, a valid Florida driver’s license and proof of insurance. The annual specialty license plate is $27. Residents not traveling to the track this weekend may still purchase a NASCAR specialty plate at their local Department of Motor Vehicles.

NASCAR plate expected to be ready by January in FL:
Just in time for next year's Daytona 500, Florida race fans should be able to buy NASCAR license plates. Gov. Charlie Crist and the state Cabinet are scheduled to vote Sept. 19 on the design of a new NASCAR plate. If all goes well, the plates will go on sale in January. The extra cost per plate is $25 with a $2 processing fee.(Daytona Beach News Journal)(9-8-2007)

Motorsports Authentics, the leader in the design, promotion, marketing and distribution of licensed motorsports merchandise, announced the launch of a full line of Dale Earnhardt Jr., merchandise commemorating the Elvis Presley 30th Anniversary paint scheme that will adorn the famous No. 8 Budweiser Chevrolet on Sept. 8 at the Chevy Rock & Roll 400 (ABC, 7pm/et). Earnhardt Jr.'s No. 8 Budweiser Chevrolet is a predominantly white scheme with black and red highlights and features Elvis' image on the hood and rear quarter panels, plus the King's image and "Elvis 30th" on the deck lid for the Chevy Rock and Roll 400 at Richmond International Raceway. The car was unveiled on Aug. 13, on the front steps of Elvis' Graceland home and was on display during Elvis Week in the Elvis Auto Museum. Presley, who revolutionized American pop music with his earthy singing style and became a hero to two generations of music fans, died 30 years ago at his home in Memphis, Tenn.
Motorsports Authentics, in an effort to commemorate this special partnership between the King of Rock 'n' Roll and NASCAR's most popular driver, has made a full line of merchandise available for racing fans and Elvis supporters worldwide. Included in the Earnhardt/Elvis 30th line of merchandise are die-cast collectible cars, tee-shirts, decals, magnets, guitar bottle openers, twill jackets, collector pins and much more. Product will be available at mass retail, authorized dealer outlets, trackside and on QVC and the NASCAR.com Superstore. Product is also available through the Racing Collectables Club of America (RCCA).
"The King of Rock 'n' Roll and the current king of NASCAR coming together is a fan's dream come true," said Mark Dyer, president and CEO of Motorsports Authentics. "By making product available at various different channels, we're going to allow this partnership to live on through collector items well past Sept. 8, when Earnhardt Jr.'s Elvis Pressley 30th Anniversary car hits the track as Junior attempts to qualify for the Chase for the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup."(Motorsports Authentics PR)(9-8-2007)

Action Brand to be brought back: Motorsports Authentics announced the re-launch of the Action Racing Collectables (ARC) brand for its core line of die-cast. Joining Motorsports Authentics' President and CEO Mark Dyer today at the press event at Bristol Motor Speedway was Action Performance founder Fred Wagenhals as well as several current and former Nextel Cup Series drivers that are distinguished as the top 10 die-cast producers of all-time. Launched in 1993, ARC was the flagship brand of Action Performance Companies, known now as Motorsports Authentics, and was developed with four guiding elements: developing and maintaining exclusive licenses with top drivers, manufacturing controlled quantities, streamlining distribution and demanding high quality products. Motorsports Authentics' reintroduction of the Action brand to its die-cast line leaves no doubt that the company is "Still the Choice of Champions."
"Action is one of the great brand names and traditions in the history of NASCAR merchandise," Dyer said. "We are excited to bring back this terrific brand by popular demand and appreciate the involvement of Action founder Fred Wagenhals in helping design our 2008 product line. Our Action motto for 2008 rings true as we certainly are 'Still the Choice of Champions.'" Motorsports Authentics markets and distributes its line of die-cast and other product through a variety of channels including its Authorized Dealer network, the Racing Collectables Club of America (RCCA), QVC, GoRacing.com, Trackside at racing events, direct corporate promotions, mass retail and department stores, specialty dealers and select online retailers. Fans and collectors expecting and demanding the highest quality product can look for Action-branded die-cast beginning in 2008.(Motorsports Authentics PR)(8-25-2007)

New Motorsports Authentics leader will try creative changes: The new head of NASCAR's largest merchandising agency will try to help the company become profitable and also try to create items that fans want to buy. That sounds simple, but considering that Motorsports Authentics represents many teams, that isn't always easy. Fans might flock to the merchandise haulers of a few select drivers but the company also is in the business of marketing merchandise for drivers not as popular. Mark Dyer, former vice president for licensing and consumer products at NASCAR, took over Motorsports Authetics a couple of weeks ago and has the task of making it profitable. The company is a split venture between Speedway Motorpsorts and International Speedway Corp., which each own 50%, and SMI reported $3.2 million in losses (for its half of the company) in 2006, Motorsports Authentics' first full year in operation. Some of those losses included the cost of merging the two companies that were bought to create Motorsports Authetics - Team Caliber and Action Performance. "We're dedicated to selling as many drivers as possible," Dyer said last week. "We have a ton of drivers in our portfolio. One of the questions this industry faces is how to make more drivers successful from a licensing standpoint. "Obviously you have the ones at the top that sell the vast majority of merchandise, but every team, every driver, every sponsor wants to be represented and that's the challenge in the economic model is how to represent them. We're committed to having their product available, but I think the question is where can the product be available that is the most cost effective way that it can be done for us as a business." The company has about 500 employees and has 49 merchandise haulers that go race to race. It deals with more than 200 licensees.(full story at SceneDaily.com)(7-5-2007)

Dale Jr. Merchandise Still Selling Well: Sales of Dale Earnhardt Jr. merchandise has skyrocketed 107 percent in the week since NASCAR's most popular driver said he was leaving his late father's company at the end of the season. The surge surprised industry experts, who believed sales of Earnhardt's red No. 8 Budweiser Chevrolet merchandise would dip while he searches for a new team, number and maybe even a new sponsor.(Associated Press)(5-17-2007)

Florida Senate Approves NASCAR License Plate: Florida may not be getting the NASCAR Hall of Fame, but racing fans could soon be able to buy a specialty stock-car license plate. The Florida Senate unanimously approved a bill Monday that creates a NASCAR license plate as well as several other specialty tags. The House still has to approve the tag, but [the bill sponsor Sen Carey] Baker said he is confident that will happen. Proceeds from the annual $25 specialty fee charged for each of the plates will go to NASCAR; The NASCAR Foundation, a charitable group; and the Florida Sports Foundation, a state group that promotes sports. If the bill becomes law, Florida will join nine other states in offering NASCAR license plates. In 2005, lawmakers approved a NASCAR plate to boost Daytona Beach's bid for the NASCAR Hall of Fame. The plate was expected to generate $1.5 million a year for the effort. The plate was contingent on Daytona Beach getting the hall, and because the museum went to Charlotte, N.C., it was never created.(Orlando Sentinel)(5-1-2007)

NASCAR license plate plan crashes, burns in Illinois: A plan to offer Illinois motorists the chance to buy NASCAR license plates is stuck on pit row with a flat tire. Legislation sponsored by state Rep. Bob Flider, D-Mount Zion, failed to receive enough votes in the House Thursday and was sent back for a tune-up. “I’m going to try and resolve the concerns I heard today,” Flider said. Flider had sought to bring NASCAR plates to Illinois as a way to celebrate the popular stock car racing series. The plates, already available in several other states, would cost $35 more than standard plates and would allow motorists to pick plates featuring their favorite drivers. But, state Rep. John Fritchey, D-Chicago, questioned whether the state should be paying NASCAR for the right to use their logo. “I think people should think twice about this,” said Fritchey. The legislation is House Bill 946.(the Pantagraph)(3-9-2007)

Quiet Earphones: The buzz of cars speeding around the track is one of the most exciting sounds in car racing. It's also the most uncomfortable - and potentially damaging. To protect the comfort and hearing of race fans, Pineville, NC-based Outside the Box, Inc. introduces the new RaceQuietT Earphones. The new RaceQuiet Earphones allow fans to enjoy their race experience to the fullest, without being distracted by the discomfort and pain that sometimes accompanies such an exceptionally loud environment.

The RaceQuiet Earphones feature an Acoustic Isolation SystemT (AIS) which provides 42 decibels of noise reduction across the entire sound spectrum, allowing race fans to enjoy maximum comfort in extreme noise environments. The AIS utilizes state-of-the-art electronics and miniaturization processes based on the same patented technology used by the U.S. military.

New Racing Simulators “Making Laps”: The latest innovation to bring excitement to the display areas around most all the NASCAR race tracks are the “new” Racing Simulators use by many corporate displays currently touring the Nextel Cup Circuit. The Motorsports Image (www.motorsportsimage.com Racing Simulator line of products has proven to be a winner everywhere race fans are. Many team owners, marketing executives and motorsports sponsors are heralding these racing Simulators as the newest and most effective way to entertain and market to racefans in several decades. The Motorsports Image Simulators consist of several types of products all of which can be custom designed to meet the customer’s requirements. Probably the most creative is the award winning Sim Showcar which is a showcar that has the real driver’s seat inside that actually moves with the video game. A wide screen monitor is placed inside the front windshield and the race fan driver hops inside and uses the actual steering wheel, gas and brake pedals that the real drivers use. The seat has a motion base system installed underneath and that enables the driver to feel all the action out on the track as they drive the racing game. The bumps, the bank of the track, the vibration of racing all can be felt in this innovative new Simulator product. The most amazing thing about this product is several of the Sim Showcars actual run and have made parade laps around race tracks. The MSI (Motorsports Image) Sim Showcar recently achieved award winning status at the last International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (I.A.A.P.A.). The other two creative products now touring the tracks are the MSI racing Seat Sim and the MSI ¾ Scale Sim racecar.
The MSI Seat Sims consist of a roll cage equipped with real racing seats, big bazooka sounds and all the movement of the real race car inside the game. This Sim product simply rolls into place on its on base and is ready to race almost anywhere in a matter of minutes. Many other companies have used the Sims at their trade shows such as Motorola, Coca Cola, and many more companies representing corporate America and their products. All of the MSI Racing Simulators use common 110 Volt current and can be set up and running anywhere. For more information Motorsports Image can be contacted at 704-663-1023 or at www.motorsportsimage.com.(6-24-2005)
NC License Plates Now Available: NASCAR fans across North Carolina now have 33 new ways to express their love of racing as the N.C. Department of Transportation's Division of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV) has given the NASCAR license plate series the green flag. The new NASCAR-themed plates are the latest additions to NCDMV's specialized license plate program, which includes over 90 special license plates that allow citizens to express their common interests and civic affiliations. The NASCAR series features a general NASCAR plate in addition to plates highlighting 32 of the sport's most popular drivers. Requests for specialized license plates are approved by the General Assembly. Primary sponsors of the bill approving the NASCAR plate series were Senator David W. Hoyle and Representatives Wayne Goodwin, Linda Johnson and Karen Ray. Each plate has a checkered-flag background design, which substitutes for the "First in Flight" design on standard issue plates. The left side of the plate features an image representing a NASCAR driver while the right side has the identification letters and numbers. Motorists also have the opportunity to personalize the letter combinations on the plate.
In addition to the NASCAR series, NCDMV is introducing two other new plate designs, "Friends of the Appalachian Trail" and Virginia Tech. The "Friends of the Appalachian Trail" plate is currently being manufactured and should be available soon to the public while Virginia Tech plates are already available. Motorists should start seeing the NASCAR series plates on the road in just a few weeks. Applications are currently available by calling NCDMV's Specialized License Plate Office at (919) 861-3575. Motorists may request the plates online and at license plate agencies throughout the state in about two months. For more information on NCDMV's specialized license plate program visit www.ncdot.org/dmv and click on specialized license plates.(NCDOT site)(3-30-2005)
AND why no #3 or #8? That leaves one question for many fans: When can I get my Dale and Dale Jr. tags? The answer: Well, you can't. So why no plates for Dale Earnhardt, the Kannapolis racing legend who died in a wreck four years ago, or for his son, who is one of the sport's most popular drivers? Essentially, the plates are too tacky. Okay. They didn't say that. But Joe Hedrick, vice president for licensing at Dale Earnhardt Inc., said the tags don't look right. "Those plates don't reflect the image of the North Carolina plate," Hedrick said, adding that he would want them to look more like the state's traditional "First in Flight" plates, but with Earnhardt's No. 3 or Junior's No. 8 emblem on one side. If you look at it, it looks like a very commercial plate," he said. Hedrick said he's sure DEI and the state could work something out. It's the company's obligation, he said, to give the state options for a different-looking tag. Hedrick also said to tell fans "we're not abandoning them. We just want to go through the process to have a more authentic plate."(Charlotte Observer)(3-31-2005)
