Per the JournalNow: NASCAR may be announcing the 1998 WC schedule earlier than expected this summer, because car owners will need to brace their sponsors for another $500,000 increase in sponsorship fees(Jayski note: what is this? this should help the smaller team(NOT)) Supposedly there be 3 new races added to next year’s schedule, according to NASCAR sources, for a total of 35 regular-season points events, in addition to the Busch Clash, the Winston All-Star race and the Suzuka exhibition. I hear two of the three races could be at Texas and California with the third going to Las Vegas, no news on Homestead(6-16-97)
