Former New York City Mayor and Republican Presidential Candidate Rudy Giuliani made a surprise visit during the lunch break of Mondays Nationwide Series testing. Giuliani, who attended last years Sprint Cup Series July race at DIS, took a parade lap around DIS in his campaign bus and then toured the garage area. Giuliani said NASCAR is a sport that must be witnessed in person. This is a sport that I think most people dont get this sport until they come and see it, Giuliani said. In a strange way, it reminds me of hockey. Hockey is a game that when people watch it only on television, they dont get it. The minute they go to a hockey match, they are hockey fans. Theres something about the speed (of NASCAR), the excitement, the risk, tremendous amount of team work. Its a fabulous sport.(DIS PR)(1-21-2008)
