Randy Moss looked entirely at ease moving through the garage area at Darlington Raceway. That’s because the star receiver and owner of Randy Moss Motorsports says NASCAR feels like home. With his main job on hold he’s a free agent and can’t strike an NFL deal until the league’s labor troubles are resolved Moss has immersed himself in his venture as co-owner of a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series team. He’s watched his racers, Travis Kvapil and Tayler Malsam, at Daytona and Darlington and plans to attend Truck Series races at Martinsville and Nashville next month. Moss sees a similarity with Joe Gibbs, a three-time Super Bowl champion coach in Washington who built his passion for racing into Sprint Cup success. Moss thinks he’s got the same drive for the sport and hopes it can lead to NASCAR championships as Gibbs has done. “So that’s something I can take out of his book,” Moss said. Moss also might help NASCAR move the needle in its drive for a more diverse audience. Minority owners such as Moss will attract others, Dollar is certain. “It can’t be anything but a benefit for the sport,” he said. Right now, Moss hopes to enjoy as much time at the race track as he can. He loves the roar of the engines, the smell of a barbecue and the joy of Southern fans gathering with a couple of beers to see who’s the fastest at the end of the night.(AP/SPEEDtv.com)(3-18-2011)
