NASCAR forced to slash prices because merchandise not selling

Awash in merchandise it can't sell because consumers are spending money on high gas prices instead, Motorsports Authentics said it would cut prices of Sprint Cup team jackets by $30 and standard die-cast car models by $10, among other reductions, starting with this weekend's race at Daytona International Speedway. The twill jackets normally retail for $120 and the die-casts for about $75.
