Officials from Pep Boys announced Tuesday the national auto parts and service chain would sponsor the fall Nextel Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. The Pep Boys Auto 500 is scheduled for Oct. 28 at the 1.54-mile track. Financial terms were not disclosed. Another open wheel sponsor gone to NASCAR because of the open wheel spilt, which has decimated the sport. Did you catch the crowd last Sunday at MIS for the IRL race where there was not a massive free ticket giveaway? You could shoot a cannon into those grandstands and there's a good chance you would hit no one.
