Nascar Nextel

How can I help my son collect the NASCAR Nextel Cup Driver/Team 2-sided postcards?

My son is really in to NASCAR. He has managed to memorize all the drivers and teams in the Nextel Series and he’s only 8!!!Recently at several local events we were able to pick up these 8 1/2 x 11 doublesided postcards with driver and team info and pictures. Can you get these by mail or anyother way?
I should have included other than on the secondary market. Is there a trick to finding these at events or knowing who is going to have them? Do all teams have them or just some? I only saw them this year for the first time. However I know there must be some collectors out there who can give my son some tips on how HE can locate these cards. Right now its a crap shoot. : )

Yes most teams will send a card if you mail them a SASE requesting a “hero” card.I have done it in the past for a few teams.Also if by chance you are driving by a gas station and see one of the show car haulers stopped to get fuel,bathroom etc.,I have done that a few times.Luckily for me I live in an area that has a few Truck Stops so they stop in here from time to time.Actually just this past Tuesday I stopped and talked to the show car driver for Jaime McMurray while he was getting something to drink at one of our gas stations.Another thing I have been seeing lately is if there is a nation wide company that has a store/franchise in the area they are starting to carry them.I have gotten them from the #16 Jackson Hewitt,17 Arbys and Carhartt and a few others I cant think of right now.But yes you can request them through the mail.As long as you dont want it autographed it will arrive rather quickly.Just write to the P.R. person for the team.This way is ALOT cheaper than ebay.

NASCAR is a competition and has its own set of championship series and World Series Major League Baseball or the Stanley Cup Playoffs in the National Hockey League. Probably the most famous NASCAR championship series is the NEXTEL Cup series. Note that the Cup will become Sprint Cup because of the merger of the Corporation Sprint and Nextel Communications.

The NEXTEL Cup history began with the firmness and Securities in 1949, the Grand National Series between 1950 and 1971 and between Winston Cup 1972 and 2003. Innovators of the NEXTEL Cup Series have made so that drivers can score more points and even get 5 bonus points every time you take the initiative for even one lap. And the lowest point in the outcome of the race receives at least 34 points.

This model results from the competition much more than the NASCAR final over more competitive with the National Football League in the number of viewers watching the sport of racing. The series also consists of a series competition in the last 10 races known as The Chase. " This is where the best riders are selected based on accumulated points (those tied in one position too) After 26 races. There are many winners in this series. The champion receives $ 5 million and the rest end up in the 10 positions each receives $ 1 million. There's even something for the 11th place driver: a bonus of $ 250,000. All this is designed to maintain competition and excitement at a high level throughout the season.

Craftsman Truck Series is one of NASCAR truck race championships designed from modified trucks. The season extends from February to November. The first race is run Chevy Silverado HD 250 at Daytona International Speedway. Operate trucks without license restriction to limit the maximum speed as the NEXTEL NASCAR Busch Series, and yet because trucks are not as aerodynamic, they can not reach the speeds of the cars do.

The Busch Series is another Championship and is equivalent to the minor leagues of NASCAR racing. However, unless you are an expert, not easy to detect differences between the Series competition Busch and NEXTEL competition. The difference is in the cars. The Busch Series cars have a shorter wheel base (105 inches instead of 100 inches) and the spoiler is greater too. At the end of the 2007 season, Busch has announced it will no longer sponsor the Busch Series and now other sponsors, including Wal-Mart and Subway Sandwiches are trying to win a place as the main promoter of the event.

And then there's the Championship between car manufacturers known as the NASCAR Manufacturer Championship. This championship has conducted since 1949 and works for points given to car manufacturers represented in each race. The automaker at the end of the season most points wins. Chevrolet won the NASCAR championship in 2006.
