stock car automobile racing organization that was scheduled to begin operations in2004 . TRAC was proposed by a group called Team Sports and Entertainment Inc., whose shareholders includedCale Yarborough , a three-time winner of theNASCAR Winston Cup Series season title,television executiveRobert Wussler ; and formercollege football coachDanny Ford .The concept of TRAC was to put teams of drivers in identically prepared cars that were said to be similar to the
muscle cars produced by Detroit. Some of the cars that were scheduled to compete included theChevrolet Corvette , theDodge Viper , and theFord Mustang . All entries were to be equipped withRiley & Scott -designed chassis and fuel-injected V8 engines supplied and sealed (to prevent tampering) by a designated vendor.Teams, representing various
race track s throughout the country, would accumulate points in each race for each driver, presumably based on the order of finish. The plan called for regular season races, playoffs, and a championship.TRAC had a contract from
ESPN to televise the races.Raycom Media handled marketing and sold advertising, and Yarborough was the league's spokesman.TRAC was unable to sell sponsorships for any of the proposed teams, and the league folded without conducting a single race. The end of TRAC was officially announced on
August 26 ,2003 .External links
