I do not know a lot about this bill we are considering, but in my part of the country, stock car racing is very, very big business, and to my knowledge, there is no foreign participation, to my knowledge, in stock car racing, either in NASCAR or Busch Grand National as we know it today. Is what we are doing today just setting aside a facility or grounds for the NASCAR people and the Grand National people to come in and display? This is not going to be highlighting individuals, or either Ford or Chrysler or GM, this is not going to be highlighting products, this is just going to be showcasing NASCAR as we understand it in this country? Is that what this bill does?
