As Opening Day kicked off for Major League Baseball, FoxSports.com made mention of a different turf – suited better for lawnmowers than baseballs. Highlighting the upcoming Nostalgia Days Race in Zion, IL, FoxSports.com reports:
The Northbrook-based group, which celebrated it 18th birthday on Thursday (no fooling), will be in Zion on June 25-26 for Nostalgia Days. Competition will be on a level playing field — as far as the drivers, if not necessarily the turf.
”We often say, ‘Anything mows,’ but not steroids,” USLMRA founder and president Bruce Kaufman said. ”The USLMRA will measure the forearms and head of each driver and benchmark results for indication of steroid use. Our sport brings out the racing spirit in the common man, so we’re taking a grassroots stance for fair play. I can also deny that Mark McGwire will be a pit-crew member of any STA-BIL Series race team.”
Beyond FoxSports.com, the USLMRA has also recently received coverage and mentions from such reputable sources The Las Vegas Review-Journal, The Chicago Sun Times, and The Cleveland.
