“This tradition is the highlight of our weeklong festivities in New York City celebrating Champions Week and the 2007 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series season,” Benitez said.
Rolling along in single file, the 3,400-pound stock cars, powered by 850-horsepower engines, figure to rattle windows and scatter pigeons en route to the finish line, in the shadow of the Hard Rock Cafe at 43d Street and Seventh Avenue. Pete Schnatz, Philly.com
