Germain Racing's 2008 Nationwide Series entry with Mike Wallace behind the wheel was author Patrick Reynolds' latest employment before layoffs hit the NASCAR industry.

I have lost my job before. It is devastating but part of the business I made my living in. I feel firsthand the pain that many are going through. Careers in professional NASCAR competition are not immune.

I was a NASCAR team mechanic in recent years. My last year in competition was 2008 with Germain Racing. The entire industry near my Charlotte area home suffered through massive layoffs and downsizing, not unlike many sectors of American business. The Germain team was affected by sponsorship hardships and forced to let many good people go.

As I tried to rebound and land with another team, the ugly truth kept staring me square in the face. No teams were hiring and all teams were laying off. Estimates were over 1,000 of my fellow racing brothers were walking the streets trying to find employment.

We knew it! Thanks, LOLnascar.

This weekend the stars of NASCAR got together with the stars of country music in Nashville, Tenn., for the fifth annual Sprint Sound and Speed festival. Fans were treated to performances by country artists, and got the chance to meet Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart, Kasey Kahne, Kyle Busch and others.

While this is the fifth year of Sprint’s festival in Nashville, fans in the Northeast have been treated to one off-season motorsports expo for 25 years now.
