DAYTONA BEACH , Fla. (June 5, 2006) - In today's media environment, the phrase "history-making" is used fairly casually. However, the expression has real meaning when applied to An American Revolution 150 presented by Kevin Whitaker Chevrolet at Greenville-Pickens Speedway on Saturday night, June 10, for a variety of reasons.

 

  •   It marks the debut of the NASCAR Grand National Division, Busch East Series as the successor to the former Busch North Series. Beside the new identity, the series will begin the quest for a new champion.

 

  •   It commemorates the first live, flag-to-flag network television coverage of a NASCAR Grand National race, which originated from Greenville-Pickens 35 years ago in 1971. That race was carried live on ABC's Wide World of Sports, while this year's will be shown in high-definition on HDNet.
