<description><![CDATA[ (May 25, 2012) Fans, friends and families have been coming to Plattsburgh’s Airborne Park Speedway for stock car racing since 1955. Since  those old days stockcar racing has become a national phenomenon, one of the nation’s favorite spectator sports. But on this popular regional track, the passion is more personal. The cars are mostly homemade and the drivers range from teens to retirees. “Stock” doesn’t really say it all about these cars, or the people who love them. Sarah Harris went to the track and sends this postcard.
