Fans gathered Wednesday at the Fremont Street Experience to get autographs and see their favorite drivers upclose at the beginning of NASCAR Champion’s Week.

Chris Economaki was a great motorsports journalist; heck, for the longest time, he was the only American motorsports journalist, or so it seemed. He died Friday at 91, which in auto racing years is longer than the 24 Hours of LeMans and the Indianapolis 500 and the World 600 all rolled into one.
