Teams, tracks to General Motors: Where's my money?

Sure, it's Turkey Time, but there's still business to be done -- ugly business, in some cases. The deadline to file claims with the former, now bankrupt, General Motors is Monday, Nov. 30, and several NASCAR-related entities are looking to get some money out of whatever's left of the onetime giant.

The claims range from the relatively minor (Auto Club Speedway is seeking $45,500 for a hospitality contract) to the significant (Dale Earnhardt Inc. is seeking $3.3 million for an unspecified contract). Other claimants include Daytona International Speedway ($651,000) and JR Motorsports ($198,000). 

It's another reminder that the rough times are not yet done. While there's plenty of griping to be done about NASCAR's Chase and so on, there are much more important issues surrounding this sport that remain uncertain and unresolved.
