Ric "Nature Boy" Flair Delivers the Most Famous Phrase In NASCAR Later Today

Posted: Sep 22nd 2007 By: CMBurnham

The RoadLoans.com 200 NASCAR Busch Series race will take its starting command from a wrestling icon. Ric Flair, WWE wrestler and former champion will deliver the four most famous words in NASCAR -- "Gentlemen, start your engines." As a guest of RoadLoans, a leading direct-to-consumer auto finance company, Flair will be Saturday's Honorary Starter for the Busch race.

Debuting in 1972, Flair influenced the world of wrestling and brought swagger and charisma to the sport. Flair's impact on the profession can be compared to that of Michael Jordan to basketball and Babe Ruth to baseball. Still today fans recognize Flair as the "Nature Boy."

Still involved in wrestling, Flair has established a finance business offering consumers a four-step process in identifying lending partners who specialize in car and home loans. His online application process allows consumers to shop for the best lender without the hassle of dealing with large banking institutions.

NASCAR Busch racing returns to Dover International Speedway on Saturday, September 22 for the RoadLoans.com 200 NASCAR Busch Series race. Tickets are still available for the entire Sept. 21 - 23 race weekend and can be purchased by calling 800-441-RACE or online at DoverSpeedway.com
