Texans Enjoy NASCAR

NASCAR Comes to Texas

The thirteenth annual Samsung 500 races into Fort Worth this Sunday.

Austin, TX - April 13 -- It's been 11 years since NASCAR first came to Texas, with the opening of the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth back in 1996. With an appropriate venue came big ticket NASCAR events like the Samsung 500 and Dickies 500 (both of the NEXTEL Cup series), the first of which gears up this Sunday, April 15th.

Race week kicks off with the Dallas Morning News Qualifying Days this Thursday and Friday. The O'Reilly 300, a NASCAR Busch Series race, is scheduled for Saturday. All culminating in the excitement and fanfare that is the Samsung 500 on Sunday.

What makes this event truly Texan is the winner's tradition -- the donning of a cowboy hat and the firing of six-shooters. You don't get more Lone Star than that. But for the past 12 Samsung 500 victories, a different victor has held the honor. Will 2007 be the year that a repeat winner is finally crowned or will we see a 13th racer celebrate?

Watch your favorite NASCAR stars take on Texas' famed 1.5 mile track this weekend. Ticket City is offering deep discounts on anything from backstretch to pit-side seats. To purchase tickets, including one-day to four-day badges or Hospitality, should call (800) SOLD-OUT or go online to www.TicketCity.com.

Ticket Scams Investigated At Olympics

Investigation of Olympics Ticket Scams Continues, According to the Moriarty Leyendecker Erben Law Firm

HOUSTON & BOULDER, Colo.-- August 03, 2008 --An ongoing investigation of Olympics ticket scams has identified defrauded consumers throughout the world, according to the law firm of Moriarty Leyendecker Erben.

The law firm - whose senior partner, Jim Moriarty, was himself victimized by an official-looking ticket web site - has been contacted by individuals in several nations since the firm launched a web site (www.beijingticketscam.com) on Saturday to support the investigation.

"The consumer response to the investigation is extraordinary," Moriarty said. "Our team is reviewing longer-term litigation options, but with the opening ceremonies for the Games just a few days away, we're also trying to help these individuals salvage their Olympics trips. Their stories are heartbreaking. We've even heard from families of Olympians whose dreams to see their loved ones compete in China are at risk."

The International Olympic Committee and the U.S. Olympic Committee recently filed lawsuits in U.S. federal courts against operators of two web sites, alleging that they are using committee trademarks to deceive and defraud the public. The lawsuits do not seek to recover losses for defrauded consumers.

Moriarty said, "We believe the Olympic committees should have addressed this problem months ago, when consumer complaints first arose - not last week after the deadline for legitimate ticket holders to transfer Olympics tickets passed. That policy only compounds the problems of the victimized consumers who still hope to attend the Games."
