Original equipment?
2:07 PM
Longtime buddy Scott Goodman, a NASCAR official who works in the scoring department each week, had an apt observation while viewing the melee that was the Cup garage at 11:15 a.m.
"When was the last time you saw one of those," he said, gesturing at a pair of rectangular box-hooded payphones mounted on the end wall of the last garage, facing the backs of the haulers. "Or better yet, when was the last time you actually put money in one of 'em?"
By the weathered looks of them, the phones might have been original equipment when MIS was built. And for the record, even though I can remember making 10-cent calls on payphones, the going rate on these was 50 cents.
