Although to my mind racing around a plain circular track in cars that are mere pastiches of the real everyday cars you can buy is a peculiarly American abberation of motor racing I was intrigued this morning to read in a google alert that "Graham's return to the #72 for Memphis in "Harmony" with Gordon Lightfoot. . . "
I eventually found http://www.motorsport.com/news/artic...Other%20series and http://www.bgnracing.com/news/2004/3.../101504_72.htm
the former holds interesting news

Highpoint, NC -- John Graham returns to the number 72 MacDonald Motorsport Team at Memphis for the Sam's Town 250. It will b
his first opportunity to race at the ¾ mile Memphis Motorsports Park track on Saturday, October 23rd. And in keeping with the event's salute to Elvis Presley, "He Dared to Rock", Canadian singer songwriter Gordon Lightfoot will promote his latest album Harmony on the #72 car.......... John Grahanm also said aparently "Gordon had helped me very early on in my career and it's great to be involved in the promotion of his new album Harmony"

Gordon Lightfoot has five Grammy nominations

I noted no indication of the model of car involved but I did see a reference to www.jsgmotorsports.ca but both Internet Explorer and google declined to find that site. see my later reply below.
Anybody care to ask EMP about this and can somebody try to get a picture of the suitably adorned psuedo-racing car
I also found
"Graham, who lives just north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, is one of the very few Canadians to have ever competed at any
level of the NASCAR "
and
"John Graham, a winner just four years ago at LeMans in his Porsche 675,"
also
"His most recent accomplishments include 7 starts at the 24 Hours of LeMans - including a 675 class win in 2000 - and third
place in the 2001 American LeMans Series (ALMS) 675 Driver Championship. In addition he has also competed in the Paris-Dakar
Rally."
