The switch to digital TV is coming around
fast. Coming around as fast as a NASCAR racer zooming around the
track? That's what the federal government wants you to think. The
Federal Communications Commission is putting up $350,000 to sponsor
NASCAR team number 38. The Yates Racing Ford Fusion will feature
the date of the switch-over -- February 17, 2009 -- and the words:
"Are you ready for digital" on its hood. The markings will be on
the car for three races, starting on Sunday. The FCC will also post
the Web site for the transition on the walls of the race track, the
car's side and on the driver's helmet and suit.
