A plan to let motorists put NASCAR license plates on their cars zoomed out of the Illinois House Tuesday. The proposal had spent the last year in the legislative repair shop after it failed to garner enough votes to move to the Senate for further debate. State Rep. Bob Flider, who sponsored the legislation, said he tweaked the proposal in hopes of bringing in more money for state programs. ''We put the car in the pit stop� and retooled it,'' said Flider, D-Mount Zion. The plates, which would cost $40 more than standard state tags, would join the more than 60 different specialty plates already offered by the Illinois Secretary of State's office. Other specialty plates feature state universities, mammogram promotion and outdoor activities. Key to winning approval was a change in how the added money is distributed. The plan would earmark at least $20 from each plate for vocational rehabilitation programs. -- The Southern

We have them here. Use to when you got a speciality tag it was 40.00 the first time and then the regular price of your tag after that. I was gonna get a Nascar tag for my truck til they said it was 50.00 every year. The majority of the ones bought around here are Kyle Petty and Dale Sr.
