IROC XXX
The 30th and final season of the Crown Royal International Race of Champions began on Friday, February 17, 2006 at Daytona International Speedway. The all-star roster included thirteen drivers (in twelve cars) from seven premier racing series. Tony Stewart consistently ran up front and won two races and finished ahead of the equally consistent Matt Kenseth by 12 points. As with the past two editions, the drivers used their car colors and numbers from their native series (when feasible). This was also the first IROC season since 1991 to include a road course race (held on the Daytona International Speedway road course).

gollark: I believe at least one company tried to run internal markets but had horrible problems.
gollark: But presumably there are a lot more conceivable possibilities than that.
gollark: I mean, most actual companies just run on some kind of internal hierarchy or very occasionally this kind of cooperative.
gollark: I wonder what other interesting organization structures could exist.
gollark: I like it. Very information-dense.
