In the NHL, the Vancouver Canucks take on the San Jose Sharks Friday night in San Jose, and the New Jersey Devils battle the Sabres in Buffalo Saturday night. In the NBA, it?s the Detroit Pistons at the Denver Nuggets, and the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Miami Heat, both Friday night.

TRIVIA ANSWER
C. Charlotte Speedway
The very first NASCAR race took place on a dirt track at the old Charlotte Speedway in North Carolina on June 19, 1949 in front of a crowd of approximately 23,000 curious spectators. Christian "Jim" Roper took first place (and the $2,000 purse) in a Lincoln Cosmopolitan after reading about the race in a syndicated comic strip. Some legendary racers competed that first day, including Lee Petty, Curtis Turner, and Buck Baker.
