The latest local news, weather and high school sports from the Heartland

(AP) -- The oldest motorsports publication in
America is going out of business after 76 years.

The publisher of National Speed Sport News says the final issue
is Wednesday.

The first edition of the weekly paper was dated Aug. 16, 1934.
Chris Economaki sold that first issue at Ho-Ho-Kus Speedway in New
Jersey, began writing for the paper soon after and became editor in
1950.

His daughter, Corrine, said Tuesday the sluggish economy has
made it too difficult for her to continue the publication. She
called NSSN an integral part of the Economaki family for its entire
76-year run.

The online version of the newspaper will continue and provide
daily news.
