The National Rifle Association announced Monday a sponsorship deal with NASCAR to sponsor the April 13th Sprint Cup Series race at Texas Motor Speedway.  The race will be called the NRA 500.  While the organization sponsored a Nationwide Series race at Atlanta last season, this will be the first NRA-branded race in NASCAR's premier series.  Texas Motor Speedway president Eddie Gossage says the deal is for one year with a one-year option.
