Asheville Regional Airport increases most daily rates in parking overhaul

Next week, the Asheville Regional Airport will implement a new parking model. The update is intended to “introduce simplified parking options to make parking choices clearer and improve the customer experience,” the airport said.

FILE - In this Nov. 8, 1976, file photo, stock car driver David Marcis waves a checkered flag and hold his winner's trophy after the Dixie 500 in Hampton, Ga. Only 39 cars showed up for the second race of the Sprint Cup season, the lowest number of entries in more than two decades. While the reduced numbers won't affect front-runners such as Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin _ after all, we're talking about low-budget drivers who probably would've been lapped early in the race _ it does drive home the end of an era. "We've lost a lot," said former driver Dave Marcis, who spent much of his long career simply trying to qualify for races in under-financed cars. (AP Photo/Lennox McLendon, File)
