I was a young boy when a football-carrying monster by the name of Earl Campbell would punish runners, and do it on the feet of a ballerina. He made every game for the Houston Oilers exciting for the sport. I was perusing an article where they were describing the Heisman Trophy winner, and NFL Hall Of Famer […]

I have been reading some cool ideas, and the creative juices started to flow. I guess when I read, or hear about a plan to better our sport, I get giddy like a little kid. I think we could all stand to have a dose of that, and maybe we may have some different results. […]

I met a friend in the backstretch kitchen as he guzzled three cups of coffee in ten minutes. Me, I couldn’t drink it if a $100 bill was attached at the bottom of the cup. But, the ten minutes we shared were solid. Both of us have been industry folk in racing. He is about ready […]
