If you haven’t yet read about this, then I’d advise you NOT to … because, as much as I believe in “looking things in the face and knowing them for what they are” [Marcus Aurelius] … this might be one instance wherein ignorance would be best.

Just catching up on things from Saturday;
NCTS: Dennis Setzer won the race in Martinsville for Bobby Hamilton Racing. I understand Rowdy Bush made the highlight reel for his efforts. First timer, Chrissie Wallace finished 17th on the lead lap. A commendable effort for her first NCTS entry. Smoke was on the pit box calling the race while [...]
Well … if imitation is the greatest form of flattery, then consider NASCAR flattered … ahem.

Vanguard had a three-year agreement with Team Gordon to sponsor his Dakar efforts through 2010 [...] But the Amaury Sports Organization canceled the event the day before its Jan. 5 start because of “direct” threats of terrorism from al-Qaida-linked militants, and Gordon was outspoken in his belief that at least a portion of the 16-day [...]
I’m sorry — but I needed to lighten UP today, and Mike Hembree helped me out with a slightly amusing look at the dangers of attending a Martinsville race … or, any NASCAR race, really:
