Classic Car News
Specialist Thunderbird firm
Image: Sicnag, 2012
The Ford Thunderbird has a long and iconic history, dating back to its first arrival in the mid 1950s. While it may have been discontinued after 11 generations in 2005, it remains fondly remembered and various iterations are recognised as classics.
You might imagine that acquiring parts for the older examples of the Thunderbird would be difficult, given that it has been so many decades since production ceased and the range evolved. However, thanks to a company in the small town of Coshocton, Ohio, there are plenty of spares to help enthusiasts during their Thunderbird restoration projects.
The Coshocton Tribune reports that CASCO began life by catering to Ford Thunderbird models built between 1955 and 1957, before expanding its operations to include a wider range of automotive components, targeted at the classic market.
As well as building its own parts for classic cars, CASCO stocks a variety of third party products which are perfect for people who need to keep their Thunderbird in top shape.
This kind of specialism might seem like it caters to a very small niche, but companies like this are vital to supporting the classic car scene and help to preserve vintage American autos.

Conversions Raise Tensions in Middle East
May 31st, 2013 - International News
ASSIUT, Egypt (AP) — Two crime cases in southern Egypt illustrate the tensions surrounding religious conversions in Egyptian society.
In one case, an Egyptian Christian man stabbed his wife after she converted to Islam with the support of hard-line Islamists. Then after surrendering to police, he died in mysterious circumstances, falling from a court building window.
At about the same time, a Muslim woman in another small village converted to Christianity and eloped with a Christian man. A crowd of Muslims attacked the local church in outrage. None of the attackers were prosecuted, but police arrested the Christian man's family.
That case became a national issue as angry Islamist lawmakers in parliament dedicated a whole committee session to demanding the conversion be stopped and decrying an alleged foreign plot to convert Muslims.
Christians say politically powerful Islamist hard-liners have stepped up efforts to convert Christians to Islam. Meanwhile, the rare cases of Muslims turning to Christianity often bring violence against their community. In either case, authorities tend to turn a blind eye.

About Cruise Critic Star Ratings
Editor's note: Seabourn Pride was sold to Windstar in February 2013, and has been renamed Star Pride. It will enter service as a Windstar ship in May 2014.
Service has been a hallmark of the Seabourn Pride (and sister ships Seabourn Legend and Seabourn Spirit) and we're happy to report that, on our sailing, it was superb. You'll feel like Norm on "Cheers" -- everyone knows your name (though of course the crew will address you properly, not by your first name but by Mr., Mrs., Miss or Ms.). Everyone has a friendly smile and is ready to offer a helpful hand, or arm (women are escorted to their seats in the dining room on the arms of particularly handsome waiters).
Request a double espresso one night, and you'll get one every night, even if you change tables. Request a certain brand of vodka, and the bartender is likely to remember your preference. In fact, guests get such a high level of European-style service on this 208-passenger ultra-luxury ship that the somewhat rare complaint might strike you as surreal: Huffed one passenger sitting in the Veranda Cafe on our cruise, "the coffee pot is constantly there after you take a sip or two!"
As well, the crew exhibits a delightful sense of humor and a real sense of pride. Our traveler took a pre-dinner bath without requesting one of the line's complimentary specialty aromatherapy bath products. When she returned to her cabin after dinner a bottle of fancy bubble bath was propped on her pillow as a reminder.
And when the crew does make a mistake -- dessert service ran into showtime for one table on our cruise -- the hotel director is likely to go out of his way to make it up to the passengers (in this case serving dessert to the passengers in the show lounge and then sending a bottle of good champagne and an elaborate letter of apology to the passengers' cabins).
Beyond service, the ambiance is classically elegant on Seabourn Pride -- much more "old money" than "Hollywood flash." All cabins are comfortable and sedate suites. Public rooms are comfortably elegant but not terribly memorable. Onboard activities are very limited, so passengers entertain themselves with quiet pursuits. Conversation is very easily a highlight; since these passengers tend to be a well-traveled bunch, topics come easily.
Other highlights of the Seabourn experience? The champagne flows freely and caviar is on the house (though portions have gotten smaller, so if you're big on caviar, ask for double). It's one of cruising's most all-inclusive experiences, with freebies like a welcome bottle of champagne, an in-suite bar set up (with full bottles of your pre-selected booze), and nearly all drinks (you pay extra only for premium brands). You also get decent wines with lunch and dinner, and tips for the crew are included in your cruise fare. Free mini massages are offered poolside on sunny days and there's no extra fee for a Pilates class or wine-tasting seminar.
If there's a downside to the Seabourn experience (all three ships in the fleet are virtually identical) -- and a possible hindrance to competing with other five-star lines that have more recently built ships -- it would be the onboard decor. Public rooms, such as The Club, the ship's main gathering spot, are simply bland. Staterooms are comfortable but lack more -- and increasingly important -- contemporary amenities, such as bathrooms with separate tub and shower.
However, the ambiance is so comfortable -- and the service so spectacular -- that you really won't notice decor all that much.
Dinner is a nightly event, served with much pomp and circumstance in The Restaurant, the ship's main venue. The decor is simple, but you hardly notice when you get wrapped up in conversations and enjoy the sometimes-extraordinary cuisine. The style is open seating -- you can dine with whomever you choose or ask the maitre d' to choose your companions for the evening (a big bonus for single travelers; you'll always have someone to dine with). Each night, several tables are hosted by senior officers or other top crew members (if you sit with the Norwegian captain be prepared to do shots of aquavit and to shout "Skoal!"). Complimentary wine is poured freely (if you're not a big drinker, watch out as the waiters tend to fill your glass when you're not looking).
Multi-course menus feature both old favorites and the types of creative items you might see whipped up on "Iron Chef." You might start with a mousseline of chicken liver with sauterne jelly, grilled pear salad and toasted brioche; follow that with duck confit and frisee salad with sherry shallot dressing; enjoy an entree of cumin-and-coriander-crusted grouper with sweet carrot juice and Chinese parsley; then top that off with some lavish dessert (ice cream is homemade), and post-dessert Petit Fours. More care seemed to go into appetizers and desserts than entrees on sailing -- but if something is not to your liking feel free to send it back. The menu always includes a chef's selection, a lighter fare offering, and a vegetarian option. For those who prefer simpler fare, a "Classic Menu," available nightly, offers steaks, chops and an excellent Caesar salad.
Passengers tend to dress up a little for dinner (and lavishly on formal nights); Seabourn, aware that some people don't want to do that, now offers alternative dining nightly in the reservations-required Veranda Cafe. The meals here are either themed (such as French, Mediterranean, and Surf-and-Turf) or small-plates tasting menus and are less fussy than what's served in the dining room (although still very satisfying). For the ultimate in romance (or seclusion, depending on how you look at it), passengers can order in-cabin dinner from The Restaurant menu. A waiter will bring what you order, course by course.
Breakfast and lunch are available from room service, in The Restaurant and at the Veranda Cafe. Compared to dinner they are pretty standard affairs. While the Cafe used to operate like a buffet, Seabourn is moving away from that. There is a small fixed menu and a buffet-like display of items (such as a variety of meats and salads at lunch). The way it works now, you order off the menu or go to the display and point, and the waiters serve you. A true high point at lunch is the burgers, really the best at sea. We asked what kind of beef they use and were told ground filet. No wonder they're so yummy! And the fries are pretty good too.
For those who aren't napping, a scrumptious afternoon tea is served each day in the Constellation Lounge.
Public Rooms
The Pride is a comfortable vessel, small enough that you get to know every nook and cranny. But don't go looking for anything exciting. The Club is the one place where people really hang out at night (the small casino is in a walled-off area adjacent).
The Constellation Lounge is your typical observation lounge with floor-to-ceiling, forward-facing windows. The space is underused (it is open for Early Risers breakfast, afternoon tea and the occasional activity, but is usually closed at night), but is a nice space when you want to go and stare at the sea. The Show Lounge is big enough to hold all passengers at once and has tables for drinks. The ship also has a small computer room with e-mail access, card room, small boutique (more utilitarian than enticing) and a small library/video room with music CD's and books-on-disk. Public bathrooms have cloth towels, a nice touch.
All cabins are suites and offer ocean views, mostly through picture windows. French balconies on 36 suites have glass doors that open, so you can let in the fresh air (you can also step out about a foot and a half).
Standard suites are a generous 277 square ft. and have small walk-in closets, large marble bathrooms with double sinks and a tub/shower, hair dryers, lighted vanities, terry robes and slippers, personalized stationary, a bottle of champagne on arrival, a complimentary bar setup, fresh fruit (replenished daily), a small sofa, a coffee table, which can be raised for in-suite dining, and beds, which convert from twin to queen and are covered with light fluffy down duvets and pillows.
There are also six larger classic suites and owners' suites with small private verandahs (the owners' suites also come with dining rooms and powder rooms). And there are four suites that can be combined to make two doubles.
The decor is simple; some might say boring. Blues and tans dominate, and there are lots of mirrors and lots of lights (which can be annoying if you can't find the right switch). Little surprises make the experience special, though, in our case chocolates left at turndown along with roses, rose petals, towels shaped like animals (did Seabourn learn this from Carnival?) and other surprises.
Toiletries are the very exquisite, British-based Molton Brown, but if that's not good enough passengers can choose from a selection of additional designer soaps. You can also choose from a menu of aromatherapy bath salts and bubble baths, and have your room steward draw you a bath (it will make you feel like a millionaire).
All suites now have flat screen televisions and DVD players. On television, channels include a couple of in-house movie channels (the schedule is printed in your daily bulletin), a channel replaying shipboard lectures, CNN, and whatever can be picked up locally.
You can listen to CD's on your cabin's Bose Wave sound system (although don't trust the clocks on the Bose units, as due to fluctuation's in the ship's electrical current the time is almost always off; there are printed notes in the cabin warning of this).
Some people like to entertain in their cabins (you already have the bar set up, after all), and room service is happy to provide canapes and/or caviar.
Seabourn has a bit of a soundproofing problem. The cabin, closet and bathroom doors tend to slam and you may hear your neighbor open and close his or her drawers too. Annoying to some, we've heard reports of fistfights breaking out over slammed doors. That's why several times during your cruise you may receive a note reminding you to slowly and quietly open doors and drawers.
Tips are included in the cost of the cruise.
Fitness and Recreation
Like its sister ships, the Seabourn Pride is fitted with a water sports marina that can be lowered when the ship is at anchor and is equipped with windsurfers, sail boats, Zodiacs, water skis, a banana boat and snorkeling equipment. In the center of the marina is a steel mesh cage that forms a swimming pool.
The ship also has a small, oddly placed swimming pool on its top deck (it is in a shaded area in the center of the ship and there is no seating around it) as well as three whirlpools (including one hidden in the prow that couples can reserve for a romantic evening complete with champagne and caviar). Via the line's "Massage Moments" program, free mini-massages are sometimes available on the Sun Deck.
The Sun Deck is separate from the pool, but there are plenty of cushioned deck chairs there and they are popular on sunny days. Fitness facilities include workout, steam and treatment rooms, and a beauty salon. Because space is tight in the gym, exercise classes are held in The Club. Fitness classes not only include the now-typical Yoga, Pilates, and Stronger Abs but also the Chinese body movements known as Chi Kung (which literally means "energy work").
Seabourn Pride is more appropriate for adults than families. However, the increased number of one-week cruises and a spate of discounts have attracted a younger crowd including families (sometimes multi-generational). The cruise staff tries to accommodate kids by arranging a least a few activities when there are a number onboard, such as a treasure hunt or group showing of a kids' movie. Still, we wouldn't recommend the vessel for any but the best-behaved kids (and having the nanny along is probably a good idea).
Fellow Passengers
Mostly American, wealthy, well-mannered and well traveled. The average age depends on the cruising region but usually ranges from late 40s to late 60s (shorter, sunnier cruises get younger passengers, longer, cold-weather cruises get older passengers). This is not a party-hearty crowd, and late night bar goers will really get to know each other because there aren't that many of us. Passengers tend to be loyal to Seabourn; half may be repeaters.
Dress Code
Seabourn passengers generally like to dress up. There are two formal nights on weeklong cruises and three on 14-day sailings. On these nights, many men wear tuxedos, but dark suits are acceptable. Women wear fancy cocktail dresses or ball gowns. Other nights are casually elegant (jacket for men, but tie optional; nice outfit for women), or casual (no jacket for men; sundress or slacks for women). For those who don't like formal nights, the Veranda Cafe offers a casually elegant alternative.
Seabourn has made efforts to improve entertainment and it shows. The stage in the show lounge is small, but just right for big voices, and you can expect resident singers (one doubling as the cruise director) performing solo cabaret acts and Broadway show tunes there. The line is investing in visiting performers too. A our sailing featured Dale Gonyea, a Grammy nominated comedian/songwriter, and magician Craig Diamond. Also onboard were a four-piece orchestra/dance band and a piano player/singer duo.
On select Mediterranean cruises the line is introducing opera, to be performed by the U.K.'s Reduced Opera Company. Other offerings included movie afternoons and nights, and game show events ("Name That Tune" and "Liar's Club" were big hits with the playfully competitive crowd).
During the day, most passengers are happy to entertain themselves with a good book or conversation, and on port days they want to be out exploring. But there are a few scheduled activities on sea days, including talks by guest lecturers (professors, statesmen, authors or stars of stage and screen). Cooking demonstrations, sometimes with visiting chefs, are quite popular, and there are also wine tastings, bridge play, team Trivial Pursuit contests and golf putting competitions.
Shore excursions offered by the ship tended toward the pricey but were way beyond average. On our voyage, a U.S. (eastern) coastal voyage, a low-country food expert took guests around Charleston, and an expert on shrimp offered a tour from Port Canaveral that was one of the most fascinating we've experienced.
Seabourn also offers a complimentary shore excursion program, with one free shore-side event on each sailing; you have to sign up and get tickets. These events are often a highlight of the cruise, and have included, for example, a visit to a private villa in Malta, a glass-roofed canal boat ride in Amsterdam or an outdoor folkloric dance performance in Nafplion, Greece.

Kate Upton graces the cover of Sports Illustrated's annual swimsuit issue, barely suited up in Antarctica's early spring weather of about 24 degrees Fahrenheit. (With wind chill, it felt like minus 20 degrees).
Upton doesn't show any signs of goose bumps in the pictures. She no doubt got the chilliest assignment of the 17 models who posed for this year's swimsuit issue on seven continents.
Those logistics are the work of Sports Illustrated's senior editor for the swimsuit issue, MJ Day, and her team, who spend most of the year on the road shooting. For this year's 50th annual issue, years of negotiating visas and access paid off in shots on each of the world's seven continents. (Sports Illustrated, like CNN, is a division of Time Warner.)
Antarctica was "the 'Hail Mary' pass of our year," said Day, using perhaps the only sports metaphor applicable to the issue, on newsstands Feb. 12. "I could have had a blizzard. Kate could have had shivering fits you could not shoot around. (Instead) we had six days of perfect weather."
Day packed coats and wool socks for that trip in addition to the items more typically in her travel bags: Some 500 to 800 bathing suits, double stick tape, clothespins, safety pins, binder clips, liners from the cups of bathing suits (for use as knee pads), suntan lotion, bug spray and flip-flops.
While Day is a veteran road warrior traveling to many places most people will never see, even she was taken by her adventures this past year. Here are Day's favorite spots from her year's travels on each of the continents.
Antarctica: Kodak Alley
The Sports Illustrated team traveled to Antarctica in early December (early spring on the frozen continent) on the Abercrombie & Kent ship Le Boreal, enjoying a rare "six-day stretch of perfect weather" on the journey from Tierra del Fuego.
"Antarctica was my favorite place on Earth," said Day. "I'm one of the most jaded travelers you will ever meet, but the whole thing was a religious experience. Spend your money. It's worth it."
On the journey, they crossed a channel called Kodak Alley, where twilight arrived around midnight. "The sun sets in a shade of orange and mountains turn pink -- not a hint of pink, but as if someone poured pink paint over the mountains. You can't sleep because it's too awe-inspiring. Sleeping is not important. Seeing this is."
The photographer could only shoot Upton outside for a couple of minutes at a time before the crew, all bundled from head to toe, would rush to put heating pads in her bathing suit and cover her with electric warming coats.
"The entire crew surprised her the last day of her (six-day) shoot wearing bathing suits as a sign of support and thanks," said Day. "I was probably in my suit for five minutes and went so numb."
Africa: Wolwedans, NamibRand Nature Reserve, Namibia
Wolwedans is a group of lodges and camps that are part of the privately held NamibRand Nature Reserve in the southwest Namib Desert.
"I've been to sandy places such as Tunisia and the Sahara and seen those endless dunes, but the dunes here were the most intense shade of red I've ever seen in my life," said Day. "The sand in Namibia has such a high iron content. As the iron oxidizes, the redder it becomes. The further inland you go, the redder the sand gets: white to orange to insane red."
The Wolwedans runs on solar power, which means no sounds of generators to disturb the natural beauty. The lodge grows some of its own food and runs in partnership with a culinary school, "so the food is incredible, really wholesome, delicious and natural. You feel like 'I'm living and I'm living right.'"
"The level of quiet you experience is surreal. This is the perfect place to go to when you need to rest your soul."
Asia: Dragon's Backbone Rice Terraces, China
It took more than two years to negotiate the visas to get into China to shoot, and Day wasn't sure it would ever happen.
The shoot came to life at Dragon's Backbone Rice Terraces, an 800-year-old terraced rice paddy built into the mountains in Guangxi Province.
"It's the most ethereal, beautiful, surprising place on Earth to me," said Day. "These incredibly distinctive mountains were like what kids draw, up and down and up down. They were incredibly green, rich, lush and misty in the mornings."
The hike is so strenuous up the mountain stairs that many visitors hire the local Yao women to act as guides. The women of the Yao ethnic minority group, who are known for their brightly colored clothing and long hair styled atop their heads, helped the crew haul equipment for the shoots at the bottom and top of the hike, and at points along the way.
Australia: Whitehaven Beach, Whitsunday Island
It takes a lot for a beach to impress Day, who is not impressed by the backdrop that most beaches have to offer a photo shoot.
Whitehaven Beach also wasn't an easy spot for a shoot: It takes a 20-minute seaplane ride or longer boat ride to get there, and there weren't any amenities. (Just a handful of the 74 islands known as the Whitsundays have accommodations.) So the team stayed on nearby Hayman Island, another one of the Whitsunday islands and took off at first light for two days of shooting on the white sand silica beach.

Can Technology Play a Role in Drafting a Constitution?
The effects that new technologies can have on constitutional processes was the topic of this November 22nd IPI roundtable discussion. Approximately five new constitutions are written around the world every year, and their legitimacy is increasingly influenced by a new level of public participation in their drafting, not merely by a plebiscite on the final text. As rapidly advancing technology changes the way that governments and citizens interact, what role are new technologies playing in constitutions?

Brand new 'Toy'? Theravance, GSK: Breo positive in asthma

LabelThis composition is an early work from Willem de Kooning's long sequence of paintings of women that culminated in one of the most aggressive revisions of the female figure in the history of art. Began as a study for a commissioned portrait that the artist never completed, the portrait served as a vehicle for de Kooning to explore his ongoing interest in amalgamating figurative subjects with the pictorial concerns of abstraction. While the willful anatomical distortions reflect the influence of Pablo Picasso, the seated figure also recalls the sensuous women painted by the nineteenth-century French artist Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, with their tightly fitted bodices and delicate features.Social Tags [?]abstract expressionism [x] abstraction [x] action painting [x] assorted palette [x] bow [x] chair [x] color transparency [x] dress [x] impasto [x] liquid brushwork [x] organic [x] portraiture [x] scale [x] seated woman [x] table [x] triangle [x] woman series [x] [Add Your Own Tags]* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons.

Obama campaign team takes on new goal
Group lobbies Americas about fiscal cliff
Obama for America, the name of the president's re-election campaign, is already at work in an adjusted role as a policy advocate for President Barack Obama's second term.
Those on the campaign email list likely received a message Wednesday from the group, explaining the consequences of the so-called fiscal cliff and the president's plan in the ongoing negotiations to avert the economic disaster.
The email opens up with large font at the top saying, "You should forward this."
Using a series of graphics, the email then says Obama's proposal would extend tax cuts for 98% of Americans, eliminate tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans, and cut spending by more than $3 trillion.
"There's a lot at stake. With your help we'll continue to move this country forward," the email states.
Wednesday's message comes days after Obama's former campaign manager, Jim Messina, asked supporters on Sunday for feedback on how to turn the campaign into a messenger for the president's agenda.
At an event in Washington on Tuesday, Messina made it clear that the grassroots organization would be kept alive but insisted the campaign structure won't be handed over to the next Democratic presidential nominee, saying "this organization was built for people who supported this president."
Four years ago the 2008 Obama campaign's grassroots network was kept alive in a limited fashion, and in January 2009 it was transformed into Organizing for America and folded into the Democratic National Committee, where it faced some criticism for not using its resources to better push the president's goals.
The 2012 Obama for America re-election campaign was launched in April 2011. Messina said this time the campaign won't immediately turn over the grassroots operation to the DNC, but he also added that unlike four years ago the grassroots structure won't be severely curtailed.

Leather Town Gloves
Handmade in the UK, these classically styled all-weather cycling gloves are cut from the finest African hair sheep leather. African hair sheep live on the arid savannah of Eastern Africa, to cope with the heat and dry conditions, the hair sheep have extremely thin but strong skin. Therefore the gloves are highly durable and the leather will improve with age, becoming even more comfortable as they shape to your hands.
The gloves include numerous technical features, including Rapha's signature military-grade padding in the palms for improved shock absorption and better control on the bike. The inside of the glove has a lining which is excellent at wicking moisture to keep your hands dry and warm and is also odour resistant. A single strap with a popper keeps the gloves snug at the wrist.

NASCAR Announces Modifications To NASCAR Hall Of Fame Eligibility And Selection Process
posted by Mike Neff
Thursday December 5, 2013
The Sanctioning Body Also Creates New Award For Outstanding Contributions DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Dec. 5, 2013) – NASCAR today announced a number of changes to the selection process for the NASCAR Hall of Fame (NHOF), including a modification to driver eligibility parameters and the creation of a new award to honor significant contributions to the growth and success of the sport. In all, six changes and updates will be made starting with the selection of the Class of 2015 – all designed to improve upon an already strong process that has led to the selection of 25 deserving inductees. "We're very proud of how the NASCAR Hall of Fame has evolved and believe the first five classes reflect the strength of the nominating and voting procedures, with voices from every corner of our industry included in the selection process," said Brett Jewkes, NASCAR vice president and chief communications officer. "Based on feedback from voters, industry leaders, media who cover our sport and the fans, we believe the changes announced today are a strong recognition of the uniqueness of our sport and will make the overall selection process even stronger in how we honor those who have driven NASCAR to great success on and off the track." Following is a summary of changes: Driver Eligibility Currently, drivers who have competed in NASCAR for at least 10 years and been retired for three years are eligible for nomination to the NHOF. That will not change. Moving forward, however, drivers who have competed for a minimum of 10 years and reached their 55th birthday on or before Dec. 31 of the year prior to the nominating year are immediately eligible for the NHOF. Also, any competitor who has competed for 30 or more years in NASCAR competition by Dec. 31 of the year prior to the nominating year is automatically eligible, regardless of age. Drivers may continue to compete after reaching any of the aforementioned milestones without compromising eligibility for nomination or induction. Nominating Committee Will Select Five Fewer Nominees for Enshrinement Throughout its history, the NHOF Nominating Committee has selected 25 nominees each year to be discussed and voted on for NHOF enshrinement. That number will be reduced to 20 starting with the selection process for the 2015 class. Landmark Award for Outstanding Contributions to NASCAR Beginning with the 2015 class, a new award – Landmark Award for Outstanding Contributions to NASCAR – will be initiated to honor significant contributions to the growth and esteem of NASCAR. Potential Landmark Award recipients could include competitors or those working in the sport as a member of a racing organization, track facility, race team, sponsor, media partner or being a general ambassador for the sport through a professional or non-professional role. Award winners will remain eligible for NHOF enshrinement. Five nominees will be selected by the NHOF Nominating Committee and then be voted on by the Voting Panel. To win the award, an individual must appear on at least 60 percent of the ballots and no more than one award will be presented annually. Voting for this award will occur immediately following the voting for the NHOF class and be monitored by the same independent accounting firm that oversees NHOF voting. Nominating Committee to Meet, Vote on 20 NHOF Nominees / Five Landmark Award Nominees For the first time, the Nominating Committee will meet in person to discuss, debate and vote to create two ballots – the NHOF ballot and the Landmark Award for Outstanding Contributions to NASCAR ballot. Previously, the committee submitted nominees via mail to an independent accounting firm that tallies the nominations in order to create the final NHOF ballot. The Nominating Committee will meet during Speedweeks at Daytona on Friday, Feb. 21, 2014, and the nominees for both ballots will be announced later that day. Nominees To Be Recused From the Nominating / Voting Process Any member of the Nominating Committee or Voting Panel who appeared on the previous year's ballot or current year's ballot will now be recused from participating in the nominating and / or voting process for as long as he / she appears on the ballot. If an individual who is currently on the Nominating Committee or Voting Panel is inducted, or is no longer included on a final ballot, he or she is immediately reinstated to active participation on the panel(s). Reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion Added To Voting Panel As was already announced on Nov. 14 at Homestead-Miami Speedway during the annual NASCAR Championship Contenders Press Conference, the reigning NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion will be added to the following year's voting panel. That means Jimmie Johnson, who captured his sixth NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship, will be included in the selection meeting and can cast a vote for the NHOF Class of 2015 on Voting Day, Wednesday, May 21, 2014.
NASCAR Purchases Iowa Speedway

Wednesday November 27, 2013
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Nov. 27, 2013) – In a strategic move designed to expand its commitment to enhancing event experiences and fan engagement, as well as solidify the future of one of the premier racing and entertainment facilities in the Midwest, NASCAR announced today that it has purchased Iowa Speedway. The agreement, finalized today under a wholly-owned subsidiary, Iowa Speedway, LLC, is effective immediately. "Iowa Speedway is a great entertainment facility with a very bright future," said Eric Nyquist, NASCAR vice president, strategic development. "The facility has the support of the region, it's positioned well in the heart of the Midwest, and year in and year out it provides great short-track racing action for motorsports fans. "NASCAR ownership will allow us to draw on the entire resources of our company. It also provides us with the opportunity to execute first-hand a number of entertainment ideas and engagement opportunities with fans – much of which we have outlined repeatedly as the core of our Industry Action Plan." The facility, located 30 miles east of Des Moines in Newton, features a fast, .875-mile asphalt paved tri-oval designed by NASCAR Hall of Famer Rusty Wallace. The Speedway released its 2014 schedule earlier this month, encompassing three weekends, one each in May, July and August. The schedule will include two NASCAR Nationwide Series races, a combination NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and IndyCar Series weekend, plus two additional NASCAR K&N Pro Series support races. NASCAR has no plans for Iowa Speedway to host a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race next year or in the immediate future. NASCAR will host a special event in Des Moines on Thursday, Dec. 12, to outline additional details on the purchase and plans for the future. Information on this event will be announced soon. The 2014 Iowa Speedway season opens May 17-18, with the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East versus West Challenge on Saturday night. The stars and cars of the NASCAR Nationwide Series then will battle on Sunday in a 250-lap, high-speed contest. The race marks the only Sunday afternoon event of the season at Iowa Speedway. The new NASCAR Camping World Truck Series / IndyCar Series race weekend at Iowa Speedway is slated for July 11-12. The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will race Friday night and feature short-track racing action that has become synonymous with the series in the American Ethanol 200. The first-ever Iowa Corn Indy 300 will follow on Saturday night. On Friday, Aug. 1, a second NASCAR K&N Pro Series East versus West challenge race will be held followed by a second NASCAR Nationwide Series 250-lap event on Saturday under the lights. Season ticket holders may renew their tickets for the 2014 season, and will have an exclusive right to secure their current seats until Dec. 14. All other seats are available for purchase immediately, with season ticket prices starting at $95. All season tickets will include a guaranteed seat location, complimentary Casey's Fan Walk pass and an opportunity to participate in pre-race ceremonies. Season tickets, parking passes and onsite camping options are available online at www.iowaspeedway.com, or by calling the toll-free ticketing hotline, 866-RUSTY-GO (787-8946). Iowa Speedway's ticketing office, located at 3333 Rusty Wallace Drive in Newton, also will be open to assist customers from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, holidays excepted. 2014 IOWA SPEEDWAY EVENT SCHEDULE Saturday, May 17 – NASCAR K&N Pro Series East vs. West Challenge Friday, July 11 – American Ethanol 200, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Friday, August 1 – NASCAR K&N Pro Series East vs. West Challenge
Stewart-Haas Racing announces reorganization of their Competition Department
posted by Mike Neff
Tuesday November 19, 2013
Stewart-Haas Racing is expanding to four teams in the Sprint Cup series for 2014. As a result, the organization is realigning some personnel into new roles within their competition department. The new assignments for 2014 include: 1) Greg Zipadelli has been named Vice President of Competition and will oversee all four Sprint Cup teams. The crew chiefs of the teams will report directly to Zipadelli. 2) Matt Borland has been named Vice President of Engineering. The role will involve Borland overseeing the organization's technical initiatives and a myriad of research and development projects. As Borland moves into his new role he will become a mentor for the crew chief of the No. 41 Haas Automation team of Kurt Busch. 3) Race Engineer Daniel Knost is being promote to the position of Crew Chief for Busch's No. 41 Haas Automation Chevrolet. Knost is an engineer with a Master of Science and PHD in Mechanical Engineering from VPI and Virginia Tech. Knost's previous roles at SHR included running the team's seven-post shaker rig, at-track race simulation support and race engineer for both the No. 10 and No. 39 teams. 4) Chad Johnston is going to take over the Crew Chief position for Tony Stewart's No. 14. Johnston has spent the last three years as Martin Truex Jr.'s Crew Chief at Michael Waltrip Racing. Johnston brings Hoosier roots to the organization like Stewart. He is a graduate of Indiana State University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. 5) The Crew Chief for Kevin Harvick's No. 4 ride in 2014 will be Rodney Childers. Childers moved to SHR in October of 2013 from MWR where he was a Crew Chief for the No. 00 David Reutimann and then the No. 55 for multiple drivers. Childers Crew Chief resume extends back to 2005 when he was the head wrench for MB2/MBV Motorsports with Scott Riggs. 6) Tony Gibson will remain on top of the pit box for Danica Patrick in the No. 10 car for 2014. Steve Addington is leaving SHR for other opportunities. The word is he will be the Crew Chief for the No. 51, working with his good friend Kevin 'Bono' Manion.
2011 Daytona 500 Champion Trevor Bayne Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis
posted by Mike Neff
Tuesday November 12, 2013
Daytona 500 winner and Roush Fenway Racing (RFR) driver Trevor Bayne has announced today that he has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Bayne – 22 years old – has undergone extensive testing at the Mayo Clinic and has been cleared by doctors and NASCAR to compete behind the wheel. "I've never been more driven to compete," said Bayne. "My goals are the same as they've been since I started racing. I want to compete at the highest level and I want to win races and championships. I am in the best shape I've ever been in and I feel good," added Bayne. "There are currently no symptoms and I'm committed to continuing to take the best care of my body as possible. I will continue to trust in God daily and know that His plan for me is what is best." In 2011, Bayne became the youngest driver in NASCAR history to win the famed Daytona 500. He is currently sixth in the NNS standings, having accumulated one win, six top-five and 20 top-10 finishes in 2013. He will compete again full-time for the NNS championship in 2014, driving the No. 6 AdvoCare Ford Mustang. In 117 career Nationwide Series races Bayne has two wins, 18 top 5s and 50 top 10s with six poles. Bayne also has 45 career Sprint Cup series starts. In those starts he has the one win in the 2011 Daytona 500, one top 5 and three top 10s. Multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable disease of the central nervous system which interrupts the flow of information within the brain and between the brain and the rest of the body. Symptoms range from reduced or lost mobility to numbness and tingling to blindness and, in extreme cases, paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, and each person diagnosed with MS experiences the disease in a unique way.
Penalties Issued Following Sledgehammer Throw
posted by Phil Allaway
Thursday October 31, 2013
Last Saturday's Kroger 200 at Martinsville Speedway will likely be best known for Darrell Wallace, Jr.'s historic victory. However, late in the race, a crash involving Ty Dillon and Kevin Harvick, along with the pit road actions afterward, also made headlines. Dillon got in the back of Harvick in Turn 2, spinning the Sprint Cup regular out, who then ran into the driver of the No. 3 Chevrolet. Dillon then responded with a number of unsuccessful attempts to spin out Harvick. When both drivers got to pit road, Harvick blocked Dillon's stall and threw down his window net, prompting a scrum where a sledgehammer was thrown by a member of Dillon's team at Harvick's truck. On Friday morning, NASCAR responded with penalties stemming from the pit road altercation. Marcus Richmond, crew chief of the No. 3 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet, has been fined $10,000 for failing to maintain control of his crew. Meanwhile, crewmember Adam Brown was judged by NASCAR to be the person who three the sledgehammer at Harvick and was suspended indefinitely. In their press release, NASCAR cited violations of multiple sections of the 2013 Camping World Truck Series Rule Book. The sections cited were 12-1 (Actions Detrimental to Stock Car Racing) and 9-4A (Crew chief resumes responsibility for the actions of his driver, team owner, and team members in addition to himself). There is no word as of yet from Richard Childress Racing as to whether they plan to appeal the penalties.
Marcos Ambrose to have new sponsor for Dover Cup race in September
posted by Mike Neff
Tuesday October 29, 2013
The current economic environment has seen sponsors cutting back and even leaving the sport. Richard Petty Motorsports announced on Tuesday evening that they will have a new sponsor on the hood for the Dover Cup race and an associate sponsor for half of the season. Stanley and their associated brands Mac and Dewalt will also be back for 2014 on the No. 9 Ford for Marcos Ambrose. Brian Moffitt, the CEO of Richard Petty Motorsports noted that the company is willing to run an alcohol sponsor on the No. 9 but will never do it on the No. 43. "Richard promised his parents that he'd never run an alcohol or tobacco sponsor on his car and that will hold true as long as we're an organization." When he was asked about how this came about he said, "This just kind of happened. There are relationships out there in the marketplace that are always talking with each other. We ended up going to Boston and having a discussion with the company and the next thing you know we are partners." Twisted Tea is a division of Boston Beer Company, most famous for the Samuel Adams beer brand. Jon London, the Boston Beer Director of Brand Development was on hand and loves the marriage between Twisted Tea's customers and NASCAR. "We look at NASCAR and think that they, along with Marcos Ambrose, are just a great fit for the brand. Our drinkers love NASCAR and Marcos is a little bit different, our drinkers are a little different and Marcos is a lot of fun so he's a great person to represent our brand." Moffitt also confirms that, while there are a few openings left on the 2014 calendar for RPM, both Ambrose and Aric Almirola will be back in 2014 and should have all of their races covered by the start of the season.
Darrell Wallace Jr. Scores Significant Victory at Martinsville
posted by Mike Neff
Saturday October 26, 2013
Darrell Wallace, Jr. etched his name in the NASCAR history book under two different columns on Saturday at Martinsville Speedway. Wallace took the checkered flag first to become the second African-American driver in the history of NASCAR to win a National touring series race, and the first to win a Truck Series race. He is also the second graduate of NASCAR's Drive for Diversity to win a national touring race, following Kyle Larson's victory at Rockingham Speedway earlier this season. Wallace led a race-high 96 laps en route to his win. He led three times including the final 50 laps. Wallace outran Brendan Gaughan, Jeb Burton, Ben Kennedy and Ryan Blaney to secure his win. The average age of the top 5 at Martinsville was 23.8 with four of the five drivers being under 22 years of age. Wallace is the second non-Cup driver to win in a Kyle Busch Motorsports truck following Brian Scott's win at Phoenix last season.
Hamlin Picks Up a Pair of Poles in Martinsville

Friday October 25, 2013
Denny Hamlin will start on the pole for Sunday's Goody's Headache Relief Shot 500 at Martinsville Speedway after setting a new track record with a lap time of 19.013 seconds, good for a speed of 99.595 MPH. Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch ran identical second-place times of 190.61 seconds. Johnson will start on the front row after winning the tie-breaker, car owner points, where Johnson currently sits first. Busch will start third, and Matt Kenseth and Clint Bowyer round out the top 5. Joey Logano, Jamie McMurray, David Ragan, Jeff Gordon and Kevin Harvick complete the top 10. The pole is Hamlin's 17th in 288 races. It's also his fifth of 2013, a career-best for Hamlin, whose season was interrupted by a back injury earlier in the year. In all, 18 drivers broke the previous track record, set in the spring race this year by Johnson. Bowyer broke the 100 MPH mark in practice, but no driver was able to duplicate that in time trials. The Sprint Cup drivers will have a pair of practice sessions on Saturday before Sunday's 500-lap event. Seven Chase drivers qualified inside the top 10, and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Carl Edwards clocked in in 12th and 14th, respectively. Other Chase drivers include Ryan Newman (17th), Kasey Kahne (25th), and Greg Biffle (33rd). Hamlin wasn't done after his Sprint Cup qualifying effort. NASCAR Camping World Truck Series drivers took their time trials after the Cup teams had their shot, and Hamlin duplicated his earlier effort, snagging the pole for the Kroger 250 in the No. 51 Kyle Busch Motorsports entry. Johnny Sauter, Darrell Wallace, Jr., Ron Hornaday, Jr., and Ty Dillon round out the top 5 for Saturday's race.

Tweet Lands Another Driver In Trouble

Thursday October 24, 2013
NASCAR announced on Wednesday that Corey LaJoie has been placed on probation after posting an inappropriate tweet on Twitter last week. He will have to attend sensitivity training as prescribed by NASCAR. In their statement, NASCAR stated that LaJoie is being penalized for "an insensitive and intolerable communication" posted on Twitter on October 15. The tweet, which has since been deleted, suggested that the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) should conduct a cavity search on a man wearing a turban. Wednesday afternoon, LaJoie tweeted out a statement. "I am very sorry for those offended by my recent remark," LaJoie tweeted. "It was an immature & insensitive comment. I am upset with myself and how this has affected what has been a very positive year in my career." This incident marks the second time this season that NASCAR has penalized a driver for comments on social media. Earlier this season, Nelson Piquet, Jr. was forced to attend sensitivity training after using a homophobic slur in the comments section of an Instagram picture that Parker Kligerman posted.

TweetThat's History! NASCAR's Checkered (Flag) Past, One Story at a Time: Darlington Stripes
Amy Henderson · Monday May 8, 2006
NASCAR returns to the original Superspeedway this week. At a mile and a third and paved, the high-banked Darlington Raceway was unlike anything most of the drivers in its first race, the Southern 500, had ever seen. How that race would go was anybody's guess, and some of the goings-on couldn't have been imagined beforehand.
But what about the 102 races since that first one? What else has happened at this egg-shaped speedway in South Carolina? Here, for your perusal, are some of the more, well, useless facts"¦
Did you know:
- The record for most laps led in a 500-mile race at Darlington has not changed since that first Southern 500 in 1950? Johnny Mantz led 351 laps en route to his win that day, something no driver has done since.
- When Ricky Craven beat Kurt Busch to the line by less than an eyeblink for the win in the 2003 Spring race, that final lap was the only lap Craven led all day?
- Nine times, the same driver won two Cup races in a season at the Track Too Tough to Tame? Dale Earnhardt was the only driver to sweep the season twice, in 1987 and 1990. The last driver to complete the sweep was Jimmie Johnson, in the last year the Lady In Black hosted the series twice, 2004.
- Jimmie Johnson's victory in the last-ever Southern 500 made Rick Hendrick the all-time winningest owner at the track? Hendrick had been tied with another Johnson – the legendary Junior – with ten victories.
- That both Lake Speed and Speedy Thompson have visited Victory Lane at Darlington?
- Joining Johnny Mantz in the category of "first Darlington Race Winner" are Geoffrey Bodine (Busch Series, 1982) and Bobby Hamilton (Craftsman Truck Series, 2001)?
- When local businessman Harold Brasington first proposed building a paved Superspeedway in Darlington, most other local businessmen thought the idea was ridiculous? They thought that big-time auto racing would never find a home in this small town.
- There has been just one car on the lead lap when the checkered flag fell on a Darlington Cup race? That this has happened twenty-four times?!
- You will find even more Darlington facts in Friday's Nextel Cup and Busch Series editions of Race Trax, right here on the Frontstretch?
There you have it, some totally useless facts about the Mother of all Tracks, Darlington Raceway. Perhaps at this track more than almost any other, you can say, "That's History!"

If Cher's potential Logo TV show would be anything at all like her Twitter feed, we're already on board.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves - the legendary entertainer has only signed a development deal with the network, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Logo, which focuses on LGBT content, has revealed that Cher's working on a TV pilot that would be set in early-'60s Hollywood. She's partnered with Ron Zimmerman on the pilot script, and it's currently unknown if she'd also act in the project.
The announcement was made Saturday at the Television Critics Association tour, with more in-depth details about the deal being kept quiet for now.
