Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Sun, 03/25/2012 - 10:45pmThe two biggest topics in the racing world this past week have NASCAR fans fired up. The first event was the surprise reversal of the penalties levied against Hendrick Motorsports and the 48 team at Daytona. While Chief Appellate Officer John Middlebrook reversed the ruling of the three-member appeals panel on points and suspension penalties, he let the $100,000 fine for crew chief Chad Knaus stand. He modified the suspensions for Knaus and car chief Ron Malec to probation.

Summer Legs
Submitted by Jerry Vance on Sun, 03/25/2012 - 4:21pmI love spring time. You whip off the slacks, have a good look at your legs and decide that swimming is out for another year. Now, why do your legs look like that? I'll tell you why, because you sit all day, deny yourself water, eat lots of salty fatty foods, and you DON’T EXERCISE! That's putting the blame where it belongs. No one is happy with the condition of their legs. They're either to fat, too muscular, blue, (veins), or they’re w-a-y too short. And, most legs have funny little areas of puckered skin. It's called Fat. Have a look at your kid's legs.
