After hot laps
Tyler McPherson gets an earful for Aunt Tammy. According to Tammy her
brother, Sportsman stand out Bill Jr., has been pestering her to get
back on track. She’s a little reluctant, fearful the ‘youngsters’ will

A left-handed
pit-gal enters team stats. It’s no secret south-paws are a prevailing
factor in motor sports - Tony Stewart, Dale Jr., Paul Tracy, Patrick
Carpentier, and the long list goes on. According to a chat two years
ago with Dario Franchitti, also a lefty, over 45 per cent of drivers
(and several crew members) write with hand curled around the pencil.
There’s also left-handed writers (Kenny Hangauer Jr., Dave Sully,
Larry Ott to name a few) and some photogs as well!
