Law of Averages

 

HUNTERSVILLE, North Carolina (Sept. 9, 2021) – While the opener of the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series playoffs at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway did not go the way Kyle Busch envisioned, there are a couple of strong tracks on the horizon as he looks ahead to the next two races in the Round of 16.


The good news for Busch, driver of the No. 18 M&M’S Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR), is that the two remaining races in this opening round of the playoffs are two of his favorites – Richmond (Va.) Raceway and Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway. Busch has a combined 14 wins at those two tracks so, when he says both tracks are favorites, his success at both backs it up.

Joint Statement from NEH and NEA on Commemorating the 20th Anniversary of 9/11

When the horrific attacks against the United States were carried out on September 11, 2001, they left a nation stunned and grieving. However, the courage, bravery, and heroism exhibited by the first responders and the families of the victims on that day, and in the months and years to follow, gave us hope and helped us to heal. Following 9/11, the families of the victims chose to turn this tragic anniversary into something redemptive, and now the day is officially recognized as both “Patriot’s Day” and a “National Day of Service and Remembrance.”
