Back to the top for this. With the season here about to start, we need to support the people who support this sport.

Here in this town, on the southeast side, a new Casey's General Store is going up. It'll be perfect for fans (Mr. Wendell) east of here passing by on their way to Bloomington. I've stopped more than once at the Casey's in Mooresville on my way to LPS. Open 24 hours as I happily discovered on my way back one early morning.

This snowy afternoon I was reading some USAC PR. Tracy Hines was featured. One of his sponsors is Carolina Nuts.They can be found at various stores, according to the website. We plan to be in North Carolina for most all of March (missing the Jesse Hockett memorial . But I found that among the places where these nuts are sold, two of them are here in Columbus while one other is at Ingles' Supermarkets. Yes, there is an Ingles near where we'll be. And yes, I'll make a note to thank the folks at Carolina Nuts for sponsoring Mr. Hines.
