Chair City salutes veterans like no other Rain no damper for annual celebration

Dignitaries join to honor those who sacrificed BY ELIOT DUKE

BY ERIN WILTGEN

Staff Writer

As Miss Thomasville 2010 Mallory Honeycutt’s voice peeled the high notes of the National Anthem and thunder rumbled a deep accompanying percussion overhead, those who braved the Memorial Day rain saluted or covered their hearts in pride of their country. Residents, visitors and dignitaries alike huddled under a tent to honor those who fought for the U.S., especially those eight North Carolina soldiers who died this past year in the line of duty. The families of the fallen soldiers were honored with plaques and applause. “The rain today symbolizes the collective tears of a nation that honors you,” Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton told the assembled families. “Your loved ones are the ones for whom those 24 notes of taps were played.” And though the eight fallen soldiers were the only ones mentioned by name during the day’s festivities, participants in Thomasville’s Memorial Day Freedom Celebration took the opportunity to honor silently not only other soldiers who have died in the line of duty but also all people who have served in the military in one form or another. “We celebrate because of the sacrifices for peo-

Thomasville’s National Guard Armory serves as a pit stop during the annual Memorial Day parade, a place where local and state dignitaries share a meal with family and friends of veterans who partake in the event. It’s also a place where organizers of the parade pay special tribute to honorary guests, like High Point Police Officer Ken Leonard. On Dec. 30, 2005, Leonard worked for a private security firm in Iraq, training local police in unison with American military personnel, when the vehicle he was riding in got struck by an IED bomb. The explosion shredded Leonard’s feet, resulting in a double-amputee. Leonard wouldn’t let the accident keep him down, though, as he eventually returned to his job at High Point Police Department. When Leonard’s name was announced at the armory during lunch, the crowd rose as one with a standing ovation that nearly left the officer in tears. “It was overwhelming,” Leonard said. “I nearly broke down. I’m just honored to be a part of this special day. These people truly are role models for all of us.” Congressman Howard Coble (R-NC) received one of the biggest surprises

County jobless rate falls to lowest mark since 2008

Wayside hospital key to city’s history BY ERIN WILTGEN Staff Writer

BY ELIOT DUKE Staff Writer Davidson County’s unemployment rate got some good news last month for the first time in years. County unemployment, according to Friday’s statistics released by the Employment Security Commission of North Carolina, fell by a percentage point to 12.1 percent in April, the lowest its been since 2008. Davidson joined all but one of the state’s 100 counties that experienced a decrease in unemployment last month — a sign that perhaps the economy is showing some recovery from the two-year long recession. Davidson County’s unemployment is still above the state rate of 10.8 percent, and 59 counties in North Carolina remain in double-digits. “The positive news in the April county data is that there has

MARKED IN HISTORY

Nestled along the North Carolina railroad, Thomasville grew in size and name largely because of its shoe and furniture industries. At least initially. During the Civil War, however, Thomasville put itself on the map, becoming an important hospital site for Confederate and Union soldiers alike. In March, 1865, the wayside hospital — a hastily set up makeshift hospital site — was built, with facilities in a tobacco warehouse, a depot and the

local Baptist and Methodist churches. Soldiers who died in the hospitals were buried in Thomasville’s City Cemetery side by side. “The people volunteered in the community, and the churches made the places available,” said Bill Colonna of the Thomasville Historic Preservation Committee. “Basically, the community came together to help out in lots of ways.” Thomasville sent hundreds

of soldiers off to war to fight for the Confederacy. As the war went on, Thomasville became important as a shoe supplier for the Confederate cause. The Union invasion of North Carolina’s coast in 1862 caused the first influx of civilian refugees and wounded soldiers, and Thomasville’s smallpox hospital attracted those fleeing wartorn areas searching for medical assistance. “I think it was the fact that it was a well-thought-out, established town and already had a smallpox hospital,” said

8 words that changed my life ADVICE

MARY HUNT Syndicated Columnist

You hear it all the time, but do you know what it means to live below your means? More importantly, have you figured out how to do that? To live below your means is to create a lifestyle you can pay for with money left over. Living below your means in this high-pressure, credit-based, gottahave-it-all-right-now society is not exactly easy. It takes skill and determination to go against the tide and buck a system that encourages spending all we have now plus what we hope we’ll get in the future. Here’s the secret for living below your means: Buy what you need; want what you have. That’s it. Eight words that could change your life forever. Eight words that point the way to contentment. A while back, I read that the average American adult is the target of some 3,500 commercial ads in a single day. How outrageous is that? Sure, we live in a highly commercialized society, but

3,500 ads? In a single day? I figured that had to be a gross exaggeration. I decided to conduct my own test. I would count the ads I heard or saw in my typical day. I knew it wouldn’t come anywhere close to 3,500. The next morning, the radio alarm sounded, and before I even could open my eyes, I needed to put two hash marks on my score pad. So prolific were the ads on television I barely could keep an accurate count and get ready at the same time. Of course, I had to count every message, banner, business placard, real estate sign, billboard, license plate frame, bumper sticker, commercial vehicle and bus I saw on the way to work, all the while being careful not to miss any radio ads. Good thing I wasn’t behind the wheel. Reading the newspaper boosted my count significantly, as did flipping through a few magazines. Have you ever counted the ads in a typical women’s magazine? Try it sometime. Logging on to the Internet shot my count through the roof. The mail arrived at 10 a.m., and that’s when I surrendered. Not only was it impossible to get anything done while counting the commercial influences on my fairly low-key, ho-hum kind of a day but also I couldn’t keep up with the pace. It was a mind-boggling exercise.

The Smith Clinic on Randolph Street is the only building architecture.

So how can we practice contentment? How can we embrace the eight words “buy what you need; want what you have” and, in so doing, counteract commercial influences that attempt to sabotage our efforts to live below our means? We need to take back control of our thoughts and actions from the culture around us, which works so hard to manipulate our actions. Recognize when you’re being manipulated into buying something you don’t really need. What’s driving your decision? Can you really afford it? Do you even want it? Never feel you must apologize for choosing the high road when it comes to managing well the money that flows into your life. Living below your means is a way to build wealth, reduce stress, create options and find peace of mind. It is an honorable way to conduct your life.

One particular building in the Chair City preserves a very different aspect of Thomasville’s history in the form of architecture. The Smith Clinic, built in 1939 by Dr. William Gordon Smith, a general practice physician in Thomasville, is one of the few buildings in the area with Art Deco architecture. Smith, a man of means, had enough money to hire an architect, Tyson Ferree. He designed the building in the artistic Art Deco style, with fluted columns and brushed aluminum, fluted doorknobs. “It would’ve been a

unique doctor’s office because it’s very stylish for the time,” said City Attorney Paul Mitchell, who owns and restored the clinic. “It doesn’t look like a modern building because they were much more creative in that day in age.” After its 35 years as a doctor’s office, the clinic became a day-care, then fell into disrepair. Mitchell came across the building and decided to restore it, completely gutting two rooms and searching for an architect capable of following the original style. Mitchell’s enthusiasm stemmed partially from his love of history and partially from a personal connection to the Smith family. Dr. Smith’s son,

MEMORIAL DAY FREEDOM CELEBRATION RAIN From page 1 ple that everybody made for our country so that people here can come out and enjoy this,” said Justin Thomas, himself a veteran. Memorial Day strikes a particular chord with those who have ties to the military. Harvey Lowd, for example, served in the Army and has a daughter in the Navy. Lowd said that celebrating Memorial Day, even through something as simple as a parade, serves as a reminder of the fact that the freedoms people in this country enjoy have come at the price of others’ lives. “As the saying goes, freedom is not free,” he said. And the people packing Thomasville’s sidewalks and street corners for the Memorial Day parade showed their appreciation loud and clear, clap-

HONOR From page 1 of the afternoon when Thomasville Mayor Joe Bennett presented him with the key to the city. Coble participates in the parade every year as part of his busy Memorial Day schedule, and feels the event is a great way to show the price that is paid by soldiers who give the ultimate sacrifice. “I didn’t expect that,” said Coble of getting the key to the city. “No one told me anything about it and I’m honored to receive it. This is a great day for Thomasville and all of North Carolina. Freedom really isn’t free and this Memorial Day parade is a great way to honor our military and all their sacrifices. I heard 40,000 people were here today, and that to me says a lot about how much

ping and waving flags as veterans and the families of North Carolina’s fallen soldiers passed by. “It’s important to honor people who are willing to make that sacrifice for people they don’t know and who will never know them,” said Jan Lowd, Harvey’s wife. While grilling out with family and friends still remains an important part of many Memorial Day celebrations, people at the parade said that Thomasville’s festivities gave them the opportunity to focus on the true meaning of the holiday. “We wanted to express our deep gratitude to all of the families of the veterans,” said Linda Nowack, holding her 4year-old son, Andrew. “We wanted to teach our son the benefits of living in a free country, because it’s not free.”

we appreciate our troops. I hope this parade continues for years to come.” Rain stayed away for the initial phase of the parade, but showers started moving in around noon. The precipitation didn’t affect the parade’s route through Thomasville, as most of the participants had already reached Cushwa Stadium by the time heavier rain moved in. “Thomasville does such a great job honoring its military brethren every year with this parade,” Hugh Holliman, House majority Leader, said. “It looked like all of Thomasville was out here today. This really is a special day, honoring all these men and women who protect our freedoms here at home.”

TAX-FREE INCOME FOR YOUR RETIREMENT Tax-free income is the best gift you can give yourself at retirement. Converting to a Roth IRA from a traditional IRA allows for tax-free accumulation as well as tax-free withdrawals in retirement – which means you don’t have to worry as much about what income tax rates will be in the future. There are tax considerations and other factors that determine whether converting to a Roth IRA is right for you. And changes set for 2010 will eliminate the $100,000 modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) limit, which means anyone can convert to a Roth IRA. Call today to schedule an appointment to learn more. We’ll discuss your retirement goals to help determine if a Roth IRA makes sense for you. Edward Jones, its employees and financial advisors do not provide tax or legal advice.

Legalize immigration BY STEVE CHAPMAN Syndicated Columnist A lot of Arizonans are upset about illegal immigration, and to learn why, you can’t do better than the letter from Arizona State Sen. Sylvia Allen. Widely circulated on the Internet, it provides a pungent statement of the frustrations behind the new law stiffening enforcement — while confirming that it’s the wrong remedy. People on the border, she writes, “have pleaded for help to stop the daily invasion of humans who cross their property.” The migrants damage fences, scatter trash and sometimes perish en route. “One rancher testified that 300 to 1,200 people a DAY come across his ranch,” reports Allen. The illegal entries, she believes, undermine our status as “a nation of laws.” With a state budget deficit, “we do not have the money to care for any who are not here legally,” she says. Hers are not the only complaints being heard. Among others: Illegals don’t pay taxes. They steal Social Security numbers to get jobs. They drive down wages by working off the books. All no doubt true. But the legislation assumes that tougher enforcement at the border and within the state will magically banish these problems. In fact, those options have already been tried, and all they have done is make things worse. The supporters of the law, meanwhile, overlook the obvious. There is a simple way to stop the lawless stream, protect Americans living on the border, improve adherence to law and reduce the costs of accommodating people who have no right to be here. The solution? Stop focusing on trying to keep illegal immigrants out and start focusing on letting legal immigrants in. Enforcement-only advocates often say they are not opposed to foreigners coming here as long as they follow the rules and obey the law. They should take a number and wait their turn, we are told, like the teeming masses of yore. It makes perfect sense until you discover that for most of those who want to come, legal admission is just about impossible. “A peaceful, hardworking 24-year-old in Mexico or Central America who knows of a job in the United States for which no Americans are available simply has no legal means of entering the United States,” writes policy analyst Daniel Griswold of the libertarian Cato Institute. Foreigners with in-de-

mand skills, like computer scientists, may get work visas. Close relatives of legal immigrants can also be admitted, though they often have to wait years. But if you don’t fit in one of those slots — well, how do you say “fugheddaboutit” in Spanish? Griswold suggests a big boost in the number of temporary worker visas, which would mean Mexicans and Nicaraguans would no longer have to undertake a death-defying trek across the Sonoran Desert, or squeeze into the trunk of a smuggler’s car, for the privilege of working at a sweaty, low-wage job. They wouldn’t need to swipe Social Security numbers to get counterfeit documents. They would be far more likely to work on the books and pay taxes. They would come under the cover of federal and state labor regulations, so they would no longer undercut native employees. They would stop enriching Mexican criminal organizations that make a business of human trafficking. They would gain more of a stake in participating in and preserving our way of life. Xenophobes might fear that expanding legal immigration would produce a big jump in the foreign-born population. That’s unlikely, because in this realm, the paradoxical often prevails. Trying to lock down the border has not stanched the flow of unauthorized newcomers from the south, but it has made the trip much more dangerous and expensive. So illegal foreigners who once came and left now come and stay. Thirty years ago, nearly half of undocumented arrivals departed within a year. Today, only one in 14 does. If most of the 12 million illegal immigrants were to gain authorized status, many would feel free to return to their native countries, and some would remain there. Permitting more legal immigrants, oddly, could reduce the number of total immigrants. If there is any lesson from recent experience, it’s that foreigners are going to come here one way or another. The best option is to admit far more of them through wider legal channels. The alternative is to keep Arizona’s southernmost ranches as the front line of a war the immigrants don’t want and we can’t win.

The privilege of public service VIEWPOINT

D.G. MARTIN N.C. Columnist The recent high profile political scandals in North Carolina get under our skin, don’t they? One reason they disturb us so much is that we are proud of our state’s good government tradition. We have never been perfect. But, generally speaking, we are blessed at both the local and state level with a core of civil servants who serve with professionalism and unselfishness. It could be different, as it is in some other states where corruption and unprofessionalism are the rule rather than the exception, as it is in our state. Some people give credit to North Carolina’s good traditions in local government administration to Donald Hayman, who died a few days ago not long after his 91st birthday. Maybe you remember some things I wrote about Dr. Hayman a year or two ago when I was celebrating some good people that Kansas had shared with North Carolina. Back then I wrote, “Sixty years ago, a young Kansan moved to North Carolina to teach public law and government at the Institute of Government in Chapel Hill.

His specialty was personnel administration, but his colleagues called on him for many other important tasks. Shortly after his arrival, his study of the financial soundness of the state and local governments’ pension systems prompted revisions that still guide retirement plans for government employees. “Within a few years, he was deeply involved in the Institute’s programs to educate, train and serve the professional managers of North Carolina’s counties and municipalities. The modest Hayman became the godfather of thousands of North Carolina’s public servants. He quietly encouraged them to follow his example of professionalism and service. “As a result, North Carolina’s citizens are the beneficiaries of a corps of highlevel public servants who can trace their professional standards to Donald Hayman’s inspiration. Although many of the men and women that Hayman trained are now retired, they have passed on his legacy to their successors.” About the time I wrote about Dr. Hayman, UNC-Chapel Hill’s School of Government (successor to the Institute) honored him with the MPA (Master of Public Administration) Alumni Distinguished Public Service Award and named the award for him. At the ceremony, former students called him the “father of sound public personnel administration” and the “father of professional local government” in North Carolina. For many years Dr. Hayman also led a state government internship program for North Carolina col-

lege students. Forty-five years ago, as one of those interns I got a dose of his quiet enthusiasm for public service and his demand for unselfish professionalism. Since his death I have tried to put in a few words about how this quiet modest man left such a strong and positive impression on his students. His example was critical. Always well prepared, he was still careful to listen with real respect to what others brought to the table. I learned that he “exhorted” his MPA students to be “clear, concise, and free of ambiguity” in all their communications. His students learned the skills of public administration as well as the importance of competence, tact, and non-partisanship. There is something more that is harder to describe. Dr. Hayman’s students (including those summer interns) came to understand it was a privilege to serve the public and that such service was both a heavy responsibility and its own reward. Underneath it all was the recognition that dishonesty, private gain, or betrayals of public trust were unpardonable, unspeakable sins. Dr. Hayman’s death is a good time to remember that the civic virtues his students brought to public life in North Carolina are treasures to celebrate, to renew, and to protect. D.G.

A historic marker stands near the site of the wayside hospital on West Main Street near the pedestrian tunnel under the railroad tracks.

HOSPITAL From page 1 Thomasville Tourism Director Mark Scott about why people flocked to Thomasville, citing the smallpox hospital and the railroad passing through the center of town. In addition to the existing hospital, churches and other buildings were turned into makeshift hospitals, and convalescent facilities for soldiers arose. By the time the first 280 wounded men arrived by train from the battlefield in Averasboro, the wayside hospital already included several sites. While Confederate surgeon Simon Baruch led the medical efforts, Confederate Gen. Joseph E. Johnson established hospitals in the local Baptist and Methodist churches in March of 1865 as his Tennessee army retreated north. Local men, women and children, including young ladies from the Glen Anna Female Seminary, worked together, ripping out church pews, collecting pine straw for bedding, and gathering food and drink for the wounded. Volunteers also assisted in caring for the soldiers, regardless of the color of their uniform. Surgeries were performed outside. Another facility of wayside hospital was located in Pinnix Tobacco Factory,

also established by Johnson in March 1865. The exact location of the factory remains unknown, though historians infer that it most likely sat on the northern side of the railroad tracks opposite the L.L. Thomas hotel. The hotel, which served as a railroad depot in 1865, formed another link in the chain that was wayside hospital. On East Main Street, just south of the railroad tracks and near present-day Cramer Street, L.L. Thomas hotel was the meeting place for the local chapter of Masons. Also in this hotel, Confederate surgeon Baruch set up his headquarters. Baruch had been instructed to set up wayside hospital in Thomasville to treat the wounded from Bentonville. The makeshift hospital helped wounded and dying soldiers well into the summer of 1865, when it closed, according to historical records. After the end of the war and the hospital dissipated, Colonna said residents of the Chair City began putting back together the pieces of their lives. “After the Civil War, there was a lot of getting things back in order that had to take place,” Colonna said. “I think that it was a release in a lot of people’s heads, and they started to do things that would cause growth, building homes. This was just a time of rebuilding and recharging their batteries.”

Marking the Way A Civil War Trails marker indicates the spot where the wayside hospital in Thomasville once stood. The marker rests near the north entrance of the pedestrian underpass at the end of the Clock Tower parking lot. During the Civil War, soldiers would have gotten off the train in that general area. The Methodist church stood on the northwest corner of East Main and what is now Memorial Park Drive. At the time of wayside hospital, Memorial Park Drive was known as Cemetery Street. The Baptist church sat on Randolph Street, then Glen Anna Street, where present-day First Baptist Church now stands. At the time of the War, both churches were wooden. Both framed churches stood proud for years after being used for wayside hospital. In 1908, the Methodist church was incorporated into a new brick sanctuary and was

used as the Sunday school wing. In 1947, Main Street Methodist and Community Methodist churches combined and met at the Community site on Randolph Street. In 1950, the combined congregations built Memorial United Methodist Church, and the old Main Street church was torn down in 1948. Community Methodist Church, which became Thomasville’s Civic Center, was destroyed in a fire in 1976, and the site is now used as a parking lot for the Thomasville Library. The Baptist church was moved to the north side of the church’s property in 1911 so that a brick sanctuary could be built. In 1912, the wooden building, then 50 years old, was moved to Fisher Ferry Street Extension so Southside Baptist Church could use it. Southside Baptist used the church until 1952, when a new structure with a steeple was built.

RATE From page 1 been an increase in the number of workers employed throughout the state,” ESC Chairman Lynn R. Holmes said. “At the same time, the news is tempered by the fact that more than half of the counties still have unemployment rates over the adjusted rate of 10 percent. We continue to provide a variety of services in our 89 offices statewide.” Karen Michael, assistant manager at the ESC in Lexington, was happy to see the new county numbers, especially with a full percentage point decline. She said job growth is slowly happening, pointing out that two

Donna Sink

companies in the county, Vitacost.com and United Furniture, recently announced job creation ventures, and her Lexington office currently has around 100 new job listings. “Hip, hip, hooray,” Michael said. “That’s pretty impressive. When [the rate] goes up or down a tenth of a point, there’s not too much hoopla. But when it goes down a whole percent, that’s pretty encouraging. It’s reflective of what’s going on. I think people are becoming more encouraged and are out there looking more. Things are looking up right now, but we’re not out of the woods yet.” Employed workers across the state increased by 30,780 in April while

Davidson County Sheriff ’s Office arrested a Thomasville man for drug possession at a home where a disturbance call on Wednesday led to a pair of Chair City schools being put on lockdown. According to a DCSO press release, Tony Ray Thorne, 43, of 203 Lynella Lane, was arrested Thursday by the vice narcotics unit and charged with trafficking cocaine, possession with intent to sell and deliver marijuana, maintaining a dwelling/vehicle to keep a controlled substance and possession of drug

paraphernalia. Deputies stopped Thorne in Thomasville and conducted a consensual search of his home where they seized 685 grams of marijuana and 28 grams of cocaine. The arrest was the result of a month-long DCSO investigation. Thorne was issued a $650,000 secured bond and place in the Davidson County Jail. On Wednesday, Thomasville Police Department responded to a disturbance call at Thorne’s home involving three suspects. Police pulled over a vehicle on Memorial Park Drive matching the description of the one seen leaving the residence. All three suspects fled the vehicle but the lone female,

Aldrika Dashun Davis, 22, of Greensboro, returned and was arrested. TPD initiated a search for two males and informed Thomasville City Schools Superintendent Keith Tobin that the suspects were in the area and possibly armed following a home invasion. Tobin ordered a Code Red lockdown for Thomasville High School and Thomasville Middle School. TPD arrested Frank Arthur Gladney, 24, and Tyree Donta Payne, 19, both of High Point, a short time later near Salem Point Apartments on Salem Street. All three suspects are charged with felony kidnapping.

The county’s labor force dropped by 1,065 workers in April to 76,506, with employment registering in at 67,286. Randolph and Guilford counties reported unemployment rates of 10.5 percent and 10.4 percent, respectively. Scotland County had the state’s highest unemployment rate at 15.8 percent and Currituck County’s rate of 5.8 percent marked the lowest.

Mustangs elude HiToms for win BY ZACH KEPLEY

CALENDAR TODAY CPL

HiToms @ Forest City 7:05 p.m. LEGION

Danville @ Post 87 6 p.m.

Sports Editor Chasing the Martinsville Mustangs all night long, the HiToms tried to corral their rivals from the Coastal Plain League Western Division. Each time they were within reach, though, the Mustangs were a slight step ahead, escaping Finch Field with an 8-6 win Saturday evening. “The big thing is we took the adversity and kept fighting back,” said head coach Tom Dorzweiler. “We kept digging and didn’t give up.”

Martinsville led 3-0 through an inning and a half, but the HiToms rallied back to within 3-2. Starter Clint Ingram — a former Post 87 standout — struggled in his CPL pitching debut through the first couple of innings, but settled into a nice groove through the middle innings. He kept the Martinsville bats quiet and gave his team a chance to overtake the Mustangs, but the offense could not muster up any runs. “He pitched a great ballgame,” said Dorzweiler. “He did really great

for us out there.” In the eighth, the Mustangs tacked on what proved to be three critical insurance runs. After a walk and a single, an RBI hit by Jeff Forgerson chased Ingram off the hill. Jacob Cadle — another Post 87 product — came on in relief, but his outing was shaky, as he gave up two hits and let two more runs score, making it 6-2 Mustangs. The HiToms matched the productivity of their foes in the bottom half, plating three runs themselves to get back within one.

Seth Freeman delivered the first two with a tworun double that scored Daniel Kassouf and Mike Patman. Ben Grisz would also score after reaching on an error, then scoring on an error for a 6-5 ballgame. Again, though, the Mustangs came with the goods scoring two runs in the ninth, then they held off a one-run rally by the HiToms in the ninth to preserve the win. A few more players have arrived since last game, giving the HiToms a little more depth to work with. More are ex-

pected to trickle in the next few days, but it has been a struggle for Dorzweiler trying to piece together a lineup. “We have guys playing out of position and pitchers that have thrown a lot,” he said. “I have nothing negative to say about the way we are playing.” Notes: The HiToms drop to 2-2 while the Mustangs improve to 21 … Matt Dillon (Post 87 alum), John Neese, Freeman and Kyle Barbeck each had two hits for the HiToms.

Busch cleans up again at Charlotte BY REID SPENCER NASCARMedia.com CONCORD — Call it Roger’s revenge. Kurt Busch won Sunday night’s Coca-Cola 600 for team owner Roger Penske, spoiling a dream day for rival owner Chip Ganassi, who started Sunday off with Dario Franchitti’s victory in the Indianapolis 500. Busch crossed the finish line .737 seconds ahead of Earnhardt Ganassi Racing’s Jamie McMurray to complete a sweep of both NASCAR Sprint Cup races at Charlotte—last Saturday’s Sprint All-Star Race and Sunday’s 600. The victory was Busch’s second of the season and the 22nd of his career. He is the seventh driver to win both Charlotte races during May speedweeks, and his victory prevented Ganassi from winning the IndyCar Series’ most prestigious race and NASCAR’s longest on the same day. Kyle Busch finished third, followed by Mark Martin and David Reutimann. Jeff Gordon, Clint Bowyer, Paul Menard, polesit-

In victory lane, Kurt Busch dedicated the win to Penske. “I thought about that Ganassi car behind us,” Busch said. “He wasn’t going to get by us.” Because the race started in sunlight and ended under the lights, Busch was worried

about changing track conditions. “This was a race for the ages,” Busch said. “To have a car as good as it was in the daytime, I was afraid of it at night. I didn’t know if it was going to be able to give me the handling like it had early on in the race. And it played out in our favor.

Myers ﬁnds Victory Lane again at Bowman Gray Stadium BG REPORT For the second week in a row, Burt Myers of Walnut Cove found himself battling outside-row challengers for restart after restart. Myers was able to maintain his composure and come away with the checkered flag. Tim Brown had the fastest qualifying lap for Saturday’s Whelen 100 for the Bill Plemmons RV

World Modified Series. But when the competitors had a full-field draw for starting positions, it was Myers who plucked the pole as his starting spot. On the outside row beside Myers was Jonathan Brown of WinstonSalem — a competitor that has had a history of run-ins and hard racing with the Myers team. As the green flag waved, Myers shot out into the

lead, but a series of cautions gave Brown a few more chances to pull up beside Myers for another shot. In fact, with five cautions before lap 60, Myers had to again and again perform flawlessly to defend his lead. “If you can start on the inside of the front row, it’s up to you — it’s your race to lose,” said Myers. “With Jonathan running on the outside, he had to

have me make a major mistake in order to clear me. So I knew that if I could just keep hitting my marks, it may take a lap or two, but I could eventually clear him.” Although Brown was unable to complete a pass for the lead, he raced many times side-by-side with Myers, and more than once he delivered a few stout taps to Myers’ bumper.

“I was definitely faster than Burt right through the center of the corner. I could roll in there and hit him a little bit,” said Brown. “The car was good. I felt like we were better than Burt in the long run but we just kept having those cautions.” Realizing that the track conditions on the outside groove were starting to

SPORTS BUSCH From page 7 “I’m speechless with the fact that we swept both races. … McMurray kept us honest. He was right there at the end. It wasn’t like we faded back into the pack. He just separated himself from the pack and came and got us. He taught me a couple things about my line. I needed to adjust it, and it helped us stay out in front of him at the end.” McMurray, who gave Ganassi the first leg of the unprecedented Daytona 500/Indy 500 double, finished second for the third time in the last five races. The difference was the final pit stop. McMurray had a lead of more than two seconds when Marcos Ambrose crashed off Turn 2 on Lap 377 of 400. Kurt Busch and Kenseth beat McMurray out of the pits after two-tire stops for all three drivers. Because Gordon, Martin and Newman stayed on the track during the caution, McMurray restarted sixth on Lap 382. By the time the cars got back to the line, Busch and McMurray were running 1-2 and quickly separated themselves from the cars behind them. McMurray was closing at the end of the race but ran out of time. “I knew that whoever came out ahead on that last pit stop between Kurt and I — if somebody didn’t screw up — that would be the race winner,” McMurray said. “It would take me too many laps to run Kurt back down, and then when you get within 10 or 12 car-lengths, you just stall out. “I just didn’t have enough time at the end.” One short sequence hobbled the cars of three championship contenders. On Lap 167, four-time defending Sprint Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson slid sideways off Turn 4, tapping the outside wall with the right rear of his No. 48 Chevrolet. Johnson’s spin forced Denny Hamlin to take evasive action, damaging the front splitter of the No. 11 Toyota as Hamlin rolled through the infield grass. Under caution for Johnson’s spin, Kyle Busch, who came to the pits with the lead, collided with Brad Keselowski on pit road, damaging both cars. In Johnson’s case, the spin was the least of his troubles. On Lap 273, Johnson spun off Turn 2 and slammed nose-first into the inside wall. He returned to the track on Lap 306 after extensive repairs to his Chevy and finished 37th. Kyle Busch recovered from his troubles to run third, but his comeback wasn’t without incident. An angry Jeff Burton confronted Busch on pit road after the race. Burton took issue with Busch for late contact between their cars, which resulted in a cut left rear tire on Burton’s Chevy and turned a promising run into a 25th-place finish. “I like racing with Kyle—I really do,” Burton said. “I enjoy it, but when he gets overaggressive and I pay the price for it, I won’t tolerate it. I’m just not going to put up with it. I don’t mind racing with him. I don’t mind him being aggressive, but I’m not going to be the victim of his aggressiveness. I’m just not

going to put up with it.” Busch had a measured response to Burton’s criticism. “I said, ‘Look, man, last restart of the race. You have to go, make some bold moves. It wasn’t me that made it three-wide, it was your teammate (Clint Bowyer). Have a chat with him,’ ” Busch said. “I would be more than happy to sit with Jeff Burton and talk with him about it and for him to point (it) out on a replay to me.” TUESDAY EVENING CBS PBS FOX NBC ION CW ABC MNT WLXI

not favor his car setup, Brown opted not to choose the outside lane and challenge Brown for the remaining four cautions of the night. Instead, Lee Jeffreys of Wallburg was given the chance to pull up and fight for the lead. With a 12th place starting position, the outside row was something that Jeffreys used each and every time to claw his way through the field. “We didn’t have anything for Burt. We wore out what we had trying to get there, and he could just run what he needed to,” said Jeffreys. Myers went on to claim the checkered with Jeffreys taking over second place. Jonathan Brown finished third.
