Simonson had his in the works by the tail end of junior year, and Tuesday brought 22 Sonora-area businesses to the school gym. The idea was to give students a chance tosee different career options before completing college applications this fall, Simonson said. "I noticed a lot of students in my class still don't know what they wanted to do out of high school or college," he said. Simonson will write a research paper to accompany the project about the benefits of higher education. But not everythmg at the event was gearedtoward the college-bound graduate, and representatives ranged from Sonora Regional Medical Center to Pinocchio's Italian Cafe. "I wanted to get the most variety, because not all students are going to collegegivethem options,"hesaid. Simonson contacted 60 Sonora-area businesses to reach the 22 willing to participate. He then worked with the school for permission to use the gym and organizedto borrow allthe tables and chairsneeded to setup each business booth.

By ALEX MacLEAN The Union Democrat
More than $100 million in federalfunding for projects that would benefit Tuolumne County is at stake when the state of California submits an application later this month in the National Disaster Resilience Competition. County and state officials met with the public Wednesday night at the County Administration Center in Sonora to present the proposed projects in the application beforethe final deadline on Oct. 27. "We' re trying to ... build a competitive application that we think will stand up againstthe 39 otherjurisdictions competing," said Louise Bedsworth, deputy director of the Governor's Office of Planning and Research, who worked with the county on the application over the past nine months. The competition is intended to provide a total of $1 billion in federalfunding for areas throughout the United States impacted by major disasters between 2011 and 2013. Tuolumne County was selectedto compete because of the 2013 Rim Fire that destroyed 257,000 acres in the Central Sierra and forced thousands of residents to evacuate their homes.
Winners are expected to be announced by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in early 2016.

Seth Magden, of GCR Inc., moderates a discussion about the National Disaster Resilience Competition application at a meeting held Wednesday night in Sonora. The roughly $115 million application is broken down into three "pillars," including: • $40 million for projects to improveforestand watershed health; • $55 million for community centers in Groveland and

"I love the way this speaks to a new kind of education that is unrolling in our state," said Superintendent of Schools Margie Bulkin. "That is, college may not be for everyone, but jobs are something everyone wants to have ... This creates great opportunities to train a future workforce." Though only about 20 people attended on Wednesday, Deputy County Administrator Maureen Frank said between 70 and 80 showed up to a similar meeting held the previous night at the community hall in Groveland. Frank said she thought the difference in turnout was likely due in part to the Rim Fire's proximity to the town. "They' re excited about some of the potential," she said of Groveland residents. The public has until Oct. 23 to submit comments re-
garding the proposed application. Comments can be submitted at www.hcd. ca.gov/nationaldisaster/public-notice. html. A draft ofthe 108-page document is online at www.

Shootingsuspect makes court appearance By TORI THOMAS The Union Democrat
A Sonora man accused of attempting to kill another man during an alleged brawl earlier this month appeared in T u olumne County Superior Court Wednesday for an arraignment hearing, but did not enter a plea. Emanuel Ericq Rupe, 60, R up e was arrested and charged with attempted homicide after a shooting was reported about 8:15 p.m. Oct. 7 on the 17000 Block of Valley Oak Drive in Mono Vista, north of Soulsbyville. Handcuffedand dressed in a redjumpsuit, he occasionally looked around the Dept. 2 courtroom, but mostly looked directly ahead.
Rupe's attorney, Douglas Gee, requested the hearing be continued. Judge James A. Boscoe then set the m atter forOct.23. According to a T uolumne County Sheriff's Office press release, deputies responded to the scene about 8:26 p.m. and found aman outsideofa house who had a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. The man told law enforcement officials he hadbeen in a fi ghtw ith another man, and during the altercation the man fired multiple rounds at him and threatened to kill him and his family, the press release stated. On the night of the shooting, Tuolumne County Sheriff's Lt. Neil Evans said both men were taken to Sonora Regional Medical Center following the incident. "One man went to the hospital with a bullet wound to the hand," he added.
Renate Mooney, who lives next door
to where the shooting occurred, said the night of the incident she was in her house when she heard more than 6ve gunshots and people yelling. "Then I called 911," she said. Katie Nemec, who was visiting Mooney at the time, said she heard a man and woman arguing. "I hearda woman yelling, 'So why do you havea gun? What are going to do? You going to shoot? Well then go ahead and shoot,' " she said. 'Then he started swearing back." After that, another gunshot was heard, Nemec said. Rupe is beingheldon $500,000 bond at the Tuolumne County Jail.

Bureaucrats
go wild on new laws SCOtt
Rasmussen In the United States these days, about 95 percent of all new "laws" are written by bureaucrats ratherthan approved by Congress.A pair ofrecent news stories documents the dangers of bureaucrats gone wild. Earlier this month, the U.S. officially defined 70,000 ways we can get sick or die. These classifications must be used by health care providers and insurance companies. Bloomberg News re-
ports that "Doctors have already begun mocking the diagnostic list, picking out the most absurd and arcane, such as Z63.1 Problems in relationship with in-laws,' or V91.07XA Burn due to water skis on fire.' " Unfortunately, this new system is widely expectedto create problems fordoctors and patients seeking reimbursement from insurance companies.It will also force doctors to spend more time with paperwork and less time with patients. Undoubtedly, costs will go up as cus-

tomer service goes down, all in the name of bu-
reaucratic excess. The other story, reported by the Washington Post, described how the federal government spent decades steering Americans away from whole milk. In fact, whole milk was banned in school lunch programs. Across the nation, sales of low-fat milk soared. All this was done in the belief thatitwould reduce heart disease. But despite the massive propaganda effort, the Postarticle says scientists aren'tclear"whether this massive shift in eating habits has made anyone healthier." Even worse, "millions might have been better off had they stuck with whole milk." Contrary to what the government bureaucrats expected, "people who consumed more milk fathad lower incidences ofheartdisease." A rational response to this news would be to re&ain from making blanket recommendations. It would seem reasonable to conduct additional research while spreading the word that the resultsof existing research are contradictory. That would let individual Americans decide for themselves. But that's not the way things work in government. As the official dietary guidelines are being written, believers in the original war on whole milk are going to battle with the skeptics. The fight is entirely over what the guidelines should say — and don'tbe fooled by the word "guidelines." Those who believe in the evils of whole milk will fight to ensure that the guidelines remain mandatory for school lunches and any other programs they can impact. These stories are examples of what the brilliant 20th century sociologist Robert Nisbet described as "an iron law of bureaucracy." He saw
bureaucrats as "secular missionaries with their own handbook for redemption, one that is underpinned by a doctrine of rigorous documentation, calculability, step-by-step itemized planning, and accountability." Sadly, theyoften behave as ifit'sbettertohave rules that are wrong rather than freeing people and allowing them to decide for themselves. As economist Thomas Sowell put it You will never understand bureaucracies until you understand that for bureaucrats procedure is everything and outcomes are nothing." These unelected and un-
accountable busybodies are a cancer threatening the lif eofour&ee society. Much of the public anger with official Washingtoncan be traced to the behavior ofoverzealous bureaucrats. In the real world, outcomes matter. A big part of what the American people are looking for in our next president is someone who can cure this cancer.

dent of Rasmussen Reports.

Democratic debate winners and losers The usual rule in politics is that &ontrunners have little to gain and much to lose in
debates. Debates put the &ontrunner on the same stage as those who have absolutely no chance of winning, elevating the less popular candidates at the expense of the more popular. Debates also give the "lesser" (in terms of poll numbers) candidates the opportunity to pile on the &ontrunner, expose divisions within the party, and own leave an impression of squabbling children rather than future presidents. If you doubt the conventional wisdom, just consider the recent Republican debates, which have helped to propel an unelectable candidate into the top spot, and have left the more plausible candidateslooking like losers.Have the debates helped Jeb Bush or Chris Christie or John Kasich? I'd say no. But Tuesday night in Las Vegas was an entirely different story. First of all, the frontrunner, Hillary Clinton, whose handling of the email and Benghazi issues has left many Democrats wondering whether she can go the distance, reminded everyone exactly why she isand deserves to be — the &ontrunner. I can honestly say she looked and sounded great, in total command of the issues. I actually got shivers as she talked about becoming America's first woman president. Sure, I know it' s a smart political move; she needs to remind women that they have a stake in her elec-

Sanders, Clinton bolstered by debate NORTH LAS VEGAS (AP) — Bernie Sanders' campaign said it raised nearly $2 million from the first Democratic debateofthe 2016 race,and socialme dia metrics showed he was the mostsearched candidate on Google and mostdiscussed on Facebook and Twitter.

Both Sanders and Clinton were looking Wednesday to build on their strong Democratic presidentialdebate performances as the rest of the field struggled to gain traction. Clinton, too, was trying to fundraise off her debate performance, emailing campaign backers with requests for donations from her husband, former President Bill Clinton, with the subject line "She won." The debate commanded by Clinton and Sanders appeared to narrow any opening for a presidential bid by Vice

"I thought every one of those was far &om over. folks last night — my own prejudice — I "There's a lot of work to be done be- thought they all did well."
A day after aggressively defending her long public service record and contrasting it with that of Sanders, Clinton remained in Nevada, talking to local media in the early voting state. She picked up the endorsement of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades during an event at a training facility in suburban Las Vegas beforeattending a rally. "Last night was a good night, today is just as good getting the endorsement of this union," she said. Sanders attended a taping of'The Ellen DeGeneres Show," which has become a popular stop for presidential hopefuls. Later Wednesday, he was greeted with thunderous applause and shouts of "Bernie, Bernie" at a $25-a-ticket fundraiser at a Hollywood nightclub. "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane warmed up the crowd, riffing that Sandershad ended his fear of saying that "capitalism and democratic socialism should coexist."

Continued from Page Al at a central location. In spring2014, Tuolumne County Office of Education staff under the leadership of Superintendent of Schools Margie Bulkin, came up with the idea to treat the whole student, emotional baggage and all. The program started in earnest in August 2014. It's the only program of its kind in California. "We were fi nding more and more studentshad experienced quite a bit of trauma," Parker said. Previously, the County Schools Office operated a middle-sc hool program for expell ed students at Sonora Elementary and a high school program at the Sonora Dome campus. The challenges stafF and students face are many. Not only must teachers gain the trust of students who've never
had faith in the school system, but they alsomust do sobeforeany academic or emotional progress can be made — all in a semester or two. Sometimes it' s less for kids scheduled to go to juvenile hall. The approach is an intensive, attachment program designed by Learning Center statF, including school psychologist Jason Sevier, licensed marriage and family therapist Bill Silva, high school teacher (and former probation officer) Steve Roos, middle school and special education teacher Ladd Brunner, principal and special education teacher Aimee Campiotti and independent study teacher Diana Mayben.

The students respond to the teachers being transparent as well as the continued show of respect and consideration. Silva said trauma is when a child has unmet needs, which can be both material or intangible — like food, shelter, love, safety, someone to talk to, someone who is there for them. Trauma also includes specific events or ongoing issues, which can often still be going on while the student is enrolled at TLC. Many students' needs have been unmet for so long that they reject over-

credentials and can test students for learning disabilities. Many students come in with untreated health and academic issues, and the school works to connect students with needed resources, such as dental exams.
The Learning Center also works hard to involve parents. In some cases, students and parents begin a path of reconciliation. An optional parent support group will begin mid-semester.

Check it out The weather year 1997-98 was a good one for gullywashers in Sonora, where 55.08 inches of rain fell between July 1, 1997, and June 30, 1998. That total exceeds the last wet weather year here in the Mother Lode, 2010-11, when 51.07 inches fell in Sonora. Both 1997-98 and 2010-11 brought more than double the amount of rain Sonora has received each of the past four years, and more than triple what Sonora received in 2013-14.

"I really appreciate the attention to either the prevention of potential violence and response to it," he said and offered to meet individually with anyone wanting more information on where the district is heading.

Fortunately, this year, health authorities are expecting the vaccine to be much more effective; they have incorporated changes in the influenza A (H3N2) virus and the influenza B virus components to target strains that will be the most prevalent. (In any given year, flu vaccines are about50 to 60 percent effective for the overall population.) So, if you' re discouraged by last year's results, don' t be. This year, it's both importantand effective to getvaccinated. Most health insurance plans cover the shot (or charge a nominal co-pay), and M edicare and Medicaid cover it. If you' re over 65, consider getting the high-dose threestrain version (trivalent); a regulardose trivalent is now available for folks who are allergic to eggs (one version is cultured in eggs; the new one is grown in a cell culture instead). Anyone age 18 to 64 can go for the quadrivalent version (four strains). And overall, everyone 6 months and older and all pregnant women should be vaccinated. Talk to your doc about the rightform of the vaccine for you and your whole family.

WEATHER WATCHERS NEEDED The Union Democrat has a dedicated team of volunteer weather watchers who keep track of high-low temperatures and precipitation. They call the newspaper with fresh numbers early every morning for that day's weather page, on the back of the sports section. The only pay is an annual gathering - sometimes a picnic hosted by the newspaper, sometimes dinner at an area restaurant - where they are honored and thanked. Necessary equipment, which the volunteers must provide themselves, are a thermometer that records the high and low temperatures of the day and a rain gauge. They must also submit snow depths and melt snow, when they get it, to include its water content with their precipitation. Volunteers are needed right now in, Tuolumne, Pinecrest and San Andreas. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer may callPam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau h©uniondemocrat.corn

Give my blood to the teenager who was pulled &om the wreckage of his car, so that he might live to see his grandchildren play. Give my kidneys to one who depends on a machine to exist from week to week. Take my bones, every muscle, every fi ber and nerve in my body and find a way to make a crippled child walk.
Explore every corner of my brain.
Take my cells, if necessary, and let them grow so that, someday, a speechless boy will shout at the crack of a bat and a deaf girl will hear the sound of rain against her windows. Burn what is left of me and scatter the ashes to the winds to help the flowers grow. If you must bury something, let it be my faults, my weaknesses and all my prejudice against my fellow man.

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. migraine headaches, and treatment for migraines is sometimes successful in treating CVS, so it's possible CVS represents a variant of abdominal migraine. CVS is a difficult diagnosis to make, as it can be easily confused with other causes of recurrent vomiting, and both children and adults often go long periods of time with incorrect diagnoses,sometimes getting surgeries,like your son did. Treatment should be administered by a clinician experienced in this condition, and unfortunately, that doesn' t seem to be the case with your son. In one series, 3 in 17 adults with CVS had a completeresponse to tricyclic antidepressants, but 13 had atleastsome response. So I would hold out more than just a little hope for some benefit.

DEAR DR. ROACH:I am 90 years old, physically and mentally in good health. Fourteen years ago, I had a triple bypass, which was very successful. Since that time I have had trouble with my blood pressure. The low always runs between 50 and 70, which is fine, but the high side is between 150 and 190, which is not good. My doctor has me on amlodipine and hydrochlorothiazide. Is there any way to lower the high pressure without also lowering the low side? My doctor does not want toincrease the dosages because it would keep me tired all the time. J.B. ANSWER: High systolic blood pressures in the elderly often are due to very stiff blood vessels.

Cyclic vomiting syndrome may be abdominal migraine DEAR DR ROACH:My son started having gastrointestinal problems in high school. Approximately three years ago, they became so intense that he couldn't work. Last May, he finally had surgery for gastric reflux. This helped with the persistent vomiting, but he is still experiencing intractable nausea. After a yearoftests and trialsofevery anti-nausea medication known, he f1nally was told that he has cyclic vomiting syndrome. He also was told, basically, "We don't know how to treat it.o He currently is on a trial of a tricyclic antidepressant, but wasn't given much hope that it would help. Could you suggest any possible treatment? He is only 28, and I can't imagine him living with this and not being able to work or participate in life forever after.— M.S. ANSWER: Cyclic vomiting syndrome isbest described in children, but is certainly described in adults. It is called "cyclic" because there are periods of multiple vomiting episodes (lasting from one day to a week) interspersedwith periods ofcompletely normal health. Children have 12 cycles peryearon average,whileadultshave four. CVS has been associated with

coronary artery disease, I think it'8 likely that you have calcium in your large arteries, which make them unyielding to the degree that the rush of bloodfrom the heart drives the pressure up very high. It may be impossible to lower the pressure without causing
symptoms, 80 I understand your doctor'8 concerns and position.
When I think about treating blood pressure, I think more about trying to prevent bad outcomes (like stroke and heart attack) than just treating a number. There is good evidence that ACE inhibitors, like ramipril, reduce heart attack risk in people with known risk factors, so I might try a very low dose to see if it helps the blood pressure without making you feel fatigued or lightheaded.

Today in history Today is Thursday, October 15, the 288th day of 2015. There are 77 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On October 15, 1915, "The Metamorphosis," Franz Kafka's famous absurdist tale about aman named Gregor Samsa who wakes up one morning to discover that he has been transformed into a huge, insect-like creature, was first published in the German literary journal Die Weissen Blaetter (dee VY'sehn BLEHT'-ur) (The White Pages). On this date: In 1914, the Clayton Antitrust Act, which expanded on the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson. In 1917, Dutch dancer Mata Hari, convicted of spying for the Germans, was executed by a French firing squad outside Paris. In 1940, Charles Chaplin's first all-talking comedy, "The Great Dictator," a lampoon of Adolf Hitler, opened in New York. In 1946, Nazi war criminal Hermann Goering (GEH'-reeng) fatally poisoned himself hours before he was to have been executed. In 1975, the book "Against Our Will: Men, Women and Rape," a history of sexual assault authored by Susan Brownmiller, was first published. In 1990, Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev was named the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. South Africa's Separate Amenities Act, which had barred blacks from public facilities for decades, was formally scrapped. In 1991, despite sexual harassment allegations by Anita Hill, the Senate narrowly confirmed the nomination of Clarence Thomas to the U.S. Supreme Court, 52-48.
BRIII communications get through. Patiently keep in action. Steady moves work better than impulsive ones. Imagine positive outcomes. Sell stuff you don't need. Engage in a conversation and energize it for a shared goal. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Today is a 9 — The more you study, the more your team wins. Heed a warning. Use confidential information to advance. Try something completely new and unexplored. Draw on resources you' ve been saving for a special occasion. Develop your natural talents. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Today is a 9 — Finish a job before it's due. You' re energized ... take advantage to power ahead. Friends are there for you. Go public with your plan. Share your enthusiasm. Long-term benefit comes from short-term coordinated action now. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today is an 8 — Feed your inspiration by making reminders of what you love and posting them where you can see them. Maintain optimism about a new leadership role. Friends give you a boost. You' re gaining respect. You' re especially persuasive. Capricorn (Dec. 22 Jan. 19): Today is a 9 — Your partner can get farther than you can now. Find a safe place for your money. Offer guidance. Get your partner involved. Success is your reward. Follow the logic trail. Lively music sets the tone. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today is a 9 — Keep up a steady rhythm. Let a partner take the lead sometimes. Career choices expand naturally. Finish a project and devote yourself to the process. Keep an open mind. Commit to bold action, once you' ve chosen direction. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Today is a 9 — Your career situation takes a mega leap. Act quickly and make a good impression. Put in extra effort. Focus on your work. Your conscientiousness makes you look stronger. Pay attention, smile and give it everything you' ve got.

South In today's deal, many players would go down 4 A53 at the table, but more would find the winning 7 KQ J 1 0 8 6 5 3 playon paper because they would pause atthe right moment. What should South do in five + K2 hearts after West leads the diamond ace? Did Dealer: South West have a more effective lead? Vulnerable: Neither West used the Unusual No-trump to show at l east 5-5 in the minors. Then East and South bid S o ut h We s t No r t h Ea s t at the five-level, unsure who could make what. IV 2NT Pass 51 If the defense were accurate, five diamonds 57 Pass Pas s Pas s would godown one, losing two spades and one heart. Five hearts is in danger if West has the Openinglead:I A clubace.Then declarer might concede one spade and two clubs. Of course, if East has the club ace, no problem. But if West holds that card, what chance does South have? Declarer can get home if spades are 3-2 and hearts are 2-1, if he does not ruff at trick one, but instead discards a spade. Suppose West continues with a low diamond. South ruffs, cashes his heart king and spade ace, plays a spade to dummy's king, ruffs a spade high, returns to dummy with a trump, and pitches his two clubs on the high spades. Five hearts bid and made with an overtrick. Afterward, West said that next time he would lead a low diamond at trick one.

3ustin Tuck's shoulder injury is 'not good'
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Southern California does have a game to play. The turmoil surrounding the firing of coach Steve Sarkisian has largely relegated the Trojans' rivalry with Notre Dame to second billing this week, but Wednesday's practice provided a strong indication that USC is eager and ready for the game Saturday night. A cameraman for a local television station wore a shirt featuring the Fighting Irish leprechaun mascot to practice Wednesday morning, drawing intense glares from USC receivers. He covered up the ofFending apparel at the request of school officials. Everything else suggested business as usual, and that's exactly the way quar-

terback Cody Kessler likes it. He was a redshirt sophomore when Lane Kiffin was fire d aRer fi ve games in 2013, and USC responded by going 6-2 under interim coach Ed Orgeron and winning the Las Vegas Bowl with offensive coordinator Clay Helton in charge. "We' ve been through a lot of adversity, and that's what we do best is move on," Kessler said. 'We have an opportunity to do something great this weekend. Notre Dame is a great football team and we' re excitedto getoutthere.It'sgoing to be a crazygame outin South Bend and we're excited. We can't wait to get back out thereand getready to go play a game." Kesslersaidthe 17-12 losstoW ashington last Thursday was as big a catalyst
for the team as Sarkisian's termination. The Huskies sacked Kessler five times and forced him into one of the worst performances of his college career, passing for 156 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions. Notre Dame has just 10 sacks through
six games, though triple-option opponents Georgia Tech and Navy have limited the Irish's opportunities to get after the quarterback.

Bouchard has filed a lawsuit against the United States Tennis Association after she slipped and fell in a locker room during the U.S. Open. In a la w suit fi l e d Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, Bouchard claims her fall was caused by a "slippery, foreign and d angerous substance" on the floor. Bouchard says she suffered a severe head injury, which caused her to withdraw from the tournament. She also dropped out of a tournament in China. Her suit c laims the USTA, tennis' national governing body, was negligent. It seeks unspecified damages. Bouchard says her world ranking has dropped 13 spots since the i ncident

But there are some concerns many overlook. How will a guy who got every shot he wanted fit into the Spurs' rigid system? How will it work with him next to Tim Duncan? How will their old legs hold up now that the acquisition of Aldridge depleted their bench? Are they better defensively, because Aldridge is not a good defender? The Spurs are always a problem for the Warriors. But they are not insurmountable.
The Los Angeles Clippers and Houston Rockets didn' t make any moves that scare the Warriors. Oklahoma City is the scariest foe in the Western Conference, but health is a big question mark for them. And with everyone healthy, it only makes for a thrillmg series.

With Choo up, Martin' s throw back to reliever Aaron Sanchez deflected off Choo and dribbled toward third base. Home plate umpire Dale Scott initially ruled it a dead ball but, after Rangers manager Jeff Banister questioned the call, the umpires huddled and Odor was sent home. Martin was given an error. "I just caught the ball and threw it back very casually and it hit his bat and then next thing you know run scores," Martin said. "It' s never happened inmy li fe before. It'sjust one ofthose moments, and it c reated an opportunity for us to do something special."
The Blue Jays became the third team to win a best-offive series after losing the first two games at home. The 2001 Yankees also did it against Oakland, and the 2012 Giants did it against Cincinnati. Both of those teams went on to reach the

3 THINGS WE LEARNED AT CHARLOTTE
A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves Matt Kenseth in trouble? No way, right? GODSPEAK:If he stumbles at Kansas, it's all over for Kenseth. KEN'S CALL:Anyone else but Mild Matt, I'd say it was time to panic.But something tells me he wins one of the next two weeks.
Look out for that wall, Joey. ASSOCIATED PRESS/TERRY RENNA
Why could the Kansas winner be the happiest winner we' ve seen this year? For the reason behind this coming Sunday's big smiles, look ahead to

round, expect an extra joyous post-race
GODSPEAK:I like Ken's Call right here, but it will be more "Mad Max" Matt than mild. KEN'S CALL:As if you couldn' t tellby the first question and answer? I'mtaking Matt.
Wait, burnouts are still OK?
If you were Joey Logano, would you park early the following week at Talladega?
Huh? You' re kidding, right?
burnout.
For now, yes, but if NASCAR is serious about post-racetech, they should think about taming them.
GODSPEAK:Take the green, then take it to the garage and root for his pal, "Kez." KEN'S CALL:Joey and this week's winner should suddenly develop vibration issues on Lap 2 at Talladega.
