Where did she go

Well...as it turns out- Paige DID in fact get a second chance- she was selected as "The Lady In Black" beauty queen for the Darlington race a couple of weeks ago at the Southern 500.

Sending my best to both of them. Janice I don't currently have any leads on the other stuff you asked me about. However- if something surfaces, I will be sure to let you know, ok?
Where were the fans
General
I'll keep my comments short, but on a similar subject- if the reports are true, Bruton is gonna get his way and take a race from Atlanta after this year. And even though Bruton Smith has done a lot in the sport, I'm not afraid to stand up and say he is a disgrace to Nascar for what he has done to Atlanta. It started when he bought the track back in the early nineties, when he built the Tara Place condos outside of what was turn 2. Then he went and tried to build "Charlotte South" in 1997, never minding the fact he had just built the same facility in Texas. I guess if Bruton had his way, he would've made Bristol a half mile cookie cutter too. Wait- he still managed to screw that track up too, didn't he? All I am getting at is this: Atlanta International Raceway had personality in its original configuration. Look at the 1992 Hooters 500- to this day it as looked at as maybe the biggest single race in the sport's history! It had the season finale date! Yet, it wasn't good enough. So now we fast forward to 2010- Atlanta was overbuilt when Bruton screwed it up, so now he'd rather try to draw the same crowd he would get here in Las Vegas or Kentucky, whichever track actually gets our "date." Yes, there's a reason the spring Atlanta race didn't sell out. It's called bad weather- why do you think Richmond got moved out of the second week of the season? So now Atlanta has went from having the season finale, to a Chase date, to being the race that SHOULD be the Southern 500, to losing a race. Now someone tell me what the motivation is for a fan to come to Atlanta now, especially now that the soon to be 1 race will be a "meaningless" pre-Chase race?Nascar and Bruton can shove it as far as I am concerned. But if they're gonna screw us, at least do the right thing and flip flop us with the current Darlington date. Give those people the Southern 500 back!
Petty Buick
Current NASCAR
The last Buick Petty Enterprises fielded was in 1981. It MIGHT be possible Kyle ran one during 1982, but i believe they both ran Pontiacs in '82.
Need your input

Jeff-Is there a way to give them each a section at the top of the page where you have your other tabs (i.e.- make a header that says "Other Series, then allow a drop down box to pick what series page you want to visit?")Just a thought...because I know on HSCR (which I help mod), we have special sections for IROC, ASA, ARCA, Open Wheel, etc. I know they do the same over at TBK as well. While I absolutely think there's a place for those forums, it's also pointless to keep them running independently if the site traffic doesn't support it.
And you think ole D.W. and crew were a law abiding team huh
Stock Car Racing History
Actually, I read in an old issue of Grand National Scene that they got caught at the night race in Bristol. The shot fell out during a pit stop and hit Junior Johnson as Waltrip tore out of the pits (also remember hearing the shot on the tires caused Waltrip to spin out.)
