and the winner for the spinner is Ryan Newman

HOORAY!!! Ty Norris of MWR is one of the biggest ---es I ever met in motorsports. Had to throw him and his little girlfriend out of my Richmond press box back in the 90s when he first took the RJR Winston PR job. He had the audacity to bring this bimbo into a WORKING press box and have her take the assigned seat of a daily newspaper filer. He was a sneak then and still a sneak.

While they're at it, they better check their fuel samples from all three MWR cars!!!

Now, suspend Clint Bowyer and Michael Waltrip for the remainder of the season.

Maybe if they keep working at it, NASCAR can eliminate enough drivers to get their GoGirl in the Chase!!!

The old oak trees in the infield midway along the backstretch and heading toward turn three are visible in this Adolph Rice Studio aerial of the Atlantic Rural Exposition track at Richmond.

And here's Runt Harris on the same Strawberry Hill / A.R.E. Richmond track wheeling Junie Donlavey's famed Swansboro Motor Company #90 on April 8, 1952. That ride would be taken over for a number of years by Sonny Hutchins for Junie.
