It Was What It Was
Legendtorial for August 11, 2015
In this Legendtorial, we're going to talk about the long-awaited return of Pennsboro Speedway. But first...remember last year when I did a Legendtorial about the two most popular phrases in...

The End Is Near
Some time ago, in fact years back I believe, there was a picture made famous worldwide. If memory serves (and that is doubtful at best), the picture was taken in Times Square in New York. A man,...
The Original Truck Series
The original truck series began long before NASCAR's current Camping World Truck Series. Picture it: Riverside, California, 1983 (OK, I promise that is my last “Golden Girls” or any other pop-culture reference in this...
Legendtorial for July 28, 2015
This week's Legendtorial asks, Are We Having Fun. Just before last week's show was to begin, I asked Jeff to mute the studio microphones so I could let tell him something I would prefer not being made public for...
Friday Night Lights
Legendtorial for July 21, 2015
No, no, this has nothing to do with the book, movie, or television series about High School Football in Texas. You know about High School Football in Texas, right? More Holy that Joel Osteen's...
It's History
Legendtorial for July 14, 2015

How Do I Accurately Title This?
Legendtorial for July 7, 2015
Folks, I guess you're going to have to come up with what you feel is the appropriate title for this Legendtorial. I am at a loss as to what words I can properly use in this now...
Legendtorial for June 30, 2015
The Legendtorial for tonight is sort of mish-mosh of observations over the past couple of weeks and things I just want to get off my chest. No, I'm not going to get involved in all the political goings-on that are...

Pass It On Down the Line
It's still early, by some standards, on a Sunday morning. This particular Sunday morning is significant for others in that it is celebrated as "Fathers' Day". Last month it was Mothers'...
My Perspective - The Fall of NASCAR
Growing up, I was mesmerized by the sport of NASCAR. It was sports all the time at home: one TV would have baseball, another football, and the little four incher had NASCAR. There was other racing out there,...

Writer's Block
This has been one of those weeks when racing really took a back seat to other things going on in my life. Last week I had the pleasure of teaching music to 74 kids, ages 4 to 12, at our church's...

Bring me the Broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West
I don't remember how old I was when I first saw The Wizard of Oz, but I do recall that I was totally enthralled by the movie from the beginning. I have...

Six Hundred Memories
Calm down Jeff. I mean memories of some of the World 600s, NOT actually a count of 600 memories. Not going to be that wordy tonight so don't go trying to mute me or otherwise prevent me from...
