I was surprised during our Goat Rodeo broadcast Tuesday night that nobody on our Chat was familiar with the various unusual legal cases in which a longtime NASCAR jewelry store sponsor has been involved during the past three decades.

When I began working with Kyle Petty in 1984, he allowed as to how his wife's engagement ring, supplied by the jewelry store in question, had been confiscated by the FBI as part of a Federal Government investigation.

Without saying anything else, here's a few news article links some may find of interest.
