In Weiter Ferne, So Nah!

Betty White vs. NASCAR The Lady In Black did her level best to leave no one unscathed at last night’s Southern 500 at Darlington.

The long shadow of Jimmie Johnson looms over the Talladega Superspeedway. It doesn’t feel right. The excitement has been whisked away like the autumn…
