I’m willing to bet we all know someone, or been the someone, that has blown through an inheritance much too fast.
It’s good times and high cotton at first. The end of the ride seems like it is way down the road. But finally comes the realization that it’s almost all gone. And you better start [...]

In early January we were talking about 200mph qualifying runs and looking at the top 30 all-time qualifying speeds in NASCAR history.
I had come along a particular site, read some information, snagged a photo (crediting them) and we moved on to Daytona.
A few weeks ago, I received an email from Greg Kwiatkowski.

The Buschwhackers.
I’m not sure of the official definition for ‘Buschwhacker’. I think it’s severity and impact differs among race fans.
