Ready … Set … Write!
Clinton, S.C., Tuesday, January 28, 2014, 9:19 a.m. Charlotte seems as far away as Sochi, and likely as cold, on this last week of January. For 20 years, the hustling-and-bustling, head-‘em-up-move-‘em-out NASCAR Media Tour occupied my time damn near completely. … Continue reading
Keselowski Comes in from the Cold
[cb_profit_poster sponsor1]Clinton, S.C., Sunday, October 13, 2013, 12:02 p.m. I just got finished with a nice, long guitar session, the kind where I play songs I haven’t played in so long that I’m about to lose them, some of which … Continue reading
