A society that makes a priority of remembering and honoring those who are a part of its past is a society that has gone a long way toward progress. Such a society will surely thrive and, at worst, continue to exist.

This Labor Day holiday is my favorite, because of my obvious bias in favor of working people. The moneyed rich could not live their outrageous lifestyle without the toil of the rest of us; forgive me if I sound like a wild-eyed radical for a moment. But my admiration for those who work at what they do and excel at it as well is considerable. And when a worker overcomes great obstacles and still excels, then my admiration increases even more so. That particular worker on this holiday weekend would have been young Daron Clayton, who came from deep in the field to take home the gold and the glory at Tri-State Speedway on Saturday night, September 2. One could say that the event, the first co-sanctioned by USAC and MSCS, was a resounding success and one can hope that more of the same is in the future. And if these events take place at Tri-State, the crown jewel of Indiana race tracks, nestled in the southwest corner of our great state, so much the better. read more »

Maybe Saturday night’s race wasn’t the best or the closest race I’ve ever seen, at the Tri-State Speedway or anywhere else, but it was certainly close to the best I’ve ever seen. Jon Stanbrough bided his time as he worked his way forward to take round three of Indiana Sprint Week at the Helfrich family’s crown jewel of a race track. read more »
