As heard on Lite 98.7's information update with Kristine Bellino, 37-year-old Jason Leffler, a two-time winner on the NASCAR Nationwide Series was pronounced dead shortly after 9 p.m. Wednesday night (June 12th, 2013) after a tragic accident.

Imagine trying to fly a jet fighter in a toilet bowl.  That's one of the ways the NASCAR races at the half mile concrete track in Bristol, Tennesse have been described.  This weeked, they'll be racing in Bristol, also known as Thunder Valley, and I can't wait.

Daytona is a magical place. During the final laps of the Daytona 500, we completely forget about the first 490 miles. And during this season’s Great American Race, the first 490 were pretty easy to forget.
