As we were running along, i felt like okay i need to start make something moves here. Cars are spinning just outside the tryoval with nine laps to go. Kyle busch made heavy contact with the inside retaining wall. He hit it head on. You all right, k. B. . You all right, k. B. . Wheres samantha . She probably does not know hes getting out of the car. Kyle and i have always had this rule since about 2009 that if he gets in any sort of wreck when the spotter says are you okay he has to answer. I heard the spotter say, kyle, are you okay . Kyle are you okay . There was just this long pause and instantly i knew that something was wrong. So i took off. The cockpit shortened up about 12 14 inches. Just the force of all of that going through my body ended up breaking my left foot and break my right leg. The first thing he asked was how was the baby. You know did i feel him kick . And was i okay . He wasnt worried about himself. After he checked out me and the baby he said babe i dont think im going to race tomorrow.

A study finds 1 3 of boomers are providing Financial Support to someone. Sharon epperson is here with us. We are happy when you stop by. Good morning. Good to be here. Those kids can have a major impact on parents around the house, but finances. They can. Our study has found parents with financially independent children are twice as likely to retire as those who have someone living at home or depending on them financially. Whether it is their child or someone else. Is that because you are spending money on the kids or you dont have money to put away. It is a combination of both. You have a 24yearold son living at home and you are paying for groceries 350 a month. Transportation and gas and insurance, 150 a month. Thats 500 you are spending on your kid living at home a month. That is 6,000 a year. Put that money in a 401 k or i. R. A. You could have 12,000 saved for retirement. Thats one side of the equation. The other part of it are these millennials coming home maybe a picture of lazy kids not finding a job. That is not necessary. Look at the Student Loan Debt and enormous amount of Student Loan Debt. When you look at that the studies have found that for every 10,000 in Student Loan Debt 3 more likely to live at home with their parents. Add to that we may be Getting Better terms of the employment picture. Another side, as they get back on track and maybe find a job, they cannot afford housing. That is preventing them from moving out. Lets look at this for both parties here. Help us set up a winning solution. The first thing we need to do is set a time limit. You dont want them living with you forever. No, i dont. You want a plan as to how long they will stay or how long it will take for them to find a job or how long they will be able to stay without paying for some expenses. Figure out a time limit for all of those things. The other thing you want to do is set up and spell out the expectations expectations. Let them know this is not a bed and breakfast. You have to contribute even if you cannot contribute financially right now without a job, here are things you have to do around the house. It is not like teenagers living at home for free. They have it put in something as well. Spell those out. And last thing which is important, have a financial plan. If you dont have a budget if you have not set up a plan for yourself how can you expect your child to do the same . You need to figure out at 20 something, what is my Financial Life going to look like now and what do i want it to look like in the future . As a parent you havent thought about it or put that money away now is the time to do that and think aggressively if you havent saved a lot. Especially at that point because you could be in retirement for decades. It is still a longterm investment. Another thing we found with the study, a lot of parents are not aggressive. If they are putting something away they are conservative. That means putting money in the stock market more than you are comfortable with to catch up. Great insight and advice. Thanks for coming by sharon. Good to be here.

I just i kind of like watch like this. Kind of makes you want to that mustard. Whats the word . Are we going to be able to get out and do grilling today . There will be a lot of good areas. There will also be a lot of not so great areas. Weve got our heaviest rain though down through southern arkansas. This line right through here in arkansas through mississippi through alabama, this is where its going to rain pretty much all day. Kind of a washout. This stuff up here in the northeast, youll see some rain and then it will stop. Youll see some clouds. I think well be dry through the fireworks later on today in new york city. Across elsewhere in the country, it actually looks really nice. In that area i just showed you where the rain is thats where we have flash flood warnings. Weve had up to six inches of rain in tup low, mississippi, so any additional rain is going to obviously create the threat of some flooding. Here we are at 8 00 saturday neat.

As the rainfall totals again, we could see an additional four to five inches of rain through southern arkansas. Jackson, mississippi, could end up with about two to three inches of rain. We also have a threat of stronger storms. These will be scattered storms. The kind if you are outside, you just want to keep an eye to the sky and watch for those popping up.

On monday South Carolina lawmakers will begin debating whether to remove the Confederate Flag from the statehouse. This all after the church shooter. Removing it requires 2 3 vote from both chambers. Earlier this week i sat down with Governor Haley for the First Network interview since her call to remove it. I started to ask her if she has the votes to take down the flag. I dont think this is going to be easy. I dont think that its going to be painless. I do think it will be respectful and it will move swiftly. Reporter enough votes to remove the flag that has been there since 1961. Why did it take such an unthinkable tragedy to muster the political will to do something that so many have said should have been done a long time ago. I dont know why this had to happen. All i will say is we are blessed in a time that you had nine amazing people welcome someone that did not look like them or act like them or sound like them and have them come in and pray with them for an hour and then have him kill them. The compassion and the love and the outpouring across South Carolina and this country should give us all hope. The time has come. Reporter haleys decision spurred swift action. In alabama, the governor ordered Confederate Flags removed. And thenvirginia calling for an end to the flag on license plates. And for haley, it is about more than the flag. You always want to think today is better than yesterday. That were growing as a state and country. When Something Like this happens, you reflect and you say have we changed enough. Reporter now, nikki haley born to indian immigrant parents, talks about being the face of a new south. Beyond bringing down the confederate battle flag how do we prevent . I thought a lot about that. That keeps me up at night. Flag is the beginning. It cannot be the end. The governor says she plans to spend the remainder of her time in the Governors Office going to schools and talking to kids about why she wanted to bring down the flag and talk to kids about Race Relations and spend time doing that. Thinking that might be the way to prevent Something Like what we saw in that church a few wednesdays ago. To go out and start that conversation and start it with kids who are more honest and open. Catch them when theyre pure. If you are heading out this weekend, maybe you are worried about the shark attacks. We have dave malkoff with the Weather Channel to show us how worried you should be. Reporter a call to 911 seconds after a shark bite is serious business. In less than three weeks, sharks attacked people over and over in North Carolina. Seven in all. More bites than there should be in average year. Were North Carolina natives. Reporter then why did we find this family. A dad and son. Reporter in the shark tank just a couple dozen miles from last weekends attack. It is a little intimidating at first. If you stay in your space, you have not problems. Reporter the reason people feel comfortable swimming with sharks the odds are against them. 1 in 3. 7 million chance. You are likely to get killed by something mundane out there. Being killed about a freak fireworks accident is about 1,000 more likely than a killer shark attack. You are more likely to be struck by lightning. Reporter a bolt striking you dead is 4,600 more likely than a shark taking a fatal bite. We dont go out and attack animals. Whether a shark or anything else. Got bit by a shark. Reporter still the seven shark attacks happened to real people. Not abstract numbers. Its still a shark. Reporter although your afternoon bike ride is 76,000 more dangerous than encountering a hungry shark here at the North Carolina aquarium or out in the ocean we all share.

If you are in saltwater, you are most likely about 100 yards away from a shark at anytime. Im going in the pool. In chicago this weekend, it is the end of the remarkable 50year run for one of the most legendary bands of rock. The grateful dead and the deadheads who have followed them on tour for five decades. Here is nbcs john yang. Reporter what a long strange trip its been. This weekend, the grateful dead says it is the end of the road. Three soldout shows at Soldier Field in chicago. A sea of tiedye. Tens of thousands of famously dedicated fans known as deadheads. How many dead concerts have you been to . 320. 420. Thats a rough guess. More than you can probably count. Reporter its not they want to hear the same thing over and over again. No show was ever alike. Every show was different. That was part of the bond with the band. Every night will be an experience we will have together. Reporter grateful dead fans will tell you it is not just about the performance, although they love the music, but it is also about the experience the scene before and after the concerts. A group they call the family. Religious experience. If you get it you get it. If you dont, sorry. I mean its the best thing ever. Reporter for those recall when the dead began in the 60s, to those barely born when the band last played in 1995. Reporter the iconic frontman jerry garcia died. There are deadheads.

Is everyone ready . All right. Lets go doggies are all ready. I like how you modified that. Humans can only get through. That was awesome. Thats hard to get fenway to jump over that. These are harder on the humans or dogs . It depends on the dog. Okay. As you can see, it is mental stimulation for the dog. It takes them a while to get used to humans. Just to get used to the equipment. They are usually worn out at the end which is what you want. You want a workout in and you are wearing them out. You feel better about leaving them while youre at work. A tired dog is a good dog. How many people have in a class . Generally ten or more. You do the classes in the park. So it depends on the day and weather. And certain type of dog that performs better than others . Depends on the fitness level. Labs are more active dogs. We modify it for all levels. Fenway wants to sleep in the shade while were working. It doesnt harm our workout. Great way to bond with your dog and not feel guilty. Angie, thanks for coming in.

It has been around for a long time in alabama at big bobs. I heard about it from jeff morrow. This is a whole chicken and sugar and salt. That is for the brine. Olive oil and mayo and Apple Cider Vinegar and fresh thyme and black and white pepper. This is a recipe that has been around for a long time at big bobs. What they do is grill the chicken. Do we have to brine it first . Yes. I have a one, two, three recipe. One of something, two of something, three of something. Brine, one pint of water. Two tablespoons of sugar. Three tablespoons of salt. Simple. How long . Eight hours to overnight. You multiply the amount of brine. I struggle with butterflying the chicken. I want to show you how to do it. The cool thing is not only is it a cool way to serve to the guests but even and faster cooking. If you just roast the bottom of the chicken, it is gummy. You want to look for the neck. That is the backbone. On either side cut down the back. Oh, wow. You make it look easy. Very good kitchen scissors all the way down to the back. Now we have done one side. Im a lefty. I like to go down the other side. I have been doing this a long time. Hold on to the neck and the back. A lot of times i save these in the freezer and render them down and make a gravy. That comes out. You can take a knife and go right in the center and hit that and crack that breastbone to flatten it out or flip it over and use the weight of your body to press it down. Neck . Like a massage. There you go. You heard that. So brush that with a bit of oil. You get that on the grill. How long should the chicken sit out before you throw it on the grill . That is the tip of the day. A lot of people wonder what happens when they put it on the grill and it is not cooked inside. You can leave the meat on the kitchen counter for up to two hours.
