The president ial primary is really republican as far as influencing the national adrian that is because tomorrow s winner automatically gets 29 of the South Carolina delegates and will likely get most of the remaining 21 delegates to the convention.

Dale junior wins a daytona daydreaming along the way and pat he had won four of these daytona qualifying races, so Dale Earnhardt jr. Taking another checkered last night was significant and poignant, because yesterday happened to be the 15th anniversary of his father s death at the very same speedway. It is as all race fans know, the wound that will never completely heal. Dale sr. Was their elvis, so when junior passed denny hamlin with just a few laps to go last night then held on for the win, an otherwise solemn anniversary gave way to a smile or two. Even junior was caught up in it. It is pretty cool, so, and i was daydreaming a little bit. I am daydreaming about winning the race because of the day. It is very special to me.

To perform well. Kenseth with the fifth fasted fastest lap in the second practiuce session today. Magic play tonight for the first time in nine days and a decidedly different complexion when they take the court against the mavs this evening. Tobias harris and Channing Frye are gone.
