007_fan,

AP style, which the Sun uses, recommends using Eastern Standard Time.

Sorry, but my wife doesn't follow NASCAR and newspapers can't afford interns.

Spartacus84....Your assessment of the COT is on the money, but I think the current state of the racing at Bristol has more to do with the resurfacing of the track than with the COT.

Thanks,

Mike

Wow, "The King" as Michael Jackson? That's a cartoon that would get people stirred up.

Tony as a fat Elvis? That would be a good cartoon.

Very funny. Someone once suggested they should put his sister in the car and call her the Intimidatress.

That's not me.

I haven't offered an opinion yet regarding the recent news about Mayfield. I was taking issue with the way you inaccurately characterized the language that I used.

I don't have access to the court documents regarding today's ruling. As a result, I had to rely on reporting that was done by reputable news organizations that cover Sprint Cup racing. When I wrote "according to published reports" I was not suggesting that the reporting was sketchy. Rather, it was a way of communicating to my readers that this information was not based on news that was gathered by my own reporting. To claim that I was attempting to "shade" the news is false.

In addition, I frequently use the phrase "As you know..." when discussing news that I think my readers are already familiar with. I'm trying to give my readers, who I assume are knowledgeable about NASCAR, the credit they deserve. I'm not suggesting that my readers have firsthand knowledge of the "truth." I'm acknowledging that they are familiar with the news event that I am discussing.
