Editor’s Note

A quick correction from yesterday’s show: I mentioned several times that last night’s World of Outlaws feature at Millstream Speedway paid 12,000 dollars to win — that feature of course paid 17,000 dollars to win. That one slipped through the five-hole somehow; cannot catch them all.
