What are the odds—considering NASCAR’s arrival at Las Vegas this week—that top-10 drivers in a couple of the sport’s three national tours would camp out in the same place?
The fact that two of the three current championship leaders shared a campsite—that’s right, not a hotel suite or spaces in a trackside coach lot, but around the campfire—at the famed Glamis dunes in Southern California provides a true jackpot.

Joe does say the optional front wing is mandatory for speeds over 125 mph.

Racing quads is a family affair for the Tedescos of West Leechburg.
Leslie Tedesco’s oldest daughter, Zara, 9, races competitively, as does her middle son, Tommy, 7. The youngest son, Carlo, 5, rides for fun and wants to start competing.
So it should come as no surprise that Tedesco supports legislation introduced in the U.S. House this week that seeks to stop a federal “lead law” from effectively banning the sale of kids’ dirt bikes, all-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles beginning May 1.
“It’s their life. That’s all we do,” Tedesco said Wednesday. “That’s our family time. We all travel together. That’s our life. I don’t think we’d know what to do with ourselves. We’re racing from  … More
