One small word in a new child-safety law — ‘any’ — is causing big problems with motorcycle and ATV products across the country.

At age 12, Jacqueline Riess is already a two-time state Supercross champion, at times racing motorcycles against women two or three times her age.

The 30-year-old Busch led 234 of 330 laps in the Kobalt Tools 500, surviving a couple of scrapes with the wall and a late caution to pull away for a 0.332-second victory over Jeff Gordon.

Pole-sitter Mark Martin, who had become the second-oldest driver in Cup history to claim the top spot in qualifying, had another rough day …  Details
