Country Living Association Strikes Gold
The Country Living Association has a new sponsor and has started a one minute radio show which they’re trying to syndicate nationally.

New Michael Peterson Website
Michael Peterson has a new website. His agency called today and asked if I would do a post about it and I said, “Sure.” I like Mike. As I’m sure you must know by now, Michael has been involved with a CD promotion for over a year now. So that’s why when you visit his site you’ll see a little …
IFAJ Trailer on YouTube
You know I’m a big fan of the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists (IFAJ) so when I saw a link to an “IFAJ Trailer” I had to YouTube it for you.

Jeff Simmons After Qualifying
It’s the end of the day for me here at Kansas Speedway. The Indy car qualifying is over now and Jeff Simmons got through it okay. His qualifying time is 210.994 MPH. That ethanol fuel definitely has a kick. After they qualify the drivers all come by the IRL Bull Pen for pics and interviews. Of course I interviewed Jeff. …
Ethanol Fuel Tankers
Special tankers are on location here at Kansas Speedway to fill the Indy Cars with ethanol. These are set up right next to the regular fueling station.
