Kentucky Speedway Preferred Line - March 12, 2010

The engines of NASCAR's three major series have exited stage left and are leaving the IZOD IndyCar Series season-opener in Sao Paulo, Brazil in the center stage spotlight this week.

Read on for a preview of the IZOD IndyCar Series Brazil race, our Drive Smart! Tip of the Week and to learn more about our upcoming Drive the Track Sale and poll question!

DRIVE SMART TIP O' THE WEEK: DON'T PRESS YOUR LUCK ON ST. PATRICK'S DAY
For many Americans, St. Patrick's Day has become a popular night out to celebrate with friends and family. Unfortunately, the celebration often leads to drunken driving and needless tragedy. In 2008, there were 134 crash fatalities on St. Patrick's Day. Thirty-seven percent of those crashes involved an impaired driver and/or motorcyclist with a BAC of .08 and higher. Driving impaired is simply not worth the risk. Not only do you risk killing yourself and others, but the trauma and financial costs of a crash or an arrest for driving while impaired can be significant. Don't press your luck this St. Patrick's Day. Drive Smart by designating your sober driver before the party begins.

KURT BUSCH PLUCKS HIS FIRST NASCAR SPRINT CUP SERIES VICTORY OF 2010 IN ATLANTA
Penske Racing driver and 2004 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Kurt Busch earned his first victory of the 2010 season and the 21st of his career in his 332nd start since 2000 at Atlanta Motor Speedway on March 7. The 11-season veteran survived two attempts at a green-white-checkered flag finish before he rolled his No. 2 Penske Racing car across the finish line 0.482 of a second ahead of Roush Fenway competitor Matt Kenseth. Earnhardt Ganassi Racing driver Juan Pablo Montoya placed third while Richard Petty Motorsports drivers Kasey Kahne and Paul Menard took fourth and fifth respectively. Series championship leader Kevin Harvick tallied his fourth top-10 finish of the season with a ninth-place showing in Atlanta and retained the top spot in the standings heading to the series March 21 event at Bristol Motor Speedway. The Atlanta victory represented Busch's first top-five and second top-10 finish of the season. The effort helped him advance nine positions in the series standings to 10th. He trails Harvick by 142 points. Kenseth moved from fourth to second in the series standings after snaring his second top-five and fourth top-10 finish of the season. He has earned top-five finishes in two straight events and trails Harvick by 26 points. Montoya advanced five spots in the series standings to 21st at Atlanta with his first top-five and second top-10 finish of the season. His previous season-best finish was 10th in the Daytona 500. He finished 37th in events held at Auto Club Speedway and Las Vegas Motor Speedway. He trails Harvick by 226 points. Kahne picked up six positions in the series standings after taking his first top-five and second top-10 finish of the season in the Peach State. He has taken top-10 race finishes in two straight events after finishing ninth at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. He trails Harvick by 197 points. Menard earned the second top-five NASCAR Sprint Cup Series finish of his seven-year series career and first top-10 finish of the season in Atlanta. He took his series career-best second-place finish at Talladega Superspeedway on October 5, 2008. The Atlanta race saw 31 lead changes among 13 drivers and 11 caution periods that ate up 53 race laps. The most notable caution occurred on Lap 324 when Roush Fenway Racing's Carl Edwards No. 99 car intentionally clipped the rear of Brad Keselowski's No. 12 Penske Racing machine. The No. 12 became airborne before landing on the speedway surface. Neither driver was seriously injured in the incident. NASCAR officials placed Edwards on probation for three races as a result of the incident. Edwards finished 39th in the race and slipped from 10th to 20th in the series standings. Keselowski was credited with a 36th-place Atlanta finish and fell from 30th to 33rd in the standings. The series will take the week off before doing battle at Bristol Motor Speedway on March 21. Kyle Busch earned a March Bristol victory last season after Mark Martin started from the pole position. Race coverage begins at 1:00 p.m. (EST), on FOX. Performance Racing Network radio and Sirius XM Radio 128 coverage will begin at noon. Series standings: http://tinyurl.com/NSCS-Standings.

Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Sprint Cup Series star Kevin Harvick earned his seventh career NASCAR Camping World Truck Series victory by 1.308 seconds over Joe Gibbs Racing Sprint Cup Series young gun Kyle Busch on March 6 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Both Harvick and Busch scored their top-five finishes in trucks they own. Billy Ballew Motorsports drivers Aric Almirola and Steve Wallace claimed third and fourth respectively while Germain Racing's Todd Bodine rounded out the race top five. Bodine moved from second to the lead in the series standings with his second top-five and top-10 finish of the season. The 2006 series champion, who has placed in the top four in the final series standings in each of the previous five seasons, opened the 2010 campaign with a second-place showing at Daytona International Speedway. Daytona winner and former championship leader Timothy Peters earned his second top-10 finish of the season with a seventh-place Atlanta finish. He slipped to second in the standings and will trail Bodine by four points entering the series March 27 event at Martinsville Speedway. Harvick started his first series event of the season. He ranks 20th in the series standings and trails Bodine by 120 points. Busch vaulted 17 spots in the series standings to fifth by collecting his first top-five and top-10 finish of the season through two starts. He sits 68 points back of Bodine. Almirola gained four positions in the series standings by knocking out his first top-five and top-10 finish of the season. He will trail Bodine by 48 points when the series takes the green flag at Martinsville. Wallace also made his first series start of the season in Atlanta. He ranks 25th in the championship standings and is 175 points off Bodine's leading pace. Martinsville race coverage will begin at 1:30 p.m. (EST), on SPEED Channel, Motor Racing Network radio and Sirius XM Radio 128.

A man had two of the best seats at the Kentucky basketball game

A man had two of the best seats at the Kentucky basketball game.As he sits down, another man comes along and asks if anyone is sitting in the seat next to him. "No", he says, "the seat is empty." "This is incredible!" said the man, "who in their right mind would have a seat like this for a Kentucky basketball game, and not use it?" He says, "Well, actually, the seat belongs to me. My wife was supposed to come with me, but she passed away. This is the first KY game we haven't been together since we've been married." "Oh ... I'm sorry to hear that. That's terrible. I guess you couldn't find someone else, a friend or relative or even a neighbor to take the seat?" The man shakes his head.... "No. They're all at the funeral."

Woman fires Shots At Husband Over Income tax Refund Money

A suburban St. Louis woman has been arrested for allegedly shooting at her husband. The incident reportedly occurred because he would not give her any money from an Income Tax Refund Check. According to investigators, the woman followed her husband, a local Barber, to his place of work, a Pine Lawn, Mo. Barber Shop. When the Husband refused to give up any of the Tax Refund Money. the woman opened fire inside the Barber Shop.

After the shooting the woman reportedly drove to St. Louis, where she threw the gun down into the sewer system. She later turned herself in to Pine Lawn Police, after they had contacted her.             

Assistant Police Chief, Daniel O'Connor Said, "the woman felt more than justified about the shooting". The woman's husband was not hit by any of the gunfire.

Cats get important win at Vanderbilt 58-56

John Wall showed once again why he is Kentucky's go to guy, when  he sank a pair of free throws with 20 seconds left and had a big blocked shot to give No. 2 Kentucky a 58-56 win over No. 17 Vanderbilt on Saturday night.

"Somebody steps up," DeMarcus Cousins said of his teammate Wall, who had 13 points. "Maybe he doesn't score 20-plus points, he still is going to make key plays down the stretch, which helps the team."

Kentucky (26-1, 11-1 SEC), which beat Vanderbilt 85-72 on Jan. 30, grabbed a two-game lead over the Commodores in the SEC East and dealt them their first home loss this season. It was the first time the Wildcats swept the regular season series since 2005.

Wall's free throws gave the Wildcats a 57-53 lead, but John Jenkins answered with a 3-pointer to pull Vanderbilt (20-6, 9-3) within a point.

Kentucky's Eric Bledsoe missed a pair of free throws, but Wall responded by blocking a 3-pointer by Jenkins on the other end and grabbing the ball.

"He just fought his way," Kentucky coach John Calipari said of Wall. "That will to win, refuse to lose."

He made one of two free throws for a two-point lead with 2.5 seconds to play, and the Commodores had one more chance.

A.J. Ogilvy caught a long in-bounds pass by Darshawn McClellan, but his runner in the lane bounced off the rim at the buzzer.

"It was set up for A.J. to take the ball and for me to sprint to the basket, so I could lay it in," Vanderbilt's Jeffery Taylor said. "It just didn't work out."

Cousins led Kentucky with 19 points and Patrick Patterson chipped in 13.

ABOUT THE SHOW
Live Nation is proud to present Tim McGraw and his band, the Dancehall Doctors live in concert with special guests Lady Antebellum and The Lost Trailers on Friday, February 26th at Rupp Arena. Show starts at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

With Southern Voice, McGraw once again pushes the bounds of his artistry with characteristic honesty, grit and soul, qualities that have throughout history exemplified the Southern voice. Recorded in Nashville with his longtime producer, Byron Gallimore (Faith Hill, Sugarland), Southern Voice is McGraw's first studio album in two and a half years, following Let It Go, which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 in April of 2007.

"I'm real excited to have this opportunity to hit the road next year with the 'Southern Voice' tour and look forward to playing new songs and old favorites for all my fans," says McGraw.

McGraw has sold over 40 million units and dominated the charts with 30 #1 singles. He's won three GRAMMYs, 14 Academy of Country Music Awards, 11 Country Music Association Awards, 10 American Music Awards, three People's Choice Awards and numerous other awards.

Lady Antebellum bursted on to the country music scene with the release of their now PLATINUM certified debut on Capitol Records Nashville in 2008, which spawned the hit singles "Love Don't Live Here" and "Lookin' For A Good Time" as well as the GOLD certified #1 smash "I Run To You." With their wins for Vocal Group Of The Year and Single of The Year for "I Run To You" at this years CMAs, Lady Antebellum continues to take the country music world by storm.

Outback Steakhouse will present the "Southern Voice" tour and the Fritos brand from Frito-Lay is associate tour sponsor. Sharing McGraw's commitment to helping others,

Outback Steakhouse, the innovative restaurant chain, and Fritos, one of America's most loved brands, see the partnership as yet another opportunity to strengthen the communities they are part of. The two sponsors will join forces with Tim to raise funds for The Neighbor's Keeper Fund of the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, a charitable fund created by Tim and his wife, Faith Hill.

"This partnership is truly a natural fit as Outback and Tim both share the commitment and passion of giving back to our communities," says Jeff Smith, president of Outback Steakhouse, which will also raise funds along the tour route for Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA) and other local charities.
