What a day for LylesIt’s good to be Jordan Lyles these days.
What can you say about the Hartsville standout. He gets to graduate from high school and also get selected in the Major League Baseball draft by the Houston Astros on the same day.

Lackluster racing and NASCAR’s bad boyThe first race on Darlington’s new surface wasn’t definitely one to remember.
Sure there were a lot of lead of lead changes, 35 among 15 drivers, but it lacked the drama and excitement the previous two weeks at Talladega and Richmond were.
A lap round The Lady in Black
I have always wondered what it would be like to take a lap Darlington Raceway with a NASCAR driver and I was able to do that Saturday.
Former driver Brett Bodine, who drives the pace car for every Cup race, took me and a few other media members around the Lady in Black in a 2008 Dodge Challenger before Saturday’s race.

Crazy night at Darlington
If last night's Nationwide race was any indication, then today's Dodge Challenger 500 should be a wild ride.

Tiger or the field?It’s a question that is out there every time Tiger Woods tees off in a golf tournament Take Tiger of take the field.
It’s a tough one that’s for sure.

Lady in Black gets it rightMany drivers were worried when they heard Darlington Raceway was going to get resurfaced.
Perhaps they looked at how things got messed up when the same thing happened at Lowe's Motor Speedway and Las Vegas Motor Speedway in recent years.

NASCAR fantasy focusI admit it I’m a fantasy sports freak.
Whether it’s the NFL, NBA, Major League Baseball or the PGA Tour, I try to get my hand in as much as possible.
This year is the first year I have gotten involved in a competitive NASCAR league and I’m off to a decent start. I’m fifth out of a 16 teams.

South needs GregoryIf you had to question Dishone Gregory's value to the South Florence basketball team, all you had to do was watch Tuesday's game against Conway.
Gregory, one of the top scorers in the Pee Dee, had to miss the first half because of disciplinary reasons.

FMU women’s hoops on the right trackAfter covering my first Francis Marion women’s basketball game of the year, I was impressed by the impact Heather Macy has had on the program.
The first-year coach has the Patriots off to a 15-2 start, ranked in the top 25 and leading the Peach Belt conference standings. Macy, who turned a Pfeiffer program in three years, is on her way restoring a once-proud Patriot program, which hasn’t won a conference tournament crown since 1998.

There is West and South Florence and Lamar and Timmonsville.

Roush at it againThere is never a dull moment when Jack Roush speaks.
In the final session of the Sprint Cup media tour, the longtime car owner took some of the blame for not having his team up to par with the Car of Tomorrow. His teams won just two, both by Carl Edwards, of the 16 COT races.
Just one of the boys
I got to admit walking into Hendrick Motorsports and seeing Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the stage with Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon was a little strange.
When Earnhardt announced he was leaving DEI for Hendrick, I didn't know how he would fit in with his more polished teammates. But after seeing him in action, I don't think he is going to have any problem fitting in. He has done the right things so far all the way down from wearing and tucking in his button-down shirt.
