Day 1 of the media tour is in the books and it was pretty uneventful. NASCAR CEO Brian France said there would be no major changes for the upcoming season, a move I agree with. There has been just too much for fans to keep up with over the last few years and I think France realizes that turns people away. Just look at the ratings.

Central, Marlboro, Darlington and South Florence all suffer losses last week - so how does that effect the rankings this week?

Sitting here in my hotel room ready for the annual NASCAR media tour in Charlotte, N.C., to begin. Hard to believe it’s my sixth one of these. The idea for the media tour was started 26 years ago by Lowe’s Motor Speedway president H.A. “Humpy” Wheeler in order to get more publicity for the sport. Now, more than 200 media members from across the country attend this. It’s a good way to meet with all the drivers and teams to get a feel for the upcoming season, which begins in Daytona next month.

On a back road, located next to the vocational school for the disabled and across the street from the national cemetery, lives a man that hasn’t had a vocation in years. Millions of kids dream of the playing in the NFL and winning a Super Bowl ring, but for Clayton Holmes, who fulfilled that dream, he realized it was actually hollow.

We’ve hit the midway point of the college basketball regular season. And like the mid-semester of a college term, I am handing out grades to Clemson, South Carolina and Coastal Carolina. With any luck by the end of their conference play, they’ll still be around for their final exams.

At the beginning of January, here’s how I see the Terrific 13 for the Pee Dee and Grand Strand in boys basketball.
