And, right now, I'm a winner...
If this doesn't set NASCAR fandom back a good 400 years or so, the HQ doesn't know what will...
Peter Daut got to hang out in the infield at TMS...
Maybe he shoulda called TMZ...

87-Year-Old Dies During TMS Ride Along
((HT: KTVT-TV Dallas/Hernandez))
And that's really only half of what's going on here...
Don "Fred" Krusemark died after a high-performance Corvette driven by Andre Vandenberg, an employee with the Texas Driving Experience, crashed his car into a retaining wall during a two-seat ride-along at Texas Motor Speedway in Dallas.
Krusemark's daughter, Carol Young, has now gotten in touch with lawyers since the Experience hasn't given her as much as word one since the accident on the 15th of this month.
Selena Hernandez of KTVT-TV in Dallas caught up with Young...
It seems to the HQ that the TDE is circling its wagons- and has been ever since the accident in the first place. We can only hope that Young gets some answers...
And, yes, that Vandenberg gets better as well...

Eddie Gossage and radio DJ play early April Fools Joke
Not only did they play a joke...a whole lot of media types bought it...hook, line and sinker.
Gossage, the president of Texas Motor Speedway and Dallas DJ Terry Dorsey of KSCS-FM radio played off of each other and claimed that the Speedway would pay Dorsey $100,000 to legally change his name to TexasMotorSpeedway.com.
Really, I'm not sure that I can explain the set up other than Gossage posted something on his Facebook page about it and Dorsey spoke of it on the air...the rest, kind of took a life of its own.
One of the early buyers on the story...the 4-letter...Check out the story RIGHT HERE
((Terry Dorsey laughs//Courtesy: KSCS Radio))
If you read the story, they reported on this as legit, though they did have some questions about it, harkening back to a series of April fool's stunts that both have pulled. If you have a minute, do a Google search on the story. ESPN pulled the original story posted by their ESPNDallas blogger Terry Blount.
However, FOX News didn't pull theirs. Check it out RIGHT HERE...bwahahahaha!
For that matter, it is still on the NBCDFW.com website...RIGHT HERE
We aren't sure what is funnier here. The fact that Dorsey and Gossage went to some length to play the gag or the fact that so many people bought it that they had to issue an official apology. Either way...we laugh, at the duo for their creativity and we laugh at our so-called peers who didn't read between the lines.
Since there doesn't seem to be a TV story on...the story, enjoy an old interview that Gossage did on KCSC back in 2008. Thanks You Tube:
