Phoenix, AZ Social media exploded after grand jury in New York decided that Tony Stewart need not answer any questions regarding death of Kevin Ward because Ward had enough marijuana in his system to cloud judgment.

Ventura, CA Wings on tiny Seaside Park was spectacle to be seen. After expansion from fifth to quarter mile in 1. World of Outlaws personnel Andy Hillenburg was one performed feasibility study and pronounced Ventura too tight. Two decades later, King of the West Series needed someplace near Santa Maria and convinced Jim Naylor to roll the dice. He drew nice crowd, though first turn bleachers were far from packed.
