Will Wisconsin Change Its Permissive Drunk Driving Laws?

Wisconsin is the only state in the country where a first-time DUI offense is not a crime. In the notoriously boozy state, a first time citation for driving under the influence will merely get you a ticket.

A pair of Elliotts top Nationwide Series testing

JR Motorsports newest driver, Chase Elliott, was fastest in Nationwide Series testing on Saturday at Daytona International Speedway. Elliott drove his No. 9 NAPA Auto Parts Chevrolet to the top of the charts with a lap of 187.993 MPH.
Elliott has carried the number 9 moniker in most of his racing ventures. The number is somewhat of a family tradition, as his father, former series champion Bill Elliott, used the number for a large part of his storied career, including when he won the NASCAR Cup Series championship in 1988.
Making the day even more memorable for Chase Elliott was the fact that his father was also testing on Saturday for JR Motorsports. The elder Elliott drove the No. 5 Chevrolet that is usually driven by various drivers throughout the season.
Bill proved that he still has what it takes to be successful in NASCAR competition posting the second fastest lap for the day turning a lap of 187.974 MPH, just .005 seconds slower than the lap posted by his son.
JR Motorsports h...

It?s Your 2013 Exit Interview: No. 2 Matt Kenseth

Welcome to From the Marbles' 2013 driver reviews. Here, we're going to critique, praise and bloviate about the top 30 drivers in the 2013 NASCAR season.

We'll refrain from making a remark about how much a change of scenery helped you, Matt, because that's blatantly obvious, isn't it?

For all of the success that you had this season, it feels a bit overshadowed by what happened at Phoenix. It was the worst time -- OK, so maybe Homestead could have been worse -- to have your poorest race of the season. Going toe-to-toe with Jimmie Johnson was suddenly negated with a ill-handling car and an inability to work through traffic.

But it shouldn't. You won seven races. That's two more than you've ever won in a Sprint Cup season, though your tenure with Joe Gibbs Racing certainly didn't get off to an auspicious start with the engine gremlin attack at Daytona. Imagine what would have happened if that would have been your Phoenix downfall.

Yeah, one of those race wins may had been a tad tainted, but it may have been in spite of the overweight rod and not because of it. That explains how the penalty was sharply reduced. You also won the first race of the Chase, and that set the stage for the showdown with the champion.

After two years outside of the top 10 in 2008 and 2009, you've entrenched yourself (again) as a top 10 driver. That's not going to change any time soon.
