The chief judges of the state's 20 circuit courts and Fred Lewis, chief justice of the Florida Supreme Court, paraded before lawmakers to urge them to spare the court system and allow them to make alternative cuts that don't affect the administration of justice.

Daytona 500 shaping up to be a thriller

This Sunday, I think we are headed toward a classic Hendrick/Toyota confrontation.

Another car you should keep an eye on is that No. 22 Caterpillar Toyota Camry, driven by Dave Blaney. I don't think you can underestimate Bill Davis' operation.

Bill Davis has created the standard for Toyota since its conception. We may have been overlooking his due diligence and everybody at Toyota working through this to make the Toyota better. I definitely do not want to sell him short in what he's contributed and what his operation does for Toyota because they have definitely been the cornerstone of this Toyota operation since the beginning.

We've heard about how certain members of the Joe Gibbs organization have contributed but I've also been told recently that it's the same way with Bill's organization.
