Sprint Cup Racing Is Back, But So Is Jimmie Johnson

Sprint Cup Racing Is Back, But So Is Jimmie Johnson

This season, NASCAR has tweaked the points system when it comes to The Chase, changed the qualifying format and reinvented The Chase to 16 drivers making the field.

And now, it seems that if a driver wins in the first 26 races on the schedule, the chances of making The Chase are very likely.

The knock out round format of The Chase is the biggest change. Sixteen drivers will start, but will be down for 12 after the third playoff race, then to eight after the sixth race and down to four after the nine events going into Homestead.

Needed Expansion in Spindale
Needed Expansion in Spindale
 In 2006 Barley’s Taproom Pizzeria opened in downtown Spindale. The restaurant was like stepping back in time. The historic building was built 1920’s and was once “Sloan Drug Store”. The 3500 square foot building was remodeled for an old time feel and the walls were lined with photographs to honor the textile tradition that helped build the town of Spindale.

Listen To Life

Listen To Life

How’s your office?

   Recently I was straightening up my office.  You know how it is, your things get moved around as you work so you put them back where you can find them.

   Well, I noticed that there were some things that I really like that I had put up on top of a bookshelf.  A wood carving from China a friend brought me.  A piece of beautiful pottery.  They were up high where I don’t look that often.  So I moved them down on one of my desks to see them more often.

   Next, I noticed that I had put all of my family’s pictures in my studio.  And that was fine, but they had been there for a while and they had become familiar to that space.  So I moved them out on a desk, facing me, where I can enjoy them more.

   Life is a lot like my office.  Some of the things you say you value may be in a place you don’t look very often so you don’t live out of them.  Or, some of the relationships you say are vital may be so familiar you stop treasuring them.

   This year, move your life around to better reflect your priorities as you listen to life and make a positive life.
