OK. I didn't take this picture. It is a great shot I got from Yahoo (AP/Manuel Balce Ceneta). But it does show the post-9/11 GI Bill NASCAR and our driver, Landon Cassill, outside the Department of Veterans Affairs building on Vermont Avenue, NW, in Washington, DC this morning. I didn't go to the 10:00 a.m. event, but the car was still there when I went out for lunch and I peered into it. The one thing I did notice: no lights. There are decals of lights where the headlights, taillights, etc., should be. And the car interior is totally different -- red metal pipe labelled "fuel line" running from back to front, fire extinguisher, and only one cage-like seat for the driver. I thought of Anne and her family down in Mooresville, NC, with many of the NASCAR racing team HQs. This car is for TRG Motorsports, which is based in Mooresville. "Our car" and Landon will be racing in Richmond, VA, this Saturday night in a nationally televised Sprint Cup race. Watch for #71!! This car is using half of the $1 million budgeted for GI Bill promotion.
