The world is feeling a void this morning with the end of the the Michael Jordan documentary “Last Dance.” It kept non-sports fans and sports fans alike on the edge of their seats, even though we all knew how it would end. One story that surprised many last night was the tale about how Michael Jordan was poisoned by a local pizzeria in Salt Lake City while the Chicago Bulls were in town playing the Utah Jazz in the NBA Finals.

Drivers will race Wednesday night on the same track in Darlington. Then they’ll race the same track once again over Memorial Day weekend. DRIVING HOPE
