Drivers pleased with Goodyear after Darlington test: Elliott Sadler
had no complaints for Goodyear, only for those drivers griping about
the manufacturer. When asked what it meant that at least a dozen
competitors faced tire trouble at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sunday,
Sadler was quick with a response: "Yeah, but there were 37 others that
didn't," he said Tuesday at Darlington Raceway. Sadler and fellow
Sprint Cup racers Marcos Ambrose and Clint Bowyer came to the track
"Too Tough To Tame" to shake out the dormant raceway and give Goodyear
some insight about which tire to bring to the Southern 500 in May.

Joey Logano donates sleds to U.S. Paralympic hockey team: NASCAR
driver Joey Logano has teamed up with a local ice skating rink to help
fund the U.S. Paralympic sled hockey team. The team's sleds were in
rough shape. So, Logano's charity, along with the Extreme Ice Center
in Indian Trail, developed new, state-of-the-art sleds. "It's just
like a racecar, you know. You're at the shop trying to build the best
equipment you can take to the track and that's the same thing we tried
for them -- build them the best sled we can get out there for them,"
Logano said. (WCNC.com)
