		Should the Canadian Grand Prix prove to be a wet event, Ferrari in particular are expected to make best of the conditions as historically Bridgestone hold the upper hand in such conditions.
		This weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix could be hit by heavy rain according to the latest weather forecasts from both the and The Weather Channel.
		While the build up to Friday practice is predicted to be sunny and dry, there remains a chance that all three days of on track action could be hit by rain.

	Darrell Waltrip - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1995, Waltrip built a Craftsman Truck Series team, and found success by 1997, when Rich Bickle finished second in overall season standings and winning three races, and made Waltrip one of a few car owners to have won races in NASCAR's three national series.
		A week after NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt was killed at Daytona in 2001, Waltrip interviewed NASCAR President Mike Helton for a pre-race segment during the broadcast at North Carolina Speedway (Rockingham).

	Profiles in Racing ~ Steve Park
		That might have had something to do with Sports Illustrated naming Steve Park as one of the ten drivers to watch in 1997, and they would be right!
		Steve, like so many other drivers, was "Born to racing" as they say, and grew up in a racing family.
		It certainly appeared that young Steve Park was ready for the "big time", and in 1998, Dale Earnhardt Inc. entered into its first full year of Winston Cup racing, with Steve Park at the helm.

		First there’s the Dodger and Twins cans, a must for the true sports collector, even though there will always be discussion whether these are TRUE sports-related cans.
		If you have sports cans in a separate display, it looks great to have some of these older sports-related tabs, flats, and cones scattered among the aluminum.
		And most of the new ones have been from Miller, who seems to have taken over from Coors in the sports can field.
