You have to wonder how much longer Pocono keeps its second Sprint Cup Series race with neither Mattioli nor Bill France Jr. around to protect it. They're already chopping the races down to 400 miles each.

To lose Benny Phillips and Doc Mattioli in one week ... Daytona can't get here fast enough.

Had to help pull up some bio info for my boss to write a "heartfelt sympathy" letter to the campus community, since he's donated a lot to East Stroudsburg.
