Racing S Heritage: Winning Both On And Off The Track
The adage is probably as old as stock-car racing itself: Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday. But, is that axiom as pertinent today as it was, say, in the 1960s. Ford, which for the first time in nearly four decades, has introduced an all-new model and gone NASCAR racing with it at the same time, is confident that the answer is yes, if not on Monday, then at least as soon as you re looking for a new car. Fusion replaces Taurus as the Ford entry into NASCAR s Nextel Cup and Busch series, becoming the manufacturer s first all-new nameplate to debut simultaneously on the racetrack and in the showroom since Torino in 1968. Torino s debut 38 years earlier resulted in a driver s championship for NASCAR Hall-of-Famer David Pearson, and more than 2.6 million units sold during its eight-year 1968-75 run.

26, 2004 - began like most other days for Venkateshwarlu, a fisherman in the seaside village of Pallepalem, India. He had just finished a long night of fishing and was on the damp, cold beach washing his nets when he saw the water rise up. A huge wave took my boat out to sea, Venkateshwarlu said of the tsunami, the result of a massive earthquake that hit off the coast of Indonesia s Sumatra island. The quake and resulting tsunami ultimately could claim more than 200,000 lives in Asia and Africa. Venkateshwarlu said he escaped by running for his life. But the wave left his boat, the source of his livelihood, in tatters. The second wave deposited it on the rocks, he said. It has three holes in it and my nets are destroyed . I m currently doing a temporary caulking job on my boat so it can become watertight again. Although Pallepalem escaped...
