ACC Tournament Update

By Howard Platt on May 24, 2013

Thursday’s results in the ACC Baseball Tournament in Durham on the second day had Virginia bouncing back from a first day loss with an 8-2 win over Georgia Tech.  North Carolina routed Miami 10-0 in a ten run rule eight inning game, and Virginia Tech edging Florida State 3-2 in the nightcap.  The loss pretty much will eliminate the Second Seeded Seminoles when the pool play numbers are figured for Sunday.  In games Friday, NC State and Miami were starting at 11:00 AM, Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech are matched at 3:00 PM, and North Carolina takes on Clemson in the nightcap at 7:00PM.

Tim Flock-Jocko Flocko, Coke 600, and can anyone beat JJ?  Parker's Points!NASCAR Hall of Famer Tim Flock and friend, Jocko Flocko

CONCORD – Well, here we go.  Most of the attention around Charlotte Motor Speedway this week has dealt with Bruton Smith and his WBTV interview in which he indicated there was a 70% chance he would move the fall CMS race to Las Vegas, but really, we need to talk racin’ and no one can do that like Adrian Parker.

Adrian has parlayed his legendary South Rowan football status, Catawba College years, and public relations mojo for some of the sport’s top stars and for Charlotte Motor Speedway into a lucrtive career as the business manager and apparent good luck charm for Matt Kenseth.

In spite of it all, he still labors for hours every week to bring you Parker’s Points!

HATS OFF TO ALL-STAR KING Jimmie Johnson, who won a record-setting fourth All-Star Race last Saturday at Charlotte Motor Speedway, breaking a tie with Dale Earnhardt and Jeff Gordon.  (Editor’s note: only Richard Petty can be referred to as “King.”)

He’s won under

Yeah, that’s Adrian
