According to num-
bers provided by Dr. David
Hayes-Bautista, Director of the
Center for the Study of Latino
Health and Culture (CESLAC),
there is currently only one
Latino dentist for every 10000
possible Latino patients. In
some years in the past decade,
no Latino students have gradu-
ated as dentists from California
universities, which is an alarm-
ing number since he says that
by 2030, Latinos (from various
national backgrounds) will
make up half the population in
California. According to Dr.
Serrata from EPCC, half of one
percent of the Latino popula-
tion is graduating with medical,
dental or law degrees.
Dr. Bautista was in town to
speak with Dr. William Serrata,
President of the El Paso Com-
munity College system, explor-
ing the possibility about
starting a future partnership
with EPCC and other area
schools, like UTEP and the
Paul L. Foster Texas Tech
School of Medicine, in creating
a larger brain-trust on Latino
Health issues. He also pro-
moted beginning a program
where more Latinos can find
their way into the medical pro-
fession.
Through CESLAC, Dr. Bautista
also heads up MEDPEP, the
Medical Preparation and Edu-
cation Pipeline program where
Latinos in California's commu-
nity colleges are assisted and
directed toward entering the
medical field through UCLA's
medical schools. The 10 year
old program gets around 50-70
enrolled students every year
from southern California. The
students have to attend semi-
nars and programs on the
UCLA campus. Bautista esti-
mates 140 students so far have
gone through the program,
through medical school and are
currently practicing profes-
sional doctors.
According to Dr. Carlos Yates,
Math professor at El Paso
Community College, who facil-
itated the meeting between Dr.
Bautista and EPCC and several
other educational entities in El
Paso, "There is a vital need to
have physicians and dentists
that understand the culture of
our people, the way to talk to
them, their extended families,
their diets and behaviors that all
have a deep impact on the
health of a patient."
Bautista says Latino students
may not be attracted to the
medical field since they have so
few role models. "If you have a
physician in the family, then
idea of medical school is not as
intimidating. Often, we find
that many of our students may
not even have a family physi-
cian, much less a Latino one.
The idea of not only graduating
with a bachelor's, much less a
doctorate, seems so far away."
Bautista's program gets stu-
dents who may come from the
inner city or from rural areas
(where their parents may be
farmworkers), and introduces
them not only to Latino physi-
cians and lecturers, but also
medical students, thereby creat-
ing a support system with them
and their own peers, further de-
mystifying the notion of med-
ical school.
Dr. Serrata stated that he was
enthusiastic to begin the part-
nership in whatever form nec-
essary and as practical to the El
Paso area. He explained how
the idea of directing, then men-
toring, students towards a med-
ical field is even more feasible
in El Paso, since EPCC has a
track record of educating and
mentoring students from the
high school level, having vari-
ous campuses and programs
where high school age students
can achieve college credit, even
associate degrees before their
high school diplomas. What
we want to promote is that
dreams can become reality for
this population. In most med-
ical schools, few of the students
are from the area. We have the
unique opportunity here be-
cause we now have a medical
school in town because we have
a need, so what are we going to
do to build that pipeline to get
these students into that school?
Ultimately, we know that El Pa-
soans wish to remain in this
area, if the jobs are here. We
can produce doctors here that
know our demographics, our
people and our culture. We
dont have many role models
for our students. We have trail-
blazers like Dr. Bautista, but
then there is a big gap, and we
need to be able to fill that gap
to provide opportunities for
these students.
Dr. Bautista was hopeful about
the meeting and the future of
such a program. He explained
that he had met with UTEP and
Paul Foster/Texas Tech person-
nel. In Texas, 70% of students,
80% of minorities, enter higher
education via a community col-
lege, so the seeds of a program
are landing in very fertile
ground here in El Paso. When-
ever I introduce the idea of
MEDPEP to a campus, it does-
nt become a clone of what
were doing in UCLA. It de-
pends on what people want to
do here. That community has to
own it. Im just glad that we
were able to get the schools to-
gether, even to just consider in
joining efforts to create a sus-
tained intellectual concentration
on researching Latino Health.
And if, through that effort, we
get the medical students to
come down to the colleges, and
then to the high schools, and
sharing information all around,
then I think thats the keys to
kingdom.
Finally, Dr. Bautista reiterated
that he would not be the archi-
tect for such a program at
EPCC. I think the people are
here to do it [implement such a
program]. I can be a coach, I
can share experiences, I can
cheerlead, but thatll have to be
created here. I think the people
are here to do it. I get a sense of
the will. I certainly get a sense
of the need.

The Miners fell short in their C-USA
opener against UTSA on Saturday. This
one sided 32-13 loss to the roadrunners
UTSA got most of their points in the first
half with 25 giving them some fast mo-
mentum in which would be their first C-
USA win. UTEP quarterback Jameill
Showers had an okay day with 119 yards
and going 17 for 33. UTSA had previ-
ously beat UNM this season and are now
2-2 going into this weekends game
against Houston. There are still 9 games
remaining this season and the Miners
have shown they are a different team for
the best. Lets hope this all reflects at the
end of the season when we look at their
record.
This week
UTEP
travels to
Colorado
to face
Colorado
State. Old
WAC conference foes have not played
against each other since 1995. This week-
ends game will be televised Saturday af-
ternoon at 1:30pm on the CBS Sports
Network. Colorado State will also be
facing the UTEP Mens basketball team
this season. Colorado State is coming
into this matchup this weekend with a 1-3
record. Colorado State lost 31-6 against
#1 Nationally Ranked Alabama.

HUNDREDS OF JOB-SEEKERS
ATTEND GET HIRED 2013,
EL PASOS BIGGEST JOB FAIR OF
THE YEAR
(Tuesday, September 24, 2013) This morning hundreds
of El Pasoans lined up since 6:00 a.m. outside the El
Paso Civic Center to participate in this years Job Fair
and Education Expo Get Hired 2013. By the end of the
day, nearly 6,400 individuals had attended the event in
search of a new job opportunity.
This year the event featured more than 262 companies,
several of them new to the El Paso area, among them
COCA COLA, OFFICE DEPOT, CITY OF EL PASO,
EL PASO WATER UTILITY and UPS.
According to the latest numbers available, during the
event more than 392 applicants were hired on the spot.
Additionally, participating employers are expected to
hire close to 1,500 attendees within the next couple of
weeks.
Lorenzo Reyes, Chief Executive Officer of Workforce
Solutions Upper Rio Grande said this years event has
been the largest and most successful job fair to date.
Todays event also featured an Education Expo where
thousands of students, mainly from rural areas of our re-
gion, had the opportunity to experience firsthand the
challenges of finding a good employment in todays
competitive job market without a good education.
We hope todays experience helps those students think
twice before they decide to drop out of school, Reyes
said.
Last years Get Hired event helped nearly 1,200 par-
ticipants find a new job.

Weather Trivia:
A Very Moist Ground
What was the most rainfall El Paso ever recorded in
a 24 hour period?
MONDAY

TUESDAY
OCT 1
What a great September! The recent heavy rains of the month
have certainly greened up El Paso and the surrounding area.
From September 9th through September 14th, most of the
area measured anywhere from three to six inches of rain.
This has certainly been a major drought reliever for the area.
Many farmers I talked to welcomed the rainfall which mim-
icked a full irrigation. But, along with the smiles and jubila-
tion come frustration and disappointments. Typically we see
flooding and damage that occurs in spots. Many of us have to
deal with the abundance of weeds and allergies that come
along getting them out of the ground. Theres mowing to do;
dirt and rocks that need to be repositioned on our street and in
our backyards and leaks on our roof to repair. But, all in all,
most everyone I talked with enjoyed the five days of clouds,
cooler temperatures and continuous rainfall.
Below is the Palmer Drought Severity Index. This indicates
the moisture status in the ground and is great to use for unirri-
gated land.
As you can see from the below graphic the whole region is
either normal or well above normal when it comes to ground
moisture. In fact, most of southwestern and northwestern
New Mexico is extremely moist. The eastern half of New
Mexico did experience some decent rainfall as well but just
not as much as the west. El Paso and far west Texas is doing
very good too. Lets hope we can keep it up through fall and
into winter.

LIFESTYLES
Fall-Fashion Citations
Sharon Mosley
"Anything Goes" is often the
rallying cry of the fashion
crowd who are constantly push-
ing and stretching the bound-
aries of design. It can be
exciting to see these innovative
changes end up in our own
closets. How about a little more
stretch in those jeans, please?
But the fashion police are al-
ways around to make sure good
taste doesn't get a bad rep. And
this fall, there are plenty of ci-
tations to hand out. Just make
sure you don't get written up
for one of these faux pas!
Indecent Display
of Skin Let's get this
one out of the way first. At
least summer is almost over,
and we won't have to look at all
those beach blunders for much
longer. But we all know the
feeling we get when we see a
friend lean over and the girls
take a spill. Or when we're in
line at a rock concert, and our
fellow music lovers are show-
ing off all their new lacy under-
wear purchases. Puhlease, look
in a mirror before you dash out
the door, and at least pretend to
cover up a little of that skin, es-
pecially if you've got any inap-
propriate bulges.
Abuse of Aces-
sories This one is an
easy infraction for many of us.
We tend to have no filter when
it comes to piling on one more
bracelet or one more necklace
or one more ring. And let's face
it; most of us love all the bling,
especially those heavy metal
handbags dripping with chains.
Well, if you're fashion nerves
are getting just a little too jan-
gled this fall, take a step back,
before you head out the door
and heed some advice from that
all-time style icon, Coco
Chanel who said: "Always take
off the last thing you put on."
Getting too Up-
tight I predict
that this ci-
tation will
be a
popu-
lar
one
is-
sued by the chic authorities this
season. With all the leather leg-
gings popping up, there's bound
to be some violators. You've
probably seen many uptight
fashionistas already the
sheath dress with the poochy
stomach, the skinny jeans with
the thunder thighs, the pencil
skirts showing off too much
junk in the trunk. Again, refer
to the indecent display of skin.
Even if it's covered up, check
that image in the mirror, and if
there's no wiggle (or wedgie)
room and you can't cleverly
cover it up with a tunic top or
menswear jacket, consider
leaving it at the store or on the
digital screen. There's no sense
in getting a ticket for maximiz-
ing your figure flaws for the
entire world to see. However,
be sure you don't get cited for
wearing clothes that are too
baggy, either. This fall, with the
new take on sweatshirt dress-
ing, you can have the best of
both worlds.
Playing the Trend
Victim Wearing a fash-
ion trend head-to-toe will defi-
nitely get you a citation from
the style squad. Instead of pil-
ing on all our new fall finds the
first day the temperature drops
tossing on the camo-print
jacket over the plaid vest and
the pajama pants and the mo-
torcycle boots, take a deep
breath and play up one special
piece at a time. Don't be
punked. Remember you've got
a long way to go until next
spring brings a whole new
way to show off yet another
round of trends. Instead,
focus on combining your fa-
vorite basics with newer,
"trendier" items one at a
time.
And a few more
warnings to men-
tion Yes, the fashion po-
lice have now sanctioned
wearing white after Labor Day,
but there are still a few more
ways to get fashion citation if
you happen to get caught. Try
wearing dark suntan hosiery or
socks with sandals or a ho-ho-
ho holiday sweater anyone?

Gazette in Little Rock and ex-

Why Are Little Brothers
Always Brats?
DR. WALLACE: I'm 13 and have two younger brothers, ages 7
and 9. These two boys are brats and do everything possible to
upset me. They get their kicks out of making me angry. They spy
on me, lie about me, laugh at me, steal from me, squeal to my par-
ents about me, read my diary and pester my friends, who despise
them.
Why are little brothers always brats? My grandmother thinks
these two little devils are cute little angels. Nameless, Seattle,
Wash.
NAMELESS: Younger brothers aren't always brats, and siblings
anywhere in the birth order are capable of filling that role. What
can you do about it? Screaming at these "little angels" won't do
the trick, and punishing them is, at best, a temporary solution.
Your brothers pester you because they enjoy seeing you get upset
and angry. Your best recourse is to refuse to play your part. Don't
become overwrought by their little games! I realize this will be
difficult, but believe me, if you ignore them, they will soon realize
that pestering you is a waste of time. My guess is that it will take
about a week.
When they get it into their heads that you won't be the "goat" any
more, they'll have to find someone else to bother. Let's hope it's
not Grandmother... But maybe it might be better grandmother than
you. Grandmothers know how to successfully take care of little
brats.
HAVE PARENTS VISIT AN AFTER-SCHOOL DANCE
DR. WALLACE: I'm a ninth-grader, and I really enjoy being in
high school. I go to all the athletic events, but I don't attend the
school dances after home-football games because our church does
not condone dancing of any kind. One of my good friends attends
some of the dances and has asked me to join him. I told him that
I'm not allowed to dance. He then said that he doesn't dance ei-
ther; instead, he hangs around talking to kids about the game and
school stuff.
I'd really like to go to one to see what it is all about, but I know
my parents would say no. If the gathering was called an after-
game hangout, I probably would be allowed to attend. Any help
would be nice! Albert, Phoenix, Ariz.
ALBERT: I agree that very few students actually dance at after-
game campus "dances." Your friend was right. These dances turn
out to be supervised "gab sessions."
Have your parents ask for permission to observe one of these
events for a few minutes so they can evaluate whether or not it's
proper for you to attend. This should not cause a problem. Most
principals will allow parents to have a peek at school functions.
Dr. Robert Wallace welcomes questions from readers. Although he
is unable to reply to all of them individually, he will answer as
many as possible in this column. Email him at

week 09/26 - 10/02
Sun and Pluto Pose a
Question
The person who says "there are
no dumb questions" may be over-
stating things. All questions are not
equal. Some lead to happiness and
awakening, while others bring on a
nagging sense of general anxiety.
The Libra sun, compelled to weigh
and balance and account for every-
thing, squares Pluto in responsible
Capricorn. Ask quality questions
the kind that might lead to action
and improvement, not existential
angst.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). It is
sometimes hard for you to direct
compassion toward yourself. Realize
that you are hard on yourself in a
way that others are not and never
would be. To accept that you're not
always going to do the right thing is
to accept your humanity. It is divine
to forgive, though, even when the
one you are forgiving is you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you
find yourself full of doubts this week,
it's actually a good thing it's a
sign that you are intelligent, that you
care and that you want something
from the situation that you don't feel
completely entitled to. Entitlement
breeds an off-putting sort of confi-
dence. Your humility and vulnerability
are part of what makes you great.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You
could really use a stellar idea. That's
why too much time spent giving your
attention to entertainment, games
and devices is dangerous this week.
In order to get your good idea, you
need mental space and maybe
some boredom, too. How are you
going to get any ideas if you don't let
yourself daydream?
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Psy-
chological studies suggest that
women are generally better at pick-
ing up nonverbal cues than men, but
this week gender won't seem to mat-
ter as much as astrological sign.
You're a nonverbal cue master, and
everyone else is relatively clueless.
To communicate well, you'll have to
spell everything out.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Much growth
comes of your journey this week.
You'll realize there's something you
haven't totally accepted and that it is
indeed acceptable. On the other side
of this hurdle, you'll find a sense of
identity. You'll see how your parents'
beliefs have imprinted on you, and
you'll also understand how to exert
your free will.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In some
religions, serious devotees give up
their past identities to start anew in
the religion. That is an easier way to
change than trying to promote conti-
nuity with the past without letting it
trap you in your old self. A break-
through in your personal life will
make you feel like you can finally
move forward.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Most peo-
ple believe they smile more than
they actually do. You're different, and
that's why someone falls in love with
your smile and then with you. You
don't wait for the right time to project
magnetism and heart. Any old time
is good enough for you, especially
when you feel as happy as you do
this week.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). This
week you experience events differ-
ently from the way the others in-
volved experience them. An
objective witness would say that
your way is factually accurate, but
that doesn't matter in the least to the
others, each being invested in his or
her own point of view. Getting along
is more important than being right.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Because your mind is so curious
and your love of learning so deep,
you will always have more questions
than answers. But that doesn't mean
you're not qualified to teach what
you already know. You will be ex-
ceedingly lucky this week when you
share your considerable knowledge
and wisdom.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The
rules of right and wrong do not seem
as clear-cut to you this week as they
did last week, and this might be con-
fusing. If you think of morality in
terms of helping and harming, deci-
sions might be easier for you to
make. Know who might be helped
and/or harmed before you make
your move.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
want everyone to be honest and do
the right thing, especially yourself.
You don't have the stomach to be
"bad," because you'll always get
caught (by yourself!), and it's just not
worth it to you. Just know that not
everyone thinks like this. This week
you'll figure out whom you can and
can't trust.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You
know when a person is humoring
you. That quality of attention can be
more undermining to your self-es-
teem than outright rejection. But take
heart, because in the end those who
don't take you seriously will be sorry.
You'll put your ideas into action and
see winning results that include
more money and friends.
THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: You
have greater control over your time
this month, which allows you to
focus on what you want instead of
on what your boss requires and
other responsibilities. An adventure
in November is intellectual your
mind goes first, and later you'll phys-
ically travel to a similar place. You
will pay off a debt in February, which
is a relief and the start of a financial
turnaround. March and June are
your best times to heal relationships,
especially the one that's captivated
so much of your emotion for years
now.
More Fruits, More Veggies? Sing a Song of Salad Bars
energY express BY MarilYnn presTon
Getting kids to eat their fruits
and veggies wasn't a problem
when that's all there was to eat.
Whatever the family grew out-
side the cave came to the table,
along with the entire family. No
child stayed in his room with
his headphones, listening to the
Naked Brothers Band, and wild
celery roots were relished by
teens as a reward for good
marksmanship.
Times have changed. Today,
motivating kids to eat their
fruits and veggies is easier than
getting the adults to, but it's still
tricky. And yet, it is so, so im-
portant. If you don't know why,
you're free to go now. But if
you're looking for ways to get
your kids to consume more car-
rots, apples, and yes, even more
broccoli, you've come to the
right column, in the right
month.
September just happens to be
"Fruits and Veggies More
Matters" month, as proclaimed
by the non-profit Produce For
Better Health, or PBH (not to
be confused with PB and J, an
easy sell to kids compared to
homemade Muesli).
PBH works with schools, hos-
pitals and parents to get kids to
eat more fruits and vegetables.
They create and sell classroom
posters "School Salad Bars
Rock!" and CDs, books and
games with positive messages
and inspiring images.
For instance, window shopping
on www.pbhfoundation.org, I
came across a sporty looking
poster captioned, "Power Your
Day With Fruits and Vegeta-
bles."
It's a photo of a young woman
dressed in a soccer uniform
doing a header, except instead
of a ball, she's hitting her head
against a cauliflower.
Is this really an effective way to
get kids to eat their crucifers?
Hmmm ... I hope so. PBH has
been around since 1991, fight-
ing the good fight for healthier
kids and happier parents. If
they want to designate Septem-
ber as "Fruits and Veggies
More Matters" Month (what a
mouthful!), I say, go for it!
Why? Because 34 percent of
U.S. adults and 13 million chil-
dren are obese, says the PBH
site. (I stopped counting long
ago.)
One festive way to overturn the
tide of rising fat is to promote
healthy eating. I don't just mean
in schools and hospitals, I mean
in your child's own bedroom.
Seize the month! PBH is hav-
ing a back-to-school sale of
their stuff, and on a budget of
less than $15 dollars, you can
do a Kid Room Makeover that
may completely change Josh's
attitude toward avocados. Or
not. It's worth trying.
Next time your child is out of
the house, push into the bed-
room and cover the Lady Gaga
poster with one from the PBH
store that says, "Salad Bars
Help You Play All Day."
It's a big photo of a cute kid
playing a huge tuba stuffed
with grapes, tomatoes and ba-
nanas. Get it? Play all day. It
was $2.99, but if you act now,
you can get it for 50 cents.
Look around the room. Find a
good place to set up a CD
player so your kid can come in
from a busy day at school, lie
back and listen to the bold
sounds of the "Smart Fruit and
Veggies Songs" CD.
If that doesn't strike the right
note, try placing some recipe
cards around the room so that
as soon as they come home,
they can start thinking about
what they want to prepare in
the kitchen.
"Mom!" your kid will call out,
going through his pack of 10
kid recipes, now selling at the
greatly reduced price of $1.99.
"Shall I make the tabbouleh
salad tonight or the Norwegian
Berry Pudding?"
I make the joke, but in fact, get-
ting kids in the kitchen and
cooking with you is a seriously
good way to get them to eat and
enjoy more fruits and veggies.
Another great tactic came to me
recently from a proud Dad of a
9-year-old who loves his veg-
gies. I asked Matthew how he
did it.
"I used to say, right in front of
my son, 'Sebastian won't like
broccoli because that's just for
older kids,' and he'd say,
'Gimme a chance!'"
Now Sebastian is growing up
loving his kale and carrots, and
that's that. No big deal. No
drama. And no processed food
in the house.

Pet music truly does have calming charms
A Juilliard-trained pianist and
an expert in the therapeutic
value of sound have been
steadily producing music aimed
at calming pets and people
alike. The Through a
Dogs Ear and
Through a
Cats Ear
collec-
tions have been clinically
shown to help pets relax. The
company recently released a
collection of CDs for noise-
phobic pets in conjunction
with dog-trainer Victoria
Stillwell, as well as
a small, self-
con-
tained player called iCalmDog
that loops the selections for
constant play while the pet is
alone. The iCalmDog is $79
from ThroughADogsEar.com or
other retailers.
Cattle rustlers be-
ware: A bill awaiting the gover-
nors signature in California
will increase the penalties for
anyone convicted of stealing
livestock. The bills sponsor, a
cattle rancher himself, noted
that the law would cover live-
stock from alpacas to zebras.
Beef and dairy cattle are popu-
lar with thieves: More than
1,000 head of cattle were stolen
in California last year, with the
loss valued at around $1 mil-
lion.
Veterinarians in Al-
abama have escalated a war of
words into lawsuits, with fac-
tions squaring off over whether
nonprofits such as animal shel-
ters should be allowed to oper-
ate low-cost spay-neuter clinics
for pets, or whether veterinari-
ans alone should be afforded
the privilege. The states law-
makers have been unable to
pass legislation to settle the
regulatory matter once and for
all, in large part because the
blowback will be considerable
no matter what the ultimate
outcome. Dr. Marty Becker
and Gina Spadafori
Collections of music arranged to calm pets are the focus of the

About Pet Connection
By Rose Bennett Gilbert
Don't Repeat Design
History: Update It
Q: Our "new" house is a Greek
Revival dating to the late l9th
century. We love the period
so elegant and sedate but we
don't want to live in a museum,
if you know what I mean. How
can we decorate to preserve the
right flavor and still be in the
21st century?
A: First thing, relax. Any
Greek Revival worth its
columns has such architectural
integrity that there's little dan-
ger you could lose the period
flavor of the house by making
the wrong decorating decisions.
The trick is to be courageous
enough to update enough. That
is, not add just 21st-century
conveniences but also express
21st-century attitudes. Here's an
inspiring example: The dining
room in the photo we show
here is in one of Kansas City's
most treasured homes, the
Bent-Ward House, dating to the
l870s and listed on the National
Register of Historic Places.
It was the site of last spring's
44th Annual Symphony De-
signers' Showhouse, where de-
signer Tam Stone
(tam-stone.com) set out, she
says, to modernize while "re-
specting the dignity of the old
house." Here's how she did it:
Went symmetrical.
Formal balance is an earmark
of the Greek Revival style, so
Tam arranged Baker's ma-
hogany furniture to create al-
most a mirror image in the
room;
Evoked a surprising,
contemporary palette, deep
plum-brown walls in a high-
gloss finish, contrasted with
silk draperies in va-va-voom
chartreuse. But while the color
is totally today, the crisp, for-
mal pleating of the draperies is
very old-world traditional;
Used overscaled art.
"Very much a current trend,"
Tam points out. But she ex-
pressed the trend in classic
works of art six Hogarth
prints framed in traditional
gold. Hung as a unit between
the windows, they make a sin-
gle, and singularly modern, de-
sign statement;
Juxtaposed high-and-
low, heavy-and-light, serious-
and-light. "Another modern
idea," according to Tam. Cases
in point: the faux longhorns, a
nod to Kansas City's history
and the textured roller shades
(Alustra Woven Textures by
Hunter Douglas, hunterdou-
glas.com) hung under those se-
riously pleated-silk chartreuse
draperies.
"The shades caused a lot of
comment from showhouse visi-
tors," Tam reports. "They were
surprised that I hadn't put some-
thing formal under the formal
draperies. But I wanted the
room to be approachable and
comfortable," she explains. "I
liked the way the light comes
through woven shades."

Greek Revival room. Photo Courtesy: Hunter Douglas.
Q: I happen to love stripes. But do they always
have to be vertical? We have a small entry hall.
How would it look if we installed striped wallpa-
per on the horizontal?
A: Your small hall would look instantly larger.
It's one of the most useful optical illusions avail-
able to interior decorators. Vertical stripes fool
the eye into seeing taller spaces; horizontal
stripes tend to push the walls apart visually so
the space appears larger.
Actually, horizontal stripes can be effective in
large spaces, too. When he decorated the very
large and imposing, double-height entry for the
recent Hampton Designer Showhouse in Water
Mill, N.Y., Lee W. Robinson applied wide hori-
zontal stripes in three warm colors turquoise,
bronze and cream. It sure cozied up and added
charm to what was essentially an over-scaled and
rather formal space.
In the same showhouse, Tammy Connor waxed a
bit wild with striped walls in a bedroom: she ran
blue-on-blue stripes vertically on the side walls,
and then turned them horizontal on the end
walls. Her final touch, visually revving every-
thing up another notch, was the runner rug she
laid on the diagonal between the room's twin
beds.

Q: How big should a rug be under
a dining room table? My aunt has
given us an old family table that's
larger than the one we've had for
years. When you pull out the chairs,
the back feet go off the rug. Is that
OK or do we need a new larger
rug?
A: There are many things in this
world that should never look too
small or too short. Men's trousers,
for one example; pants bottoms
should just break over the shoes.
Long curtains should skirt the floor,
not end partway down the wall. And
rugs under tables should be suffi-
ciently large that the chairs can
push back without falling off the
rug.
Send your too-small rug to duty in a
bedroom and treat yourself to a
new, in-proportion rug to go in that
prime spot under your new old
table.
Rug under a Dining Room Table
New Take on an Old Favorite
Q: We went a little crazy over
the Country Look and ended up
with a house full of calico and
old teddy bears and furniture
with lots of peeling paint. Now
it's 20 years later and we want a
new look something more
contemporary but who can
afford to start all over? What
now?
A: Timing is everything. Half
the country went mad for the
Country Look back in the '80s,
and no wonder: It's nostalgic
and charming, comfortable and
easy to live with.
Also inexpensive, at least in the
early days, and it had a history
ours.
The nation had literally grown
up with those calicoes and that
farmhouse furniture. We could
sense our own past in old quilts
and bent-willow benches. We
could relax around all that im-
perfection: peeling paint, rusted
metals, casually mismatched
patterns.
Then, suddenly, it was all too
much! Even Raymond Waites,
the mega-designer who's cred-
ited with "inventing" the Coun-
try Look, soon struck off in a
new direction...Continues on

Q: I am thinking of hanging a quilt as a
shower curtain in my guest bath. I've used a
country theme in the bedroom next door. I
am just worried because the quilt is kind of
heavy for a shower rod. Any suggestions?
A: Yes, I have two.
1. I'm sure you are using a liner to protect
your quilt. So hang it on the shower rod
and install a sturdy spring-tension rod to
hold the quilt itself.
2. I'm sure you realize you'll be endanger-
ing your quilt in two ways, from the in-
evitable moisture from the shower, and
from the stress of being hung. To help ease
the latter problem, use a lot of clips to hold
the quilt on the spring-tension rod and peri-
odically switch ends to reverse the pres-
sure.

Secret to Small-Space Living: Edit! Edit! Edit!
Q: Do you have any advice
for people who live in tiny
spaces like me? My studio
apartment is just 25 x 30 feet.
That's 750 square feet! How do
I fit my life into 750 square
feet? Can you help? You al-
ways write about people with
humongous homes!
A: Not true! You must have
missed the two features on
small-space decorating tips
from interior designer John
Buscarello, who lives and
works in New York City, inar-
guably the most space-starved
town in the U.S. (The articles
are archived at Creators.com.)
New Yorkers scrimp along in
rooms that make Harry Potter's
under-stair digs look almost
palatial. But not everyone com-
plains. Meet design student An-
drea Brodfuehrer, who has
called a 325-square-foot apart-
ment home for the past eight
years and now shares it with
her husband Pat, who moved in
three years ago.
Andrea also studies at the New
York School of Interior Design
and works at home. Plus, "We
host dinner parties and enter-
tain weekend guests," she
vows.
"The key is discipline and self-
editing. If something comes in,
something must go out. It
makes life less complicated
our things tend not to over-
whelm us," Andrea says.
You're looking at one end of
the living room in the photo we
show here. Look closely and
see how one can almost touch
both walls in the tiny space.
But thanks to their restraint and
proactive de-accessioning pol-
icy (plus the 11-foot ceilings in
the old pre-war building), the
couple's apartment never feels
claustrophobic, Andrea says.
It nicely "supports their daily
lives." Chairs move around eas-
ily; furniture pieces serve mul-
tiple functions: The baker's
cabinet, for example, is "part
console, part desk, part pantry,"
she points out.
Much of the Brodfuehrers' fur-
niture has been salvaged, either
from antique marts or off the
curb ("recycling" is a great
New York sport, even among
the well-off: The late Albert
Hadley, scion of the design in-
dustry, was famous for stopping
cabs and racing back to rescue
a curbside castaway).
There are also many sources
for double-duty furniture and
pieces engineered to make the
most of minimum space. One is
the aptly named Resource Fur-
niture (www.resourcefurni-
ture.com), which offers
cutting-edge Italian contempo-
rary design in "transformable"
furniture units: beds that fold
down over sofas, walls that
slide to reveal storage - things
like that. And, of course, there's
always the Murphy bed, l00-
plus years old but still the big
news in small-space living
(www.murphybed.com).

City apartment. Photo: Mollie Vogt-Welch.
Dcor Score...
Continued from page 14
... (somewhere half-way between Tra-
ditional American and pure Baroque).
Now comes another designer, long cel-
ebrated for his farmhouse style, who is
rethinking his signature look in a new
book, "Terry John Woods' Farmhouse
Modern," due out Oct. 1 from Stewart,
Tabori and Chang. You'll find comfort
in his words (and inspiration in the
works-of-art photographs by Kindra
Clineff): "Traditional Farmhouse style
... remains close to my heart; but I also
now find myself drawn to the lines of
modern and industrial design pieces,"
Woods writes in the introduction to the
book.
Heresy? Hardly. Woods is going
through the evolution of taste we all
should as we grow up and older. We
discover new ways to look and live.
Our ideas change, and so should our
homes. But that doesn't mean you have
to jettison all your old stuff.
Woods orchestrates an intriguing mix
of Then and Now. But his most mod-
ern statement is about space. It's now
clean and uncluttered. Walls are white;
floors are bare; accessories are spare
(but there's still space for the vintage-
style teddy bears that made Woods' de-
sign fame in the l980s; see
terryjohnwoods.com).
His old treasures are showcased like
sculptures. Here's an elegant case in
point: a collection of old-fashioned
lacy porcelain looks cool and contem-
porary interspersed with other shapes
and shown off, white-on-white, in an
under-stair alcove.
Sitting Pretty on a
Sectional Sofa
Q: We are redoing our Great Room
and thinking of putting a flat-screen
TV over the fireplace. Since we'll
mainly be looking in that one direc-
tion, it seems logical to arrange all the
seats to face the fireplace, but I don't
want the room to look like a movie
theater. What kind of furniture do you
recommend? There are five in our
family and always the kids' friends,
too.
A: Viva the sectional! Seating that
comes with built-in flexibility will be
your best bet. You can just keep
adding sections until you have space
enough for everybody. Allow a few in-
dependent chairs, too, so when more
friends arrive or you prefer conver-
sation to TV everyone can easily
pull into the grouping.
Sectionals lend themselves to cohesive
arrangements, carving out a visual
room-within-a-room, especially when
they're underscored by an area rug.
Note how neatly the cocktail table fits
into the el of the four-piece sectional
in the photo we show here (starring
Bernhardt's Brandeis sectional; bern-
hardt.com). No matter where a person
sits along the length of the piece, it's
an easy reach to put down a drink, a
dish or book on the low table or its
matching end table.
Another plus: Because sectionals are
open-ended this one includes a
chaise longue on one end they at-
tract more sitters than ordinary three-
cushion sofas, in the middle seat of
which nobody likes to sit. People
would rather perch on the arms or
back of an old-fashioned sofa than
land in the center seat. Study the
crowd at the next party you attend and
you'll see what I mean. Sitting be-
tween two people on a regular sofa can
make you feel you're watching a tennis
match ... left, right, left ...

of "Manhattan Style" and six other
books on interior design.

Music Releases
October 1st
Showtek are Wouter and
Sjoerd Janssen, two broth-
ers who live for electronic
dance music. Showtek have
passion they turn into cre-
ation, producing music that
shattered all expectations in
just under a decade of hit-
ting the scene. Showtek
have sold out shows in all
four corners of the globe on
the biggest stages and
stunned at every turn.
Showtek go bigger and bet-
ter with every hit, cruising to
the Beatport Top 5 an un-
precedented 5 times
straight and the best is yet
to come. Showtek are the
hottest act of 2013 right
now; this is their year, their
show.
Smashing their way into the
dance elite in a few short
years, they behold a career
that exists in most producers
wet dream. Starting out in a
quiet town of the Netherlands
they were fuelled by bringing
the biggest and best music to
the world and in 2012, this
was emphatically realized.
Named as the #17 musical
exports of their home country
they are leading the Dutch
movement dominating the
airwaves around the globe.
Tipped by musical gospels
from Dancing Astronaut to Bill-
board and loved by fans of all
spheres, all eyes are on
Showtek to see what master-
pieces this year and beyond
will bring. Picking up awards
and smashing records as they
blast through 2013, the future
is only set to for the strato-
sphere.
Music
Showtek can never be tied
down; their music breaks
boundaries and transitions as
they gather inspiration around
the world. Never in one place,
they do have one natural
home the dance world - re-
siding there to wow fans that
agonize for more and more.
From the second they
launched the astonishing
debut album Today Is Tomor-
row in 2007, expectations
from music authorities and
dance-lovers reached hyste-
ria. Destroying expectancy on
all counts, Showtek hit with the
coveted Essential Mix on BBC
Radio 1. The first of their kind
to do so it was heard the
world over, and the global
stage was set.
Setting the stage alight is what
Showtek do best, and in typi-
cal fashion the second album
'Analogue Players in a Digital
World' left talent and
tastemakers spellbound. Un-
veiled in 2009 at the presti-
gious 'Amsterdam Dance
Event' (ADE) it garnered global
awards and powered the two
through to tracks that pro-
gressed in technical prowess,
crossing over genres like no
act had done before. Expan-
sion, Beats Of Life and
Breakbeat Junkie came thick
and fast, making Showtek the
act producers far and wide
wanted to work with. Showteks
next move in their domination
was thus obvious - teaming
up with megastars on their
production level. Dance roy-
alty and powerful new friend,
Tiesto, joined the team on
Hell Yeah! and served as the
perfect platform to showcase
their superstar status. In a shot,
it fired into the Top 10.
Like a light bulb moment,
Showteks next masterstroke
was to test their gift for pro-
duction with the baying DJs
looking to match their talents.
Crazy Collabs was born and
in just a year it has produced
Beatport wanders bursting at
the seams of esteemed clubs
and global dance destina-
tions. How We Do with Hard-
well shot up the charts to #1
in just a week and on NYE,
Hey! with young upstarts
Bassjackers went straight to
the top of the worlds sound-
track for 2013. All the while,
Cannonball with Justin Prime
was gaining pace at a rate of
knots and this Miami season
they were decorated for their
hard work and awarded the
sought after Gold Award for
record sales in different coun-
tries! The path for greatness
has now been laid for the col-
laboration with Noisecon-
trollers on Get Loose to reach
sky-high on Skrillex label
'Owsla'.
With Crazy Collabs in full
swing, it's astonishing Showtek
can keep original productions
rolling. Never to leave any-
thing on the backburner,
Crunk / Slow Down on the
coveted Dim Mak imprint was
released, with the latter mak-
ing it 5 Top 5s in a row.
What Showtek have achieved
with their music is nothing
short of phenomenal. Leaving
no stone unturned, the broth-
ers have pushed it the limit
and ventured into the realms
of Pop and R&B. Work for Chris
Brown and Carly Rae Jepsen,
Medina, Jason Derulo has left
people captivated by their
skills. Music simply means the
world to Showtek, and their
music means the world to
fans of all kinds, cultures far
reaching and the world over.
Showtek are becoming not
just legends of dance, but
legends of music.
Performances
On the most celebrated
stages and at the greatest
festivals in the world, crowds
can truly see the enormity of
Showteks music. Only the
biggest platforms can hold
the sheer intensity of their
sound. From Lucky to Sunburn
and LIV to Zouk, they can sell
out anywhere across the
globe and in 2013, the ven-
ues are only getting bigger
and bigger. Ibiza lies in wait as
their next destination to con-
quer and with a residency at
Privilege Ibiza as well as a
huge show at Pacha together
with David Guetta conquer
they will.
This is their year, their show, be
a part of it.

Matt Kenseth makes it two wins in a row in
the Chase; is the team to beat right now
After two of the 10 Chase
races, Matt Kenseth is batting a
thousand and headed to some
of his better tracks two fac-
tors that add up to him being a
clear championship favorite at
this point.
If Kenseth keeps
doing what hes doing, its not
going to matter what anybody
else does, Jeff Gordon said
after Kenseth rolled to his ca-
reer-best seventh win of the
season and second in a row.
Now were going to Dover
and thats a great track for him.
So, yeah, theyre definitely the
team to beat right now.
For Kenseth, who got
his 31st career win in his 500th
start and did it at a track where
hed never won and has an av-
erage finish of 13.4, his domi-
nant run on Sunday on top of a
similar performance in the
Chase opener at Chicagoland
Speedway doesnt appear to
have changed his approach.
I know its kind of
cliche, but it really is one week
at a time, especially right now,
he said. If you get down to-
ward the end [of the season]
and youre lucky enough to
have a lead or something,
maybe you start looking at that
more or thinking about it more.
But man, two whole months
and eight weeks of racing is a
lot of racing, and in this sys-
tem, one bad finish and youre
behind.
But he also acknowl-
edged that hes got some of his
best tracks coming up on the
schedule, including Kansas
Speedway, where hes won the
two most recent races.
[I] certainly have a
lot of confidence in the next
three tracks coming up, for
sure, he said of Dover Interna-
tional Speedway, Kansas and
Charlotte Motor Speedway,
where he has a total of six ca-
reer wins. In the past, theyve
been good tracks for us. I felt
like we were real strong at
Dover in the spring. And cer-
tainly Kansas has been good for
us, although we are going there
with a different tire, so that
might change things up a little
bit.
And Charlotte, the
[Coca-Cola] 600 was good, as
well.
Also in Kenseths
favor is the fact that his closest
competitor, Kyle Busch, is also
his teammate at Joe Gibbs Rac-
ing.
Man, what a terrible
problem to have, huh?
Kenseth joked.

Hampshire.

NAPA Auto Parts announces end
of sponsorship arrangement
with Michael Waltrip Racing
The manipulation of the finishing order of the Sprint Cup circuits
regular season finale at Richmond International Raceway by
Michael Waltrip Racing has cost the team its sponsorship of the
No. 56 Toyota driven by Martin Truex Jr. and has become a con-
cern for many others in the sport.
NAPA Auto Parts, in a statement on its Facebook page,
said that after thorough consideration, NAPA has made the diffi-
cult decision to end its sponsorship arrangement with Michael
Waltrip Racing effective Dec. 31, 2013. NAPA believes in fair
play and does not condone actions such as those that led to the
penalties assessed by NASCAR. We remain supportive of the mil-
lions of NASCAR fans and will evaluate our future position in
motorsports.
The manipulations to try to get Truex in the field for the
Chase for the Sprint Cup led to Truex being removed from the
Chase field, penalties for the three teams involved and the suspen-
sion of the teams general manager, Ty Norris.
But the loss of a major sponsor like NAPA is an even
bigger blow to the team. NAPA reportedly spends about $20 mil-
lion per year on its sponsorship of the team, and thats worrisome,
even among other competitors in the garage.
I was hoping after we got to race at Chicago that all
that stuff was in the rearview mirror, said Matt Kenseth. Obvi-
ously, it all wasnt. Continues on next page

Continued from page 31.. I think everybody is probably looking
forward to getting it behind us as a sport, and certainly I cant
imagine being in Michael [Waltrip] and Robs [Kauffman] shoes
the last week and a half. Its certainly been really unfortunate for
everybody.
Kenseth said he hopes NAPA will remain in NASCAR
as a sponsor.
Hopefully, theyll still be part of the sport, because it is
one of the mainstays of the sport who has always done the whole
car and done all that which is kind of the exception, and not
the rule, these days, he said.
Jimmie Johnson said he, too, was jolted by the news
and the implications for Waltrips team and NASCAR as a whole.
In this tough economy and tough world right now, we
hate to see sponsors leave, he said. Its going to be very chal-
lenging for MWR with the loss of such a major sponsor.
Michael Waltrip Racing issued its own statement:
There is no doubt, the story of Michael Waltrip Racing begins
with NAPA Auto Parts, but there are many more chapters yet to
be written. MWR has the infrastructure and support of Toyota for
three teams plus three Chase-caliber, race-winning drivers. With
the support of our corporate partners, we are preparing to field
three teams in 2014.
The departure of NAPA also leaves Truex in a difficult
spot, especially with the decision made so late in the year when
most 2014 deals are already in place.
Truex told reporters at New Hampshire that his future at
Waltrips team is uncertain at this point.
I dont know, he said. Its too early to tell, to be hon-
est with you. I wish I knew and I wish I could say, but a lot of cir-
cumstances have to play out, and its so late in the game and late
in the season.
People already know what theyre doing next year.
This is definitely not the time of year you want to find out that
you really dont have a ride next year, so to speak. Its going to be
tough, but well have to deal with it, and hopefully, well figure it
out.
He said hed like to stay with Waltrip if sponsorship
could be secured.
I really enjoyed my last four years at MWR, and I feel
like were getting to where we wanted to be when we started four
years ago, he said. I would love to be there. There are no guar-
antees right now. It just depends on how everything goes down.
NAPA Auto Parts announces end
of sponsorship...
Nationwide Insurance to end
title sponsorship of NASCARs
No. 2 circuit
Nationwide Insurance announced last week that it
is dropping its title sponsorship of NASCARs No. 2 circuit
after the 2014 season, but will remain active in the sport.
The company will begin spending most of its spon-
sor dollars in the Sprint Cup Series as well as continuing as
the official auto, home, life and business insurance partner
of NASCAR through 2017. It also will become the presenting
sponsor of the Betty Jane France Humanitarian Award.
Refreshed Nissan 370Z
packs performance, style.
By Christopher A. Randazzo
For decades, the philosophy be-
hind the Z-car has been simple:
exciting performance and ex-
hilarating handling, all avail-
able at a reasonable price. That
recipe was used on the first
1970 Datsun 240Z and still
holds true in 2013 with the Nis-
san 370Z.
Now in its sixth generation, the
current 370Z was first intro-
duced in 2009 and has followed
with the same success as its
predecessor, the 350Z.
The 370Z has been freshened
for 2013. The updated look in-
cludes a front fascia that has
been redesigned to incorporate
vertical LED daytime running
lights. At the rear, some reflec-
tive pieces have been incorpo-
rated into the rear bumper. Also
new for 2013 are some differ-
ent wheel options as well as
some unique colors.
As its name suggests, the 370Z
boasts a 3.7 liter V6 that is
larger version of Nissans ever-
so-popular 3.5 liter V6. These
days, the engine under the hood
of the Z makes 332 horsepower
and 270 pound-feet of torque.
No turbos, no superchargers,
just a normally aspirated pow-
erful six-cylinder engine. Fuel
economy is decent for a sports
car as the EPA rates it at 18
mpg in the city and 26 mpg on
the highway.
The test vehicle that I had the
pleasure of using was equipped
with the standard six-speed
manual transmission. If you
dont like to shift gears, an op-
tional seven-speed automatic
transmission is offered. Going
with the manual tranny and the
optional Sport package, you
also get an automotive first -
SynchroRev Match a feature
that automatically blips the
throttle during downshifts,
eliminating the need to try and
heel-and-toe downshifts.
Inside the cabin of the 370Z is
setup that those similar to pre-
vious 350 and 370Zs will rec-
ognize. Trying to aim at a more
upscale market, there is less of
the hard plastic and more
leather and soft materials used
in the 370Z. The gauges con-
tinue to be housed in a pod that
moves as you adjust the steer-
ing wheel, and they are easy to
read with the exception of the
fuel gauge which is made up of
a bunch of lighted dots. Im not
sure where Nissan was going
with that as it can be tricky to
read. My favorite interior fea-
ture continues to be the three
center mounted gauges angled
towards the driver a throw-
back to the original Z-car.
As with most sports cars, stor-
age space is scarce. There is
only about 7 cubic feet of space
in the hatch area which is just
enough for a couple of duffle
bags.
But when it comes to driving
the 370Z, its hard to find any
faults with it.
If you liked the way prior Zs
performed, youll marvel at the
370Z because it does every-
thing better. And with the rev-
matching system, it will make
the drive to work feel like your
qualifying for Indy 500. The
V6 engine performs like a sym-
phony, with great sound and
impressive acceleration.

Blaney continues to emerge as one of
NASCARs future stars
Ryan Blaney, the 19-year-old son of Sprint Cup
veteran Dave Blaney, continues to emerge as one
of the future stars of NASCAR.
On Saturday night in the Kentucky 300
at Kentucky Speedway, Blaney got his first Na-
tionwide Series victory in just his 15th career
start in the series and his second of the current
season.
Blaney got the win in Roger Penskes
No. 22 Ford, and just getting to drive that car
was a sign of Blaneys talent. The No. 22 has
won 10 races this season with four different driv-
ers, and the other three A.J. Allmendinger,
Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano are Sprint
Cup veterans.Continues on next page

By The Numbers:
2013 Nissan 370Z Touring
Base Price: $37,820.00
Price as Tested: $43,905.00
Layout: front-engine / rear-wheel drive
Engine: 3.7 liter V6
Transmission: 6 - speed manual
Horsepower: 332 hp
Torque: 270 ft-lbs
EPA Fuel Economy: 18 city / 26 highway mpg
[Visit me at www.carsbycar.blogspot.com or email me at
autocran@gmail.com]
Numbers prove it by bringing in 0-60 times
under 5.0 seconds, making the 370Z the
fastest Z ever. Handling is razor-sharp and
gets better the faster you go. The ride is firm
and tight and not to mention very noisy,
but it shouldnt upset you or your passenger
too much. And if it does, simply toss the 370Z
into a corner, and the way it grips will make
those issues vanish. If the ride still feels a bit
firm, just stay away from the sport package
that adds in the 19-inch wheels, limited-slip
rear differential, upgraded brakes, and front
and rear spoilers. Base 370Zs make do with
18-inch wheels.
When it comes to price, Nissan has always
placed the Z well within reach of the competi-
tion, and this 370Z is no exception. With a
starting price of right around $33,200, the
370Z is still considered a bargain.
Its been over 40 years since the first Z-car
appeared, and it has been quite the ride. But
as long as Nissan keeps making strides with
their beloved sports car, the following and the
demand for it should continue.
Blaney, who is running full-time in the
Camping World Truck Series, where he has two
career wins including one this season, started sec-
ond at Kentucky and led 96 laps, including the
final 89. Austin Dillon finished second, ahead of
Matt Crafton, series points leader Sam Hornish Jr.
and Alex Bowman.
We had a great car all night, Blaney
told reporters in his winners interview. We kept
working on it throughout the race, just little
tweaks here and there. We were really strong to
start out the race and just got better and better as
the runs went on.
Blaney said that one of his biggest chal-
lenges was figuring out what to do on restarts now
that NASCAR has changed the rules and allowed
the second-place driver to keep the lead if he or
she gets past the leader before the start/finish line.
It was really tough the last few restarts
to really know what was going to happen, he
said. The way the restart rule is now, you never
know how big of a push someone can get. I was a
little worried being on the outside, but we had a
great car to be able get through [Turns] One and
Two good and be able to clear them by Three and
Four.
Hornish continues to lead the points
standings and has a 15-point edge over second-
place Dillon, who told reporters he was proud of
his teams effort.
We knew we would be good coming
here; its one of our better tracks and Im just
thankful we had a good run tonight, he said. It
was a solid run. There was just one car better.
Dillon, who won two Nationwide races
last year and has run nine Cup races this year in
anticipation of a full-time Cup schedule next year,
is still winless in Nationwide this season.
Ryan Blaney...
Kenseth makes his 500th NASCAR career start to win Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire
Points standings and race re-
sults from Sundays Sylvania
300 at New Hampshire Motor
Speedway:
1. Matt Kenseth
(finished first)
2,111 points
In his 500th
start, he won at
one of his worst
tracks and heads
into the third week of the Chase
with back-to-back wins. For
me to win at Loudon, first of
all, is more than a stretch and
more than a dream, he said.
That just shows you how good
this whole team is.
2. Kyle Busch
(finished second) 2,097 points;
behind 14
For the second
straight week, he
was runner-up to
his Joe Gibbs
Racing teammate
Kenseth. The 20 [Kenseth]
just had a special car. We tried
everything to get [ours] like
theirs. It was just stupid fast.
Hopefully, we have one of
those magical cars in the next
couple of weeks, too.
3. Jimmie Johnson
(finished fourth) 2,093 points;
behind 18
After opening
the Chase with
two top-5 fin-
ishes, hes ex-
cited about his
prospects for the coming week.
Were in a good spot, he said.
We havent given up too many
points, and were going to one
of my best race tracks next
week. So I hope to have this
Lowes Chevrolet in Victory
Lane over there.
4. Carl Edwards
(finished ninth) 2,075 points;
behind -36
He said he was
pleasantly sur-
prised to score
a top-10 finish.
We could have had a lot worse
day, he said. Obviously, we
want to be better than that, but
thats not bad.
5. Greg Biffle
(finished third)
2,073 points; be-
hind 38
He was coming
on strong at the
finish and felt he was as fast as
the Joe Gibbs Racing drivers
who finished ahead of him. It
was about to be good, he said.
I just wish [the race] was 325
[laps] instead of 300.
6. Kevin Harvick
(finished 20th) 2,072 points;
behind 39
Handling prob-
lems led to a
frustrating day.
We struggled
with handling is-
sues all day and
never could get it figured out.
Even though we didnt get the
finish we were looking for
today, were not going to let it
get us down.
7. Kurt Busch
behind 40
Like many of his fellow Chase
drivers, he struggled to make
his way through
traffic as the race
went on. We
didnt hit it right
on the adjust-
ments today, he
said. It was nobodys fault; we
all agreed what adjustments to
make, and it just didnt work
out.
8. Jeff Gordon
(finished 15th)
2,069 points; be-
hind 42
He slid through
his pit while
leading the race
and wasnt able
to overcome the lost ground. I
hadnt come close to sliding
through all day, and I guess I
carried a little bit more speed in
there and crossed the splitter
over the line by an inch, and
thats all it takes to make a dif-
ference between a chance at
winning and finishing 15th, he
said.
9. Ryan Newman
behind 47
After winning
the pole, he had
to overcome a
loose-handling
car and a mis-
take by his crew
on pit road to finish as well as
he did. I still dont understand
what happened with the car,
he said. Glad we got back up
to 16th after the deal on pit
road. Well head to Dover and
see what we can get.
10. Clint Bowyer
(finished 17th)
2,063 points; be-
hind 48
Hes still in the
news more for his
actions at Rich-
mond than what hes done in
the first two Chase races. At
New Hampshire, he wasnt able
to improve on his 16th-place
qualifying effort.
11. Dale Earnhardt Jr.
(finished sixth)
2,049 points; be-
hind 62
He overcame
early problems on
pit road and gained two spots in
the standings. Glad we were
able to get a decent finish out
of it, he said.
12. Joey Logano
(finished 14th)
2,042 points; be-
hind 69
Although New
Hampshire is his
home track and
the site of his first Cup win, its
not his favorite. It is the hard-
est race track in the world to
pass, he said. Its the most
frustrating place I think Ive
ever been to, so Im just glad to
leave.
13. Kasey Kahne
(finished 37th)
2,040 points; be-
hind 71
A hard crash on
Lap 253 left him
at a loss for an
explanation and others wonder-
ing about his well-being. I se-
riously dont really remember
how it happened, he said. I
hit the inside wall, but Im not
sure how I got there.
