ITS A BIG RACE DAY, VIRGINIA BEATS NORTH CAROLINA

Well today is the biggest race day of the year here in the United States with the running of the Indianapolis 500 and Coca Cola World 600 as well.  The Indianapolis 500 starts at Noon and the Coke 600 starts at 6pm and will likely finish between 10 and 11pm so I probably wont be up for the finish since I have to work tomorrow.  Matt Kenseth won yesterdays Nationwide Race at Charlotte holding off Carl Edwards for the win, is was his 1st start of the season in the series.  The Virginia baseball team beat North Carolina in ACC baseball tournament last night 3-2 and will face the Florida State Seminoles this afternoon in championship game at 1pm.  The will announce the field for this years NCAA baseball tournament tomorrow afternoon.  It looks like it is going to be in the 90's most of the week here in Heights with hottest day of the week being Tuesday when the temp is suppose to be 97 and just think summer doesn't officially start until late June.  Well I have to go cut my hair.  MICKEY
