"While someone was being questioned regarding the fatal shooting at the Speedway Gas Station in Edison, he has been released from custody," the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office said.

Over the past eight years that I’ve been blogging and operating Internet media companies, I’ve witnessed or experienced firsthand some of the most unhinged behavior against conservatives — from individual harassment and intimidation, to e-mail bombs and e-mail hackings, to troll infestations, distributed denial of service attacks, coordinated spam block attacks, and death threats. Over the past twenty years that I’ve worked in daily opinion journalism, written books, and traveled across the country speaking in every type of venue, I’ve always believed that the most effective response to attempted censorship of conservatives is more speech, not less. More. Louder. Bolder....

FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. (Aug. 11, 2009) — In the event of a terrorist attack at Kansas Motor Speedway, the Missouri National Guard’s 7th Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team would likely be called to assist first responders. The unit spent a week recently training at the speedway alongside civil support teams from Kansas and Nebraska for Operation Rolling Thunder. “It was three days of very valuable joint training,” said Lt. Col. Raymond White, unit commander. “We worked in concert with the other teams and learned a lot.” After the field training began on the second day, the Missouri...

HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) -- The Atlanta Motor Speedway looks as if it was in a high-speed crash. Entire sections of its grandstand and luxury boxes are shredded. Oak trees, flagpoles and a light tower are snapped. On some of the speedway's condominiums, the roof is caved in, windows are shattered.

Mooresville may be Race City USA and, yes, stock car racing has its roots in the N.C. foothills, but a number of other states have been quietly working to lure the industry away from here with sweet economic incentives. And for good reason: Seventeen years ago, when the last economic impact study on motorsports was done, the industry did a $500 million per year business in North Carolina. Another study is about to be done, and the numbers are certain to far surpass that. If North Carolina ultimately strengthens its grip on motorsports by fending off the overtures of other...
