Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

On day one of this week’s Cup race (Sunday), during pre-race festivities, adjectives like ‘sketchy’, ‘edgy’, and ‘out-of-control’ were used to describe racing at Michigan Speedway. On day two (Monday), those words and phrases seemed a bit prophetic, as there were wild wrecks and upside-down cars. Of course, you don’t need anything to alert you ahead of time to commercials during the broadcast, as they will always appear.
