The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series is one race away from the 2024 playoffs. Here’s where things stand:. It’s been a two-horse race between Christian Eckes and Corey Heim all season. At 673 points, Eckes leads the way in driver’s points by 50 markers despite just three victories — two fewer than Heim. It would take a catastrophic circumstance for Eckes to surrender the points lead during the regular-season finale at Richmond (Va.) Raceway.

History Facts lists eight names US parents no longer give their newborns, which you may no longer hear in Virginia. The girls' names are Doris, Gertrude, Mildred, and Judith. I know or have known women with all four names, but they are either baby boomers or boomer parents' ages and someone's grandma or great aunt. Consider the ages of females in Virginia you know with these names.
