Atlanta Braves fan who
has followed the team the
last 15 years with the ques
tion, “If you had Braves tick
ets, who would you hope was
starting on the mound that
day?” I would guarantee a
large percentage would say
John Smoltz. Greg Maddux
was certainly a great winner
in Atlanta, and still is for
Chicago, but his throwing is
not going to drop any jaws.
I was at a Braves game
with my college team in 1990.
With old Fulton County
Stadium barely half full at
the time, we all moved down
from the cheap seats to set
behind the Cincinnati Reds
dugout halfway through the
game.
What was the big thing to
catch everyone’s attention?
It’s when Rob Dibble got up
to throw in the bullpen.
For those who don’t know
or don’t remember, Dibble
was a co-World Series MVP
with his other hard-throwing

Did you know that a col
lege pitcher flirted with 100
mph over the weekend? It
was University of Georgia
closer Joshua Fields against
Vanderbilt at the SEC
Tournament. He reached 99
once and 98 a couple of other
times.
So how is this guy not on
someone’s AA roster?
Got to talk about Georgia
baseball a little bit more.
There were two good come
from-behind wins in the
tournament last week, and
the Bulldogs are hosting an
NCAA regional. That’s good
news, because in this decade
Georgia’s either had a hor

It just seems like Georgia
plays the best when the
expectations aren’t the high
est. When they are high, it
just makes for a more painful
drop to the bottom.
This should warm some
people up to my Bulldog foot
ball trivia contest. Who can
remember the teams, in 2001
and 2004, Georgia beat in the
Super Regionals to make it
to the College World Series?
Here’s another one: Who
did Georgia play first in the
2001 CWS, and who was that
school’s starting pitcher?
These are a couple of free
bies. No prizes. Answers to
be revealed next time.

NASCAR tests Car of Tomorrow at Lowe's
Special to the HHJ
For the first time in its
developmental stages,
NASCAR’s Car of Tomorrow
ran in groups of six-eight
cars with the aerodynamic
wing attached to the rear,
as the first of a two-day
test session got underway
Tuesday at Lowe’s Motor
Speedway.
The feedback NASCAR
received from the drivers
was positive and all indica
tions are that the aero push
in the group runs should
make for some compelling
racing.
Teams from Hendrick
Motorsports (Brian Vickers),
Richard Childress Racing
(Jeff Burton), DEI (Martin
Truex, Jr.), Penske Racing
South (Ryan Newman),
Evernham Motorsports
(Scott Riggs), Joe Gibbs
Racing (Denny Hamlin),
Chip Ganassi (Casey Mears)
and MB2 Motorsports (Joe
Nemechek) participated in
Tuesday’s test.

“We received some excel
lent feedback from the
teams and drivers today,”
said Robin Pemberton,
NASCAR Vice President for
Competition. “They were
able to run in a pack today
for the first time with the
wing and for the most part,
everyone liked what they
saw out there.
“We’ll take this informa
tion, discuss it as a group,
and come back Wednesday
and test again.
“We’re optimistic about
running this car with the
wing and the type of aero
push it is able to give us.”
Following a series of single
car runs in the morning,
the teams met following a
lunch break and then went
through a pair of 20-lap
group runs.
The purpose of the morn
ing session was to allow
each driver to get comfort
able driving the car, while
the afternoon segment was
designed to determine how

the cars would run side-by
side and in groups.
Ryan Newman, driver of
the No. 12 Alltel Dodge,
said that while this was
his first time driving the
Penske Racing South’s Car
of Tomorrow model, he was
encouraged with the perfor
mance.
“This was our first Car of
Tomorrow test and we have
something to work from
now, that’s for sure,” said
Newman.
“Our car was a little tight,
but it really felt like it was
easier to pass than in the
regular (NASCAR NEXTEL)
Cup cars.
“The aero push was pretty
good. I think we took some
pretty big steps out there
today.”
