--Jeremy Mayfield's foreclosed mansion will be set on fire soon for firefighter training.  When reached for comment, Mayfield replied, "I like meth".

--Sometimes sponsors come together in natural pairings:  Bass Pro Shops equipment lubricated with Mobil 1 oils.  Bush's Baked Beans served with food barbecued over Kingsford Charcoal.  Cheerios, made part of a complete breakfast with delicious Dow Chemicals.
