Miscellaneous.




"Big George" Bernard Helms of Talent, Oregon, always wanted to be able to take a NASCAR ride.

Last Friday, he got his wish, more than two months after his death last December.

ESPN has an earlier story here.

His obit, with the link good for a year, is here. You have to search the archives under "Helms."

I went to high school with him in Phoenix, Oregon. He graduated in 1971.
