Fast Cars, Budweiser Beer, Hot Babes…and Toyotas? NASCAR’s Japanese Invasion
It still doesn’t look quite right to see a Toyota Camry whipping around the curves of the Daytona 500, and although Toyota cars came in 3rd and 4th at this year’s legendary NASCAR race, the foreign auto maker is dominating the stock car circuit. This season a Toyota-driver, Kyle Busch, is leading the driver standings and Toyota is also leads Ford, Cheverolet and Dodge in the manufacturer standings. Toyota’s success in NASCAR comes during a time that the Japanese automaker is on the ascent while Detroit’s “Big Three” have suffered devastating losses of finances, sales and resources. Can a quintessentially American tradition like NASCAR accept a winning Japanese import?

Strength in Numbers – The Law Works Together
Law enforcement agencies at the local, state, and federal level worked together in two recent sweeps in Los Angeles, culminating in the arrest or indictment of more than 120 gang members. Cooperation among the agencies is a result of recent efforts to share information and join resources to go after gangs and gang-related crime, unlike the past when the police, the FBI, the U.S. Attorney, etc., worked separately with little or no coordination of knowledge or investigations. Does this sea-change in tactics put gangs on the run? We ask the experts.
