At Rescue Ranch, which is open to the public, the Newman family and their colleagues do…

NASCAR is standing at a crossroads and while they have taken some steps towards taking the right path, some of their future is out of their control.

Okay, NASCAR doesn’t literally need the next Tom Brady and Derek Jeter because there isn’t a lot of room in the world of racing for legendary football and baseball…

Even before Prohibition, erstwhile distillers were gathering in secret locations throughout rural areas in the south, brewing up homemade spirits to sell under the radar and away from alcohol taxes and bans. The drinks were made under the light of the moon, in hopes that no one would detect smoke rising from the stills and ultimately bust the operation—a practice that earned the booze its name “moonshine.” Moonshining dates back to the…
