Best part of covering American politics are the people you meet & the roads that take you to them.

Trains were as big a part of Appalachian culture as coal was, and spots like this are where the best stories begin.

What a week for Caden Kvapil. Last Saturday he wins the Virginia Triple Crown & the Valley Star 300 at Martinsville. Last night he claims another win on the CARS Tour at Newport along with the tour championship. Along with his brother Carson, they are the first set of brothers to win Late Model Tour titles. Caden also has a Pro Late Model title where Carson also has a Super Late Model title sanctioned by the tour.

Primitive peoples had to track the motion of the stars, moon, sun, and planets over generations to predict the season changes with accuracy.

Trace my roots to hills of KY too. My mother was a coal miner's daughter. Her oldest brother died of black lung. My father lied about his age to get into the military to escape. Most will never understand Appalachian culture no matter what song is sung!
You’ve been tasked with explaining Appalachian culture to a room of tourists vacationing in the mountains.
You can use one movie, one song, and reference one influential person (science, sports, acting, musician, etc…) to best blow their minds.
What are you swinging through the door with?
Movie- Lawless (2012) for Moonshine Culture
Song- “You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive” by Darrell Scott for Coal Country and it’s one of the best songs ever written
Person- @realhomerhickam Hokies 🤟, rockets, books, movies, intellect, and that’s a fraction.

On Oct 1st through the 4th I will personally protest the fuel prices by shutting down my truck.
You feel free to protest or not by doing whatever you feel is in your best interest.
The National Truckload Index (NTI) reflects a year-over-year spot rate increase from $2.40 per mile to $3.42 per mile—a total gain of $1.02 per mile. However, diesel fuel prices surged by over $0.90 per mile over the same timeframe.
While linehaul spot rates excluding fuel (NTIL) remain approximately $0.70 per mile higher than last year, the sheer magnitude of the fuel spike creates severe cash-flow friction for carriers.

Logan Ryan says he spent 4 years trying to beat Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and Julian Edelman to work and never did
“Tom Brady was a great leader. He told me, ‘If you ever need anything, I’m here all day.’ I said, ‘Well, what time do you get here?’ He just said, ‘Early.’ I said, ‘How early is early?’ And he goes, ‘Early.’”
“We started our days at 7:30am, so I came in at 6:30. You were there. Brady was there. Bill was there. Then I came in at 6:00am. Brady was there. You were there. Bill was there.”
“In New England, we didn’t have assigned parking spots. It was first come, first serve. There wasn’t a spot for the head coach, a spot for Tom Brady, a spot for Julian Edelman. It was a free-for-all.”
“So I started coming in at 5:30am, 5:45, 5:15, then 5:00 AM. I was like, ‘I can’t do anything earlier than 5:00am. That’s just getting ridiculous. I’m not getting enough sleep.’”
“So I came in at 5:00am every day for four years. And Brady was there. You were there. Bill was there. I was the fourth car there for four straight years.”
“When I went to Tennessee, I came in at 5:00am every day and was the second car there with Vrabel. My 5am routine came from trying to beat you guys to work every day. I knew that you could talk how you talked and play how you played because you put the work in to earn that.”
“Everywhere I went after that, I was the first car in the parking lot. Did I have to be? Not all the time. But I made that my routine. I made it normal. I got all that from how early you guys got there every day.”

When I was young I’d jump into my grandpas truck and he’d always have it on the local station, playing mostly bluegrass and older country.
I couldn’t wait to find a chance to change it to a rock station, but rarely that opportunity presented itself. So I’d go down the road listening to those old tunes, not having a clue how much I’d miss it one day.
Now when I’m driving my kids around town I’ll often have it on that same station, that’s playing the old country that was new when I was young. Time is just borrowed, it can’t be bought, but damn if I’d give almost anything to go back, if just for a day.
