II Receives Notice of Delinquency from Nasdaq – Shares Await Compliance Plan**Tim Brown is going to race with the big boys of NASCAR in February at The Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium. Brown, 53, who is the all-time winner in the Modified Division at the historic track, will be getting a car to drive in The Clash on Feb. 2 at 8 p.m. Rick Ware, left, is giving Tim Brown a car to drive in The Clash on Feb. 2. The preseason NASCAR All-Star race will have the top Cup drivers racing 200 laps at Bowman Gray Stadium. Brown, who works fulltime at Rick Ware Racing in Mooresville and is a suspension and drivetrain specialist, will drive a car the No. 15 Ford Mustang Dark Horse in The Clash. He’ll also be driving his Modified car on Feb. 1 that same weekend. “I’ve worked my whole life to try to be a Cup driver,” Brown told Rick Ware Racing in a news release. “I’m good with working on racecars for a living because it’s still a pretty cool gig, but I always wanted to drive for a living. For Rick Ware and everybody involved here at RWR to give me the chance to go run a Cup race is so humbling and so heartwarming. It’s really cool.” People are also reading... Modified driver Tim Brown (83, right) hugs his brother and pit crew chief, Ben, after winning the first 25-lap Modified race on Saturday, July 27, 2024, at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, N.C. Brown, a 12-time track champion who has 101 Modified wins, has 146 career poles in his time racing at Bowman Gray Stadium. His 101 wins are the most in Bowman Gray Stadium history. Ware is a former driver who transitioned to team ownership after too many injuries. He said giving Brown this chance is the right move. “As someone who understands what it’s like to try to achieve goals and move up the racing ladder, it’s just a great opportunity for Tim and it’s something we’re proud to do,” Ware said. “We’ve had the opportunity to give a lot of drivers their first Cup start, and this is one that’s very well-deserved, especially at this track.” Brown owns the fastest lap ever recorded (12.965 seconds on April 30, 2016) on the track. He won every pole during the 2003 season, and his championships span four decades, with titles in 1996, 1997, 1998, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2012, 2015, 2021 and 2022. Tim Brown poses with his family and crew after his 100th win in the Modified Division at Bowman Gray Stadium on Saturday, June, 29, 2024. Brown certainly knows the track and will have a busy weekend with the Madhouse Clash, which is a 75-lap race that will be run on Saturday. He will then turn around and race on Sunday night in The Clash. “That time in the Modified will be very helpful for multiple reasons,” Brown said about the busy weekend. “NASCAR has already done some updates to the stadium with soft walls and things like that. That’s going to change the line of the racetrack because you make the track smaller.” Brown said the lines have changed with the upgraded track. “The line that we generally run, you won’t be able to run because they run right out against the wall,” Brown said. “If the soft walls take up two-and-a-half or three feet, now that’s three feet that you can’t let the car drift out to the wall. Just getting some track time before we climb in the Cup car, which I’ve never driven before other than on the chassis dyno, will be very helpful.” Tim Brown poses with his wife, Megan, daughter Marley and son Cam after his 100th win in the Modified Division at Bowman Gray Stadium on Saturday. Brown has been building Cup cars since he was in high school, first with Cale Yarborough Motorsports and through the many iterations of Cup technology, including the current-generation car. “I’ve been Cup racing for almost 35 years now, and I don’t know that you’ll find a Cup driver who actually gets to build his own Cup car from the ground up, chassis dyno it, and then go race it,” Brown said. “These guys that work here at RWR, they’re my buddies and they’re all racers, and we get to do this as a group effort. I actually get to put the nuts and bolts on it, and mount a seat, put the motor in it, and go drive it on the chassis dyno before I run it in the Clash. That’s pretty cool.” Brown said being at the highest level of NASCAR and racing in an event is something he dreamed about since he started racing at Bowman Gray Stadium at age 19. “The guys who race these Cup cars today are elite,” Brown said. “They’re the best drivers in the world, and I’m not even going to put myself in that same category. I’m just going to do the best I can. “I want to climb out of that thing at the end of the Clash and see my son, my daughter and my wife with big smiles on their faces and knowing that we did the best we could because, I promise you, I’m going to give it 110%. I just want to enjoy the moment, relish it and soak it all in. I’m not going to leave there and say, ‘Hey, I’m a Cup driver, now.’ I’m just going to leave knowing this was the experience of a lifetime.” Tim Brown spins after a push from Brian Loftin in the second 50-lap Modified Division race last week. Brown won the first 50-lap race last week for his 99th career win. Ware says NASCAR returning to the grassroots of racing means drivers like Brown should get a chance. “At Bowman Gray, Tim really has the same opportunity as anybody else,” Ware said. “He was with Roush for decades before he was with us. He’s a very good mechanic. He’s built all his own racecars, and he understands racing. I think he’s got an inside track just because he has touched every single part of these cars. He’s a racer, and particularly at this track, he’s got a lot of experience.” jdell@wsjournal.com 336-727-4081 @johndellWSJ Get local news delivered to your inbox! {{description}} Email notifications are only sent once a day, and only if there are new matching items.777 super ace jili 。

It is one of the worst socio-economic realities. Its philosophy was based on divide and rule. The indivisible Rwandan society, going by scientific parametres, had to be divided at any cost basing on concocted fallacies. It was to cost Rwandans so much. Political parties at the beginning lacked insight into real intentions of colonialism. In 1960, the transition from what PARMEHUTU called a feudal, colonialist and racist monarchy had become impossible. PARMEHUTU put forward the idea of two confederated regions, one for the Tutsi and the other for the Hutu. They drew examples from the Flemish and Walloons in Belgium. ALSO READ: A glance at socio-political chaos that followed Rudahigwa’s sudden death This was submitted to the United Nations and areas suitable for each group were proposed. To them, the Tutsi and the Hutu differed fundamentally. The advocates of two zones for each group centred on the idea that one group would be eliminated. The racial myth created by the colonialists for ulterior motives had gripped Rwandan politicians. This serialized narrative aimed at charting the objective history of Rwandans. Rwandans from time immemorial lived together intertwining and intermingling. Legend has it that Gihanga, the creator of Rwanda, crisscrossed the region and went up to Bunyabungo (in today’s DR Congo). Wherever he passed and lived he was welcome thanks to his civility and technological know-how. He would be given a daughter in marriage. ALSO READ: How circumstances overtook Kigeli V Ndahindurwa Gihanga was versed in metalwork, woodwork and pottery as well as in hunting, cattle rearing and fire making. He is believed to have had talents in leadership, technology and spirituality. Buhanga, in today’s Musanze District, is believed to have been the cradle of Rwanda nation-state. There he was with all the wives he got across his itinerary. Programmes for most political parties had similarities. The difference lay in internal autonomy and independence. UNAR party wanted independence from Belgian colonialists and with no strings attached. Internal autonomy which meant collaboration with Belgians was rejected. The other three parties wanted the democratization of the country first. Gitera saw independence as a witch hunt of whites. To him it was the same as bringing back supposed forced labour, exploitation and tyranny of the Tutsi. ALSO READ: Mutara III Rudahigwa became Belgian choice after Musinga’s disgrace Political parties began campaigns after the approval of the multiparty system. UNAR opposed colonialism. In the meeting of September 1959 held at Nyamirambo, its leaders discussed national unity, autonomy and independence. In the beginning, UNAR is said to have enjoyed success because of their political stand. This made most chiefs and sub-chiefs join the party. One R. Lemarchand, A French-American political scientist attributed UNAR’s success to nationalism, which united all Rwandans towards progress in all forms. In 1995 he was to write the book: “Rwanda: The Rationality of Genocide”. He will be of help in this series as we progress to project objective Rwandan history. UNAR met strong opposition from the trusteeship administration and to an extent the Catholic church. The Belgian colonial administration used all means to destabilize UNAR. Three influential chiefs in UNAR: M. Kayihura, P. Mungarulire and C. Rwangombwa were transferred maliciously. A pretext was hatched accusing them for having attended UNAR meeting when they were civil servants. The trusteeship administration sabotaged UNAR during campaigns. Bishops Bigirumwami and Perraudin are said to have warned Catholics against UNAR. UNAR thought that those who were not with them were against the country. By demanding immediate independence and breaking ties with the metropolitan power earned them being accused of collaboration with other African nationalists, hence their inclination to communism.
