Ottawa Hosts Great Race Pit Stop With Warm Welcome
Ottawa welcomed more than 70 vintage cars for a Great Race pit stop. Rex Gardner drove the 1917 Hudson Indy Speedster amid snow and hail as drivers timed to set targets for a $250,000 purse and Ottawa’s $5,000 library prize. Local volunteers, cheerleaders, and pie offers created a festive, period-voiced stopover likely to lure organizers back.

The Kansas Conservative Split in Miller Graves Clash
David S. Awbrey argues that Sam Brownback betrays Kansas social conservatives by remaining neutral in the Miller Graves race. He labels Brownback as a Washington player allied with establishment Republicans and predicts outcomes that would affect the state’s future tax, abortion, and education policies. The column frames Miller as Kansas social conservatism’s founder and warns that neutrality risks democratic decay.
