Dear Editor,

In NASCAR, it’s called “silly” season, when rumors of drivers leaving one racing team for another, or shop talk escalates about a driver being “let go” swirls around the circuit and eventually makes the news. Some of the “rumors” are true but a rather large percentage of them are not so true. Sometimes the teams “cook up” these stories just to draw a little more attention and support to the driver or their sponsor. It is a fact that the more something gets repeated the more people believe it to be true. It becomes the de facto truth, in other words, not quite the whole story but not really un-true, either.
