Saudi-funded Georgetown University's Bridge Initiative claims "Allahu akbar" "co-opted by anti-Muslim activists" By Robert Spencer on Jul 20, 2018 12:33 pm
In response to the Richard Dawkins "Allahu akbar" controversy, Saudi-funded Georgetown University's "Islamophobia" propaganda mill, the Bridge Initiative, has claimed that the phrase "Allahu akbar" has been "co-opted by anti-Muslim activists": The "factsheet" (in reality a deception sheet) that Bridge Initiative linked contains numerous false claims, including: "The phrase is 'recited by Muslims and Arabic […] Read in browser »
Egypt: Muslim mob screaming "Allahu akbar" encouraged by police in attack on church By Robert Spencer on Jul 20, 2018 11:45 am
Islamic law is clear: "The subject peoples … are forbidden to build new churches." (Reliance of the Traveller, o11.5). That's why these Muslims riot at the prospect of a new church being built, and why the police aid the rioters instead of the victims. The police agree with the rioters. "Egypt: Mob attack encouraged by […] Read in browser »

Paris: Muslim screaming "Allahu akbar, long live Hitler, death to Jews" assaults Jewish man, gets psych evaluation By Robert Spencer on Jul 20, 2018 11:00 am
This just another manifestation of the global outbreak of mental illness, you see. Nothing to see here. Go back to sleep, you kuffar. There is no jihad. There is no Islamic antisemitism.

Germany: Muslim migrant stabs 14 people after dropping smoking backpack on bus in Lübeck By Robert Spencer on Jul 20, 2018 10:07 am
The perpetrator is apparently "Iranian and in his 30s."

Germany: Muslim migrant murders his seven-year-old daughter, possibly during video chat with the girl's mother By Robert Spencer on Jul 20, 2018 09:52 am
A father murdering his own daughter could be an honor killing. Muslims commit 91 percent of honor killings worldwide. The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length […] Read in browser »
Austria: Muslim migrant beats Jews in front of kosher shop in Vienna By Robert Spencer on Jul 20, 2018 09:34 am
Welcome to the new, diverse, multicultural Europe.

The advance of the jihad in the West today is due more to non-Muslims than to Muslims By Robert Spencer on Jul 19, 2018 03:17 pm
The advance of the jihad in the West today is thanks to numerous non-Muslims who, for a complex of reasons, have opted to hasten the demise of their own free societies.

Nikah halala — a temporary marriage allowing a woman to return to her previous husband after a divorce. This is based on the Qur'an.

Eindhoven is the fifth largest city in the Netherlands and his home to a little over 200,000 people. The modern written history of Eidhoven begins in the 13th century, when Dutch Duke Hendrik I was given rights to lordship over the town, as well as a small castle. It grew slowly until the 19th century Industrial Revolution, which saw massive growth and construction of bridges, canals, and industrial centers.
Eindhoven was subject to air raids from the Nazis during WWII. Like much of the Netherlands, this resulted in the destruction of antiquated buildings and constructions. After WWII, the Netherlands as a whole opted for a modern high-rise focused look and feel for the country, and Eindhoven was no exception.

There is something magical that happens when your cooking and your reading and your weather all line up together. It's 14 degrees today (for the high!) and it's snowing big, fat flakes in every direction (for the second time this week!). With pure delight, I write this because it has been a very long time coming. Winter weather in the South is never usually this charismatic, so for an eternal snow lover like myself, these past few days have been absolutely fantastic.
I'm eighty pages into Ruth Reichl's latest cookbook, My Kitchen Year, where it is also winter. Ruth is writing about the freezing temperatures and the snowy landscape in upstate New York and how the seductive aromas of long-simmering onions and butter and chicken and wine have the ability to both warm the stomach and the spirit.
Today, its Ruth's birthday, so we thought it would be fun to make one (or two) of her recipes to compliment both the winter landscape we are reading about and the winter landscape we are actually experiencing. If you are unfamiliar with Ruth Reichl, she has been around the food scene since the 1970's as a writer, chef, food critic, host and magazine editor in all realms of media from print to television to radio.
I first heard of her when I was a teenager, riding up the West Side Highway with my dad and my sister. At that point, in the early 1990's, Ruth was the food critic for the New York Times. Her restaurant reviews would air on the morning commute segment of the local classical music station favorited by my dad as he battled his way through New York City traffic. The spot, sponsored by Veuve Clicquot, contained her latest restaurant review and was, to put it politely, very honest. More often than not, she disliked a restaurant or the food or the service and she wasn't afraid to say so. She'd sign off every review saying "I'm Ruth Reichl" and my sister and I used to mimic her voice in the car.
Growing up in New York, where most endeavors get scrutinized on a daily basis, I was used to reading about reviews and hearing criticisms on a variety of subjects when it came to the creative arts and emerging trends. But the way Ruth talked about food and service and presentation was elevated to a whole new level of description. Her words were candid but also sophisticated and humorous when it came to observation. Each review was a brave, opinionated tale of her own experience that flew through the air seemingly without care as to whom it might affect at the restaurant of concern or what impression it might make of herself. The three us, my dad, my sister and I thought she was pretty audacious. We used her name as our own descriptive tool when it came to trying out restaurants in the city…"Well it's no Ruth Reichl…" and all of us made special note to remember the names of the restaurants she lauded because certainly, they didn't come around often.
Fast forward a decade and a half later, I spotted Tender at the Bone, a memoir she had published in the late 1990's, for sale at an outdoor book stall in Philadelphia. I bought it, took it home and immediately called my sister. "I'm Ruth Reichl" she said and we both laughed over memories of driving with our dad on the West Side Highway. And then I actually read the book, which was marvelous and to my surprise, very vulnerable and humbling. There was no restaurant critic in her voice in these pages. It was all heart and humanity when it came to discussing family, food and growing up. And there were recipes – good ones, homey ones that everyone enjoyed – brownies, deviled eggs, pot roast, fruit tarts etc. I loved it so much, I immediately read her other two books which followed – Comfort Me With Apples and Sapphires and Garlic. Those books covered her young adult years in food, job and relationship explorations and then those famous years as a restaurant critic when her job was no easy slice of pie. These stories slashed through all my pre-conceived notions of who I thought Ruth was when I was a teenager and she was sponsored by a champagne company. And most importantly her books were my first introduction into reading food memoirs… not so much for the recipes but for the stories behind them.
For a long while, lots of things coming out of my kitchen stemmed from Ruth either in the form of recipes from her books or ones from her magazine, Gourmet, where she held down the fort as editor-in-chief. The food she featured always contained simple elegant ingredients that looked pretty on a plate and satisfied all the senses in a most appealing way. Even though I've never met her, Ruth has been a reliable companion in my kitchen, which brings us back to this post featuring her birthday celebration on today's cold winter's day. I selected these two recipes because, like the lively lady herself, they are full of depth and require some care and attention in a fun and fulfilling way. Also, they make the kitchen smell like heaven.
The vintage recipe, Show-Off Salad (aptly named because you prepare the whole thing at table in front of your fellow diners) is from Tender at the Bone and the classic yet modern day recipe Chicken Fricassee is from her latest cookbook My Kitchen Year.
Both recipes are a great representation of my memories of Ruth – they might seem a little fussy at first but at their core, they are just real, simple and basic dishes that have universal appeal. Hope you enjoy them just as much!
Make the croutons. Crush one clove of garlic and add it to two tablespoons of olive oil in a medium size pan over medium heat. Add the bread cubes and saute until the bread is crisp and golden on all sides. Drain on a paper towel and set aside.
Set a small pot of water to boil on the stove. Once the water is boiling, coddle the egg by dropping the entire egg (in its shell) into the water and boiling it for 1 minute. Remove the egg from the water and set aside.
When you coddle an egg for a salad dressing like this you are heating it (but not cooking it) really fast just below the boiling point, so it's important to use a trusted organic farm egg as opposed to generic grocery store eggs for salmonella reasons. Uncooked eggs are dangerous carriers of bacteria, so make sure your eggs are from clean, natural and reputable sources. Otherwise skip the egg part altogether.
Wash and dry the lettuce and then tear into bite-sized pieces.
This next step can be done in your kitchen – or in front of guests, it doesn't matter either way. If you prepare it in front of guests, put all the salad components on a tray and carry it out to the table to make.
Peel the remaining clove of a garlic, cut it in half and crush one half in the bottom of a big salad bowl. Add lettuce leaves and remaining olive oil. Toss thoroughly until each leaf is coated. Add the Worcestershire, and then the salt and pepper to taste. Break the egg over the lettuce and toss until leaves glisten. Stick a fork into the lemon half and squeeze the juice over the salad. Toss the leaves until the dressing begins to look creamy. Then toss in the anchovies and mix again. Adjust the seasonings (salt, pepper, lemon juice) if need be before adding the cheese and croutons.
Now that the salad is ready, consider serving it on individual salad plates rather than next to the Chicken Fricassee which is saucy and is more suited for the crunchy bread as far as plate companions go. In addition to a dinner side, this salad also makes a lovely meal just on its own too.
If you choose the skinless boneless cutlet version, this is what your chicken will look like after the quick saute.
In the same pan where you cooked the chicken, add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook until vegetables are fragrant and soft- about 10 minutes – stirring occasionally.
Add two tablespoons of flour and cook, stirring continuously until all the fat has been absorbed. Add the white wine and stir until the liquid has thickened slightly. Return the chicken to the pan. Add the broth. Add a few sprigs of parsley, salt and pepper and a bay leaf. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Partially cover and cook for about 30 minutes – 45 minutes until chicken yields when you pierce it with a fork.
In a separate pan, melt two tablespoons of butter (or two tablespoons of olive oil) and saute the mushrooms. Salt to taste and set aside.
When the chicken is ready, remove the lid and remove the chicken to a separate plate. Discard the herbs. Let the sauce mixture simmer for few more minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolks and cream together. Slowly add a small amount (about 1/2 cup) of the hot liquid to the eggs and cream and whisk quickly to temper it. Stir the egg mixture into the pan mixture, stirring constantly for about a minute. Add the mushrooms and the chicken. Add the juice of the lemon. Add one tablespoon of butter (or one tablespoon of olive oil).
Remove from heat and serve in a large bowl for the table or plate individually. Pool extra sauce around the chicken. Garnish with fresh parsley sprigs. We served this with warm crunchy French bread, the show-off salad and chilled Pinot Grigio.
In My Country Year, Ruth said this recipe reminded her of when she was living on an island (Ile d'Oleron) off the coast of France in the 1960's. This recipe will forever now remind us of the back-to-back snow days that finally arrived after many years of anticipation. Cheers to good memories, good cookbooks, and long acquaintances. Happy birthday Ruth Reichl!

The Pages to Watch feature is now available to Admins of all Facebook Pages. Essentially, it's a tool that lets you directly compare statistics for your page (increase in Likes and post engagement) to those of your competitors.
As shared on SocialMouths, Quintly compared page engagement (that is, percent of users that interact with posts by liking, commenting, or sharing) by page size and found that when normalized for number of Fans, pages with 10,000 to 100,000 Fans (Likes) had the highest rate of "People Talking About This" at over 5% in March 2013. But this data doesn't help businesses gauge how competitors in their same industry or geographical area are doing. That's where Pages to Watch comes in.
Pages to Watch allows Page Admins to select five to one hundred pages of competitors and similar companies and then keeps track of number of likes and engagement for each. For Monmouth Health & Life, one of the pages I've chosen to watch is Ocean Happening. By clicking on the Page Insights tab, I can see that Ocean Happening's number of Likes increased by 3.7% this week and they had a total of 57 Likes, Comments, and Shares on posts.
When you add a page to your "Pages to Watch" list (for Monmouth Health & Life, I've added Bergen Health & Life as an example), the Admins of that page will be notified that someone has begun watching their page. Originally the feature allowed pages to see WHO was watching their page, but now they're able to see just that "a page" is now watching them. So if you want to spy on other pages, know that they'll be aware someone's looking at them- they just won't know it's you.
It's important to note that this feature won't be accessible to everyone. According to Facebook, only pages with between 100 and 10,000 Likes are able to use the Pages to Watch feature. Many Facebook Page features- such as custom URLs and Offer Claims- are made available only once the Page has reached a certain minimum number of Likes, perhaps to require that some sort of legitimacy has been established, but it's not clear why there is 10,000 Like maximum to using Pages to Watch.
If you're a marketer that uses Facebook, then Pages to Watch will benefit you. If you run a small boutique, consider watching pages for similar stores in your area. Did they make a successful post about an upcoming sale? Perhaps your boutique would benefit from a similar promotion.
While it's still a relatively new feature, Pages to Watch allows marketers to easily compare other pages, putting the numbers right there in one feature in the insights tab on the page admin panel, rather than leaving it all up to a guessing game. Having this data all in one place will only increase the importance of knowing how to understand and interpret analytical tools for social media.

Letters, Music, Flesh: Calligraphy as Sacred Art Among Christians and Jews
Jonathan Homrighausen | Issue 105
Jonathan Homrighausen
CALLIGRAPHY, NOTES BRITISH MASTER SCRIBE Donald Jackson, requires the whole body. The energy, skill, muscle memory, and focus which Serena Williams drives into her arm's wide sweep of the tennis racket—all of that is distilled into the small strokes of the hand scribing beautiful letters. Those viewing his work, Jackson attests, can trace his body and breath in his lines.
Jackson is famous for the Saint John's Bible, an illuminated manuscript of the Catholic Bible he created in concert with a team of artists and the Benedictine monks of Saint John's Abbey in Minnesota. This unique project, finished in 2011 and billed as "America's Book of Kells," is the first handwritten, hand-illustrated Catholic Bible of its scale and quality since the time of Gutenberg. I have shown, taught, and gazed at this Bible for five years. Like many viewers, at first I was most entranced by its artwork, visual meditations on beloved passages of scripture. But as I began to practice calligraphy—what better way to train the eye than by training the hand?—I came to appreciate calligraphy as more than mere pretty letters. How, I now wonder, does calligraphy mean? What aesthetic senses, what theological affordances does it carry, for both Christians and Jews?
Sally Mae Joseph. Psalm 150 (detail), 2004. From the Saint John's Bible. Gilding on vellum. 6 x 4½ inches.
Several works from living artists suggest possibilities. Jackson describes his art as "painting with words." I add that calligraphy is music on the page. In the Saint John's Bible, Sally Mae Joseph offers a gilded treatment of Psalm 150, a psalm itself packed with instrumental imagery. The calligrapher arranges her text spatially, just as a composer or songwriter arranges her text temporally. Here the psalm opens at a loud volume: Praise the Lord! The sharp italic letters and tight texture of this block of text, with so little space between words and lines, convey a full chorus of singers. To balance that, several lines end on long notes—the wide loops in the t of "firmament," the e of "dance," and the h of "with." The thin golden lines that surround the text are oscillographs, visualizations of sound waves—the monks of Saint John's Abbey chanting psalms in the daily Divine Office. The monks' aural presence reminds us that the Psalms are oral and communal. Similarly, the spatial arrangement sets our eye's pace as we scan the lines, pausing on the long notes. Whether we realize it or not, all letters have personalities: can you imagine a Bible in Comic Sans? These gilded letters are rhythmic.
Ann Hechle, another British calligrapher of Jackson's generation, likewise uses her medium to explore the imagistic potential of letters and words. In her 1988 Be Still Then and Know that I Am God, she uses the enigmatic Psalm 46:10 to produce the calligrapher's equivalent of variations on a theme, typically a musical genre. These six variations explore the meaning of this weighted phrase in several ways, like an actor rehearsing lines with different intonations and emphases. The first one, at top left, seems to be a relatively plain rendering, but the rest each emphasize different aspects of the line. She uses line-breaks as oral pauses on the page, thus changing the meaning of the verse, as in the difference between "Be still then / know that I am God" and "Be still then / know / that I am God," and the bottom-middle's "Be still then! … and know that I am God," with the second part seemingly "spoken" more softly than the first.
Ann Hechle. Be Still Then and Know that I Am God, 1988. Calligraphy on vellum. 12¼ x 16 inches. Collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.
For the calligrapher, words are always flesh. Hechle is particularly attracted to synchronicities between the visual forms of letters and the meanings of words, just as a poet plays with sound and meaning through consonance and alliteration. In the top-middle variation, for example, the stillness of "STILL" is emphasized by its tall, upright letters, contrasted with the italicized, non-vertical letters of the rest of the line. In the top-right variation, she uses gold—a traditional symbol of God's presence—to connect the I in "STILL" with the I of "I AM GOD," visually connecting the peace of the psalmist with the presence of the great I AM. She finds a good deal of meaning in the fact that when written in Roman capitals, the word "GOD" is symmetrical, the left-hand curve of the G and the right-hand curve of the D echoing both each other and the O they encircle. The symmetry of the word "GOD" echoes the sense of order and structure which God conveys to the cosmos in biblical understandings of creation. Art historians, by the way, call this the "iconicity of script." Script is image.
The Word made flesh is, I suspect, calligraphy's ripest Christian theological potential. One can see it in the famous chi-rho page of the Book of Kells, in which the letters' alleged purpose of conveying information is thoroughly overwhelmed by mesmerizing geometry. To those of us straddling print and digital eras, "text" often seems like a platonic form in the ether. But for most of human history, letters were sculpted and shaped by the attention and skill of fleshly hands. These hands often used fleshly tools—quills made from turkey, goose, or swan feathers. They often wrote on fleshly surfaces—skins of calves, sheep, and goats—the smooth and untearable vellum which no paper yet rivals.
Laura R. Norton (artist) and Paul E. Hoffman (lyricist). No Deeper Well (detail), 2019. Watercolor and acrylic on paper. 11 x 14 inches.
Calligraphic form and theological content also mingle in the work of Laura Norton, a calligrapher in the Pacific Northwest. Norton intertwines her work with Christian spirituality and produces weekly calligraphic meditations on the Revised Common Lectionary. In her calligraphic treatment of Paul Hoffman's "No Deeper Well," a hymn with extensive baptismal imagery, the letters flow like a winding river, sending the reader's eye upward to craft an effect of optimism and joy. The counterpoint of scripts—exuberantly flourished italics and quieter informal Roman capitals—conjures the back and forth of voices in a choir. Norton speaks of the exquisite contrast between thicks and thins, created by the broad-edge nib, as a metaphor for life's thick places of joy and thin places of sorrow.
If Christians in the West largely forgot the theological art of calligraphy, Jews never did. In part this is due to the requirement that Torah scrolls be written by hand, a practice followed by even the most nontraditional communities. Sure, it's expensive. But Torah scribe Julie Seltzer responds that no mechanically printed sacred text carries the handwritten Torah's connection to the community of a "living tradition." Every Torah carries the scribe's human intention—or, as Donald Jackson might say, the "breath and heartbeat" of the scribe whose ora et labora wrought the scroll. The intentional beauty of the Torah scroll is often explained by the rabbinic concept of hiddur mitzvah, "beautifying the commandment," a concept frequently invoked by those who craft Jewish ritual implements. Jews are to fulfill the charges of Torah in "the beauty of holiness" (Psalm 29:2). The scribe rejoices in the mitzvah of creating a Torah scroll with the highly prescribed and specific text, layout, letterforms, tools, and practices established by centuries of Jewish law and custom. The scribe pours his full focus, his full body, into making each letter beautiful.
Naomi Teplow. Hallelujah (Psalm 150), 2010. Gouache on drum skin. 9 x 11 inches.
The traditional sacred craft of making Torah scrolls is complemented by the more flexible world of creative Hebrew calligraphy, aligned more with fine art than with liturgy. Kibbutz-born, Oakland-based calligrapher Naomi Teplow engages Psalm 150 calligraphically, like Sally Mae Joseph in the Saint John's Bible. Over her dining room table, Teplow explained to me that her daughter was working on replacing an old drum skin. Teplow normally does not use animal skins for art, but she realized the drum skin would be perfect for Psalm 150, in which the psalmist envisioned an audience praising God "with tambourine and dance." Teplow struck this drum not with palm or knuckle, but with nib and ink. The medium is the message. The form is the content. Teplow even emphasizes the same words as Sally Mae Joseph: the Hebrew "Hallelujah!" is the English "Praise Him!"
Jewish tradition has over many centuries developed rich practices of chanting the Bible. This is most evident in Torah services where even the mostly unpoetic passages are performed under the guidance of a series of tropes, notes, pauses, and emphases laid out over a millennium ago. These cantillation marks (te'amim) are written in Bible manuscripts and printed editions to this day. David Moss, an American-born Jew now living in Jerusalem, transforms these cantillation marks into playful colorful shapes in his Psalm 93.

Apart from the shapes of the cantillation marks, one strand of Jewish tradition elaborates on the shapes of the Hebrew letters, giving personality to their curves and lines. In The Book of Letters, Rabbi Lawrence Kushner tells one such story: Why, the ancient rabbis ask, does the Torah begin with the letter beit, which means "home"? Because we are meant to feel at home in the world, and the beit looks like a small house. Letters have personalities even apart from the words they dwell in.
French artist Michel D'anastasio infuses his Hebrew letters with gesture and movement, as in his Shalom, the Hebrew word for "peace." These letters positively dance. If you can't read Hebrew, you might get the effect even better—you can see the shapes of the letters without being distracted by what they mean. The thin lines around the letters, one of D'anastasio's signature techniques, create a sense of movement. The letters' diagonal slopes and their friendly closeness enhance the effect. The lamed, by far the tallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet, raises its arm in the air as if at a party.
The letter-body analogy goes deeper. When I worked as an art model in college, the teacher used my body to demonstrate that the average person's height is seven times the height of his head. The proportions of the human body have been studied by artists for centuries. The rest of us may not know them explicitly, but as I found looking at the students' work, we certainly notice when those rules are broken. Calligraphers too speak of proportions—often the proportion between the width of a broad-edge nib and the height of the letter. Wider nibs and short letters look squat and plump. Narrower nibs and tall letters are slender and lean. In the Roman alphabet from which the English language borrowed, perhaps the most archetypal letterform is the Roman square capital. Calligraphers learning how to write these typically work from text inscribed on Trajan's Column, erected in Rome in 112–113 CE. Its letters are carved in stone, but when written with a nib, their height is seven to eight nib widths: seven to eight heads. Perhaps there is a reason these proportions look so right to the calligraphers and typographers who study these letters.
In all calligraphy, letters are forms, and form is content. Jewish tradition understands this in a special way: Jews have kept their connection to the language of their scriptures through communal ritual and individual emotion in a way that Christians in the Latin Church have not. Even the Reformers' rejection of the Bible in Latin for a return to Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek did not result in most Christian communities praying in those languages. The emotional and liturgical power of the scripture's holy tongue, even when the ordinary believer no longer understands it, is perhaps why Jews have kept calligraphy alive. To generalize for a moment: if the written Torah scroll is the material locus of divine revelation in Judaism, for Christians the locus is not in words but in a person—the person of Jesus Christ. I am not suggesting that one is better than the other. I would suggest, however, that such theological and liturgical differences directly relate to how calligraphy means for Jews and Christians.
Christianity is thus more translatable than Judaism. Jesus speaks in all tongues, as the early church found at Pentecost. It may be not that Christians lack a holy tongue, but that Christ makes all tongues holy. The form is separable from the content. Perhaps this may be why Christians in the West let go of calligraphy as a sacred art for centuries, only for the Saint John's Bible to rouse it again in the theology of the Word made flesh—Jesus—who, we can assume, was roughly seven head-heights tall.

HOMESTEAD, Fla. – Martin Truex Jr. has shined on the track throughout the 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season, but off the track, he has faced personal battles that make his success in the race car just that much sweeter.
Truex enters the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway as one of the four competitors going for the championship. In 2017, Truex and his Furniture Row Racing No. 78 Toyota team earned three pole awards, seven victories, 18 top-five and 25 top-10 finishes. The team has placed themselves as one of the top contenders going into the Championship 4.
While Truex clicks off wins in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and dominates week in and week out, it becomes hard to forget that life away from the track has been anything but simple for the 37-year-old driver over the past several years.
In 2014, Truex's long-time girlfriend, Sherry Pollex was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. The diagnosis came as a shock to the happy couple, but as Truex does on the track every weekend, Sherry rallied hard to overcome the cancer.
In July of 2017, Pollex underwent surgery for a cancer recurrence. She continues to fight and has been doing well as the season has gone on.
Unfortunately, the hits kept coming for the driver of the No. 78, when at Kansas Speedway a member of Furniture Row Racing road crew, Jim Watson passed away suddenly from a heart attack on Saturday night in Kansas. Truex went on to win the Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway the following day, taking the team to victory lane with heavy hearts.
In early November, Furniture Row Racing owner, Barney Visser suffered a heart attack. He then underwent successful bypass surgery. Visser continues to recover, but he is doing well. He will not be present at Homestead-Miami Speedway this weekend.
After everything Truex has been through on and off the track, nothing would feel better than to hoist the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Championship trophy over his head.
How would Truex feel winning the championship?
