As the National Hockey League draft gets closer, things are heating up for Brett Connolly. Quite literally. Connolly, an 18-year-old forward for his hometown Prince George Cougars, was in Phoenix on Friday for meetings with the NHL's Coyotes.

By the time he crossed the finish line ahead of everybody else in Saturday's ARCA West Mr. Quick Lube and Oil 100, Tim Christy had already donated a few fiberglass fenders to stock car racing science.

Chris Cupp avoided an early obstacle. In the two hours that followed, he saw nothing but open water in front of him. Cupp, a 50-year-old local paddler, won the men's solo title during Two Rivers Canoe Club invitational races on the weekend.

The last time he raced in Prince George, Dave Olson had to be towed across the finish line. He wiped out only a few car lengths from the finish of last year's 100-lap ARCA West OK Tire Challenge Series race.
