Kentucky coach Calipari pace car drive must wait - NASCAR News | FOX Sports on MSN

SPARTA, Ky. (AP)
Rain kept Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari from driving the (fast) lane before Saturday night's NASCAR race.
Initially slated to ride shotgun as the honorary pace car driver for the 400-mile Sprint Cup Series race at Kentucky Speedway, Calipari was asked to drive the Ford Fusion leading the 43-car field to the green flag.
Unfortunately for Calipari, showers forced NASCAR to postpone the race just after 9 p.m. and reschedule it for noon Sunday. The coach had expressed confidence that the race would be run, but he now must make another trip here and figure out how to make it up to his wife on their vacation.
''The good Lord knows how mad my wife is right now,'' Calipari said before knowing he might have to take another vacation day.
Facing the music from his spouse could be even scarier than Calipari's pace car tutorial from 2004 champion Kurt Busch.
His crash-course instruction included 90-mph splits in the rain around the 1.5-mile oval by Busch, which had the coach ''white-knuckled'' and holding on tightly on the passenger side as the car came within inches of the outside retaining wall. Fortunately for Calipari, he only has to drive a more comfortable 45 mph ahead of the field.
''When I went 45 (mph), I wasn't nervous,'' Calipari said, ''but when he (Busch) was going 90 and 100 (mph) in that rain, all these grooves are great, I'm thinking, `Oh, my gosh.'
''I had one arm on the mirror grabbing it, and the other hand was on the window. He was flying, for me. These guys are used to it, but it was fast. And it was raining.''
Calipari got one perk, a specially-made racing jacket embroidered with the terms ''eight-time'' - referring to Kentucky's eight national championships - and his trademark ''Refuse to Lose'' slogan. Drivers also signed the jacket, which will be auctioned for charity.
''I did it like a driver would have,'' he said.
Calipari seemed happier at the prospect of being an active participant in NASCAR, a sport Calipari said he has followed since his days at the University of Massachusetts. The process involved going on the thrill ride of his life.

Genomic atlas of gene switches in plants provides roadmap for crop research
June 30, 2013 ? What allows certain plants to survive freezing and thrive in the Canadian climate, while others are sensitive to the slightest drop in temperature? Those that flourish activate specific genes at just the right time -- but the way gene activation is controlled remains poorly understood.
A major step forward in understanding this process lies in a genomic map produced by an international consortium led by scientists from McGill University and the University of Toronto and published online today in the journal Nature Genetics.
The map, which is the first of its kind for plants, will help scientists to localize regulatory regions in the genomes of crop species such as canola, a major crop in Canada, according to researchers who worked on the project. The team has sequenced the genomes of several crucifers (a large plant family that includes a number of other food crops) and analyzed them along with previously published genomes to map more than 90,000 genomic regions that have been highly conserved but that do not appear to encode proteins.
"These regions are likely to play important roles in turning genes on or off, for example to regulate a plant's development or its response to environmental conditions," says McGill computer-science professor Mathieu Blanchette, one of the leaders of the study. Work is currently underway to identify which of those regions may be involved in controlling traits of particular importance to farmers.
The study also weighs in on a major debate among biologists, concerning how much of an organism's genome has important functions in a cell, and how much is "junk DNA," merely along for the ride. While stretches of the genome that code for proteins are relatively easy to identify, many other 'noncoding' regions may be important for regulating genes, activating them in the right tissue and under the right conditions.
While humans and plants have very similar numbers of protein-coding genes, the map published in Nature Genetics further suggests that the regulatory sequences controlling plant genes are far simpler, with a level of complexity between that of fungi and microscopic worms. "These findings suggest that the complexity of different organisms arises not so much from what genes they contain, but how they turn them on and off," says McGill biology professor Thomas Bureau, a co-author of the paper.

Dick Harmon: BYU football: Hall of Fame quarterback Marc Wilson talks about Jim McMahon, his days in Provo
BYU Football Media Day at the BYU Broadcast Building on June 26
Mark A. Philbrick, BYU
Former BYU quarterback Marc Wilson, a College Football Hall of Fame inductee and consensus All-American, sat down with Deseret News columnist Dick Harmon during BYU's media day last week. It was a reunion of sorts. Harmon?s first nationally published sports article was a feature on Wilson that ran in the Sporting News in 1979.
Q: Could you give us an update on what you are doing these days?
Wilson: I?ve actually started a startup company six months ago. I started it here in Utah. We have the rights to a brain health product out of Canada. It has about 20 clinical health studies behind it. It?s something for everybody. It?s all about calming, clarity and coping, and it's called 'Q Sciences.' My wife and I have four kids and we?ve been married for 36 years. Three of them are married. All have graduated from BYU and they are spread out, which makes it harder. We have three grandchildren. Life is good.
Q: How much do you keep track of your old team? Has BYU?s independence increased exposure from your perspective?
Wilson: BYU or the Raiders? I don?t follow (BYU) religiously, but after the games I pick up the paper and read about the games and the stats and see how everyone did. It?s not as easy in Seattle as it is here to follow. (Independence) is interesting, but I?m an old-school guy who misses rivalries and all that history. Now we don?t talk about that stuff. It's different schools. They are great schools, but schools we don?t have much history with.
Q: You and fellow College Football Hall of Fame quarterback Jim McMahon shared playing time in 1978. What do you remember about playing with McMahon?
Wilson: I loved playing with McMahon. Jim was a great player and teammate. The thing I love the most about Jim is during my junior year (in 1978), Wally English was coordinator, (and) it was a rough year. I don?t talk about it much. We had been so prolific with our offense and Wally came and changed everything and I don?t know if we even led the WAC in passing that year. Doug Scovil came back the next year and we got back to leading the nation. The interesting thing about Wally is he wanted to change everything offensively because, if he didn?t, he wouldn't be given credit. And he wouldn?t be given credit if it were the same players Doug had and system Doug used. One thing he wanted to do is change the quarterback. I?ve often thought about it. Jim was a young guy and he didn?t want to sit on the bench. It would have been so easy for Jim to fall into that, but he?d have nothing to do with it; he recognized it for what it was and he didn?t want any part of it. I?ve always loved him for that.
Q: What do you remember most about your seven-touchdown performance in your first college start at Colorado State?
Wilson: I remember a lot of things about that. The night before that game ? well the whole week before that game ? I was a nervous wreck. It?s one thing to be a backup and play the last minutes of the final quarter when you are up 50 points on everybody and then actually start. I got to play late in games because we were up by a lot and Gifford Nielsen led the nation in about every category you could imagine. The night before the game I was wandering around the hotel nervous as heck, going in and out of my room and saw one of these postcards and decided I?d write my dad a postcard. I wrote him, ?Dad, I?m dedicating this game to you because most likely I?ll never start another college game.? He?s kept that card to this day.?
Q: In 1979 at San Diego State in your last regular-season game as a senior you threw three touchdown passes in your first three passes on national TV. What?s one of your best memories of that day?
