Can Dale Earnhardt Jr. replicate his 2005 win at Chicagoland Speedway in his race in Joliet?

BY MARK GREGORY Sports Reporter @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

In the first season under the new points system, Martin Truex Jr. took full advantage as he 0enters the playoffs as the top seed. He tied all drivers with four wins, which hold a value of worth five playoffs points apiece, and he’s won a series-best 18 stages - worth one playoff point each. He is also the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series 2017 Regular Season Champion. Winning the regular-season title adds an additional 15 playoff points. Truex looked to have another win secured at Richmond Saturday night, but a caution with four laps remaining allowed Kyle Larson to grab his fourth win of the season and lock up second place in the playoff format. “Our Auto-Owners Insurance Toyota was the class of the field by far,” Truex said. “(It is) very disappointing on the way the race ended for us. I’m not really happy about what happened. It spoiled a dominating performance again by our team. It’s just a shame we got

beat out of the pits. Our car was never good on restarts all night long so we were kind of a sitting duck out there.” Despite the loss in the final race of the regular season, Truez is still happy to be ahead of Larson overall as he looks to be the first-ever Cup champion from Furniture Row Racing. “Obviously I think it’s a good thing that we have (playoff points), and I think we could have used them last year with the way the playoffs worked out for us,” Truex said. “We need to focus on running as strong as we possibly can and keep the momentum going that we’ve had lately. Cars have been just lightning fast and teams have been doing a great job. We’ve got a few little things to work on, but all in all, I feel like we’re definitely one of the strongest teams. Hopefully we can just continue to perform at the level we’re capable of, and we don’t need those bonus points, but it’s going to be nice to have them, that’s for sure.” Under the new points system, all drivers’ points will be reset to 2000, with those in the playoffs having bonus points for the regular sea-

It will be the same as in the old Chase format, where the bottom four drivers will be eliminated after three races until only four drivers remain at Homestead in Miami. While a win still trumps all and locks you into the next round, the difference this season is Playoff points earned for race wins or for leading at the end of Stage 1 or

Stage 2 now will carry over roundby-round if a driver continues advancing. It’s not just for the first round any more. Additionally, drivers can build off and add to those bonus points. So if a driver has 70 playoff points heading into the postseason, and then wins the playoff opener (fivepoint bonus), they would advance to the next round and carry 75 ad-

ditional points - or more, depending on the results over the next two races in the round. This counts in every advancement except leading into Miami. For the final race of the season, the top four drivers will have points set equally and the first driver of the four across the finish line will be the 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series.

Races were won, food was eaten, and most importantly, funds were raised during a successful event at Lewis University. The Foodie 5K, which benefited the Northern Illinois Food Bank, was run on the Lewis campus September 9 with food and fun following. Mayor John Noak was on hand to present awards to the quickest runner in each age group. “It was great handing out awards to the fastest finishers,” said Noak. “We are very thankful for everyone who participated in raising funds for the Northern Illinois Food Bank. Helping to feed the hungry, no matter how you do it, is truly worthy of an award.” The food bank is planning to build a South Suburban Center in Joliet by the end of the year. Currently, they serve 71,000 hungry neighbors each week across 13 counties. That commitment provided 57 million meals last year to those in need.

Last year, nearly 10,000 came out for the Day of the Immigrant hosted by the SSIP.

Festival plans for Day of Immigrant DACA meeting Sept. 14 By Laura Katauskas Bugle Staff @BugleNewspapers sweditor@buglenewspapers.com

Perhaps in its most tumultuous year to bring awareness of the celebrations of the immigrant, the Southwest Suburban Immigrant Project is preparing for a festival that is expected to draw thousands. The SSIP will be hosting the 7th annual Day of the Immigrant from 2 to 11 p.m. Sept. 23 at the Bolingbrook Performing Arts Center, 375 Briarcliff Road. A family fun event, a resource fair, kids’ activities, live music, folkloric ballet performances, beer garden, and food will round out the

festival. The event is designed to strengthen the voices of the immigrant community living in the southwest suburbs in Will and DuPage Counties. Jose Vera, executive director of SSIP, is a graduate of Bolingbrook High School and a “Dreamer,” one of many undocumented immigrants in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, has been working to build the event each year. The Day of the Immigrant was first celebrated in 2010. A small grassroots efforts initiative, the SSIP first began with a march through downtown Naperville to bring attention to the need for comprehensive immigration reform and ended with a day of community service. The event and organizers have not shied from their original mis-

sion, and have expanded it expeditiously, now being seen as a “powerhouse” in the southwest suburbs with more than 10,000 attendees at last year’s event. This year’s event will continue to support SSIP’s mission of community organizing for the rights of immigrants in Chicago’s southwest suburbs through education, civic engagement, and advocacy. In light of recent events, the SSIP also is hosting an informational meeting: The Future of DACA from 6:30 to 8 p.m. tonight, Sept. 14 at St. Dominic Church, 440 E. Briarcliff Road, Bolingbrook. There will be immigration attorneys present, ready to answer any questions in addition to information about joining the group.

Preserve using electrofishing techniques Electrofishing technique used to measure fish for contaminates in the water When Rob Miller searches for fish, he doesn’t bring a fishing pole. Miller, District 8 fisheries biologist for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), has more sophisticated equipment that he uses to see what kind of fish are swimming in a four-county area, including Will County and the lakes owned by the Forest Preserve District. His boat is equipped with “droppers,” which are flexible metal cables, and alternating current (AC). He uses the equipment for electrofishing to stun fish near his boat so they can be measured and weighed. It is one of several sampling techniques that can be used to evaluate a lake’s fish population, Miller explained. Collecting fish assists in determining trends and helps to guide management decisions, he said.

The Forest Preserve works in cooperation with IDNR to make these management decisions, but deciding which fish will be stocked in Illinois waters is ultimately determined by the state. Electrofishing also is used to obtain fish that are tested for contaminants. Miller used the electrofishing technique September 8 at Lake Renwick in Plainfield to obtain fish samples to be sent to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency for contaminant analysis. In general, he collects fish species that are at the higher end of the food chain because they will be more likely to have ingested contaminants. His samples include bottom feeders (catfish and bullheads), omnivorous fish (carp), and top predators (largemouth bass and walleye). “From those tests, that is where your contaminant consumption advisories come from,” he said. “We do these on a rotational basis every three to five years and we try to hit all of the lakes.” Whalon Lake is scheduled to be surveyed September 20-21. This will be a general survey where specimens collected via electrofishing will be measured and weighed and returned to SEE PRESERVE PAGE 4

Legislation cracking down on hate crimes now law ‘Hate has no place in our country and those who commit these horrific crimes must be brought to justice’ Legislation backed by state Rep. Larry Walsh, D-Joliet, to crack down on hate crimes against houses of worship and increases penalties for those convicted of committing hate crimes was recently signed into law. “Hate has no place in our country and those who commit these horrific crimes must be brought to justice,” Walsh said. “This legislation will ensure our religious centers are protected and makes it easier for victims of hate crimes to receive financial compensation.” Responding to incidents of vandalism and racist graffiti targeting houses of worship throughout Illinois, Walsh helped pass House Bill 2390 to allow police and prosecu-

tors the ability to charge criminals who target religious institutes with a hate crime. This measure also requires community service ordered following a conviction must be performed in the county where the offender was convicted of the crime. Individuals convicted of committing hate crimes must attend in-person educational classes focused on discouraging hate crimes against the targeted group. House Bill 2390 also gives judges the ability to determine a fair financial amount based on the severity of the crime and damages suffered by the victim or house of worship. Parents and legal guardians would also be financially responsible for crimes committed by minors

Walsh also recently cosponsored House Resolution 569, which condemns white supremacists, neoNazis, the Ku Klux Klan, and any other group that espouses hate and seeks to undermine the ideals of Illinois and the nation. It also mourns the death of Heather Heyer who was killed when a white supremacist drove his car into a group of people protesting against hate and the deaths of Virginia state troopers Lt. H. Jay Cullen and Trooper Berke M. M. Bates, whose helicopter crashed in the area. “We are not born with hate in our hearts, we learn it, and the only way to eliminate hate is by increasing education and awareness,” Walsh said. “This measure will require those convicted of hate crimes to attend education classes about the group they targeted in the hopes of helping eliminate their hateful views.”

Police seeking public’s help with triple shooting Social media posts are playing a part into the investigation FROM BUGLE REPORTS Joliet police continue investigating the deaths of three 22-year-olds found shot to death in a home on Joliet’s far west side Sept. 7. Social media posts are playing a part into the investigation of the triple homicide in the 2000 block of Great Falls Drive. Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton told WJOL they’re following up on several leads including social media posts that include pictures of various guns. The victims appeared to have been shot to death sometime overnight, Joliet police Chief Brian Benton said last week. The Will County Coroner’s Office identified the victims on Sept. 8 as Anthony

M. McGee, 22, of West Chicago; Gabriella M. Rueda, 22, of West Chicago; and Emmanuel Hernandez-Arroyo, 22, of Plainfield. “We don’t believe this was a random act,” Benton said, adding police are investigating the deaths as homicides. All three suffered multiple gunshot wounds according to the coroner’s office. Final cause and manner of death is pending toxicology, police and autopsy reports.

Benton said police were called to the home for a death investigation around 3 p.m. Thursday. He said the caller told police about the bodies in the home. Benton said several people were at the home Wednesday night for a party. He could not say whether the victims lived in the home, were related or were partygoers. But all three victims were found inside the home in the same room and there were no signs of a break-in, Benton said. Benton said many of the people at the party left by the early morning hours on Sept. 7.

The statement must be signed by the registered owner of the vehicle and the insurance agent must verify that no flood claim was filed for the vehicle at the time of the hurricane. Any applicant unable or unwilling to supply the signed form will receive an Illinois Flood title only. “We are taking every step possible to ensure that flood damaged vehicles from Hurricane Harvey do not receive clean titles in Illinois,” White said. “In addition to the extra scrutiny these vehicles receive from my office, we are providing a link on our website at www. cyberdriveillinois.com to the National Insurance Crime Bureau’s database of known hurricane damaged vehicles that consumers may check themselves.” Media reports indicate that as many as 500,000 vehicles may be affected by

Consumers may want to consult companies that provide additional information about the history of vehicles. In addition, it is always a good idea to have a mechanic inspect a vehicle before making a purchase. “While my office will do everything it can to protect Illinoisans, it is always important that consumers also take active steps to protect themselves from purchasing damaged vehicles.” White also said that Carfax is providing a link to check for flood vehicles.

POWER Nickeloden and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set for weekend take over Chicagoland Speedway

Darrell “Bubba” Wallace will join the lineup for Nickelodeon’s upcoming Tales of the Turtles 400 race weekend at Chicagoland Speedway, driving the No. 98 Nickelodeon Slime Ford in the NASCAR XFINITY race for Biagi DenBeste Racing and Richard Petty Motorsports (RPM). Wallace competed in the RPM No. 43 Ford in four Monster Energy Series races this year filling in for the injured Aric Almirola, where he tallied two Top-15 finishes. Wallace found Victory Lane this season in the Camping World Truck Series at Michigan International Speedway in his first Truck Series race since 2014, giving the Alabama native six wins in his Truck Series career. A NASCAR XFINITY Series veteran, Wallace has 84 starts in the series and was on a roll of sixth-place finishes earlier this season in the No. 6 Ford.

“I’m really glad to get back behind the wheel of a race car,” said Wallace. “Chicago has always been a decent track for me where I’ve had some good finishes. I’m excited to get back in the XFINITY Series in a Ford Mustang. With the history with Biagi DenBeste Racing and RPM, we should have some good speed. It’s really cool to be pair with Nickelodeon. We’ve formed a great relationship over the past three years, and we’re able to do these one off races to attract the youth to the sport. With such a cool looking car this weekend, I think we’ll do just that.” Also driving a TMNT themed car in the Xfinity race will be Matt Tiftt, who will have “Lone Rat and Cub” on his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota and Daniel Suárez will drive the No. 19 SEE TURTLE PAGE 12

COLUMN >> DAVE SAYS

Should you give a child a pre-paid debit card? Teach your children how to work, give, save and spend wisely DEAR DAVE, I’ve seen lots of companies marketing pre-paid debit cards for kids. They seem to position them as a way parents can set spending limits for their children. Do you think these are a good idea? It seems to me they are just a form of conditioning to get kids to rely on cards. KEITH DEAR KEITH, I agree with your assessment. I don’t recommend pre-paid debit cards for children, except in very unusual situations. Let’s say your kid was going on a trip, and you wanted him or her to have something in their pocket for limited access to cash. But if they’re old enough and responsible enough, I’d rather them have a traditional debit card attached to their own account. What I really want parents to do is teach their children how to work, give, save and spend wisely. It’s all about teaching your children to become good adults, and handling money is part of the equation. How does that apply to something like a pre-paid debit card for a kid? For the child, they’re looking at it like mom and dad are an ATM. They don’t equate it with real money unless they put their cash into the card. I suggest helping them open a checking account with a debit card attached around age 15 or 16, provided you have taught them – and they have demonstrated – wise money management practices up to that point. Teach them to reconcile and balance the account, and walk with them when they do this so they don’t slip into the idea a debit card is some magical portal to free money! —DAVE DEAR DAVE,

I’ll be getting married in a few months, and I just finished reading some of your books. You make a lot of sense, but now I’m wondering if I need to talk to my fiancée about postponing the wedding until I pay off all my debt. How do you feel about this? NICK

DEAR NICK,

First, congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I admire your desire to get out of debt and take control of your finances, but you’re talking about marrying the woman you love. You do not have to be debt-free to get married. If you guys are on the same page when it comes to money, and you’re both willing to work together on paying off any debt after you’re married, there’s no reason to postpone the wedding. You two shouldn’t be paying each

Little E closes in on final ride Dale Earnhardt Junior, 2005 winner at Chicagoland and fan favorite calls it quits Over the last few years, several of NASCAR’s biggest names BY MARK GREGORY Sports Reporter @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

walked away from the sport as Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart and Carl Edwards have all retired in the last two years. However, the news that came in late April that the undisputed face of the sport was retiring sent ripple through the NASCAR world. And now, Dale Earnhardt Jr. will begin his final 10 races as a full time driver with his last race at Chicagoland Speedway – one of the 15 tracks he won on during his career. Earnhardt, who will turn 43 in October, made his first career Cup Series start on May 30, 1999, at Charlotte Motor Speedway and will walk away after his 18th season. He has been voted by fans as NASCAR’s Most Popular Driver a record 14 consecutive years and has racked up 26 points-paying Cup wins, including the 2004 and 2014 Daytona 500. His 26 victories tie him for 29th on NASCAR’s alltime race winners list. He also has 13 pole positions and eight nonpoints wins (five in the Daytona 500 qualifying Duel, two in The Clash and one All-Star Race and has qualified for the NASCAR playoffs eight times. Earnhardt sat out most of the 2016 season after suffering a concussion and decided to leave the sport on his terms. “The decision was really simple.

Sunday will be Dale Earnhardt’s final race at Chicagoland Speedway.

I just decided that I wanted to go out on my own terms. I wanted to honor my commitment to (team owner) Rick (Hendrick), to my sponsors, to my team and to the fans,” Earnhardt said. “I will admit that having influence over my exit only seemed meaningful when it seemed most unlikely. I had to miss some races last year and during that time, I had to face the realization that my driving career might be over without me so much as getting a vote at the table. I know in life, we are not promised a vote and that is especially true in racing. “During my rehab, I was given something else I wasn’t accustomed to and that was time. Time to understand what was important to me, time to realize the incredible support system I have in my wife, my team and my doctors and the time to work like hell to wrestle back to have some say so in this matter – so that became my motivation – to be able to announce my choice rather than some fate that was decided for me.” So far this season, Earnhardt has remained healthy and has been

able to run every race, something he is glad he has been able to do. “This season has been a blessing to me. It has been a gift to be at the race track and to run every lap. I don’t ever remember myself being excited to be at the practice on Friday and Saturday,” he said. “Not 18 months ago, I was on Twitter complaining about 8:30 am practices and I can’t wait to get to them now. We used to complain about how long the season was, but this one can drag on.” For the driver simply known as Junior, pressure was part of his career since the day he broke in the sport, sharing a name, occupation and fan expectation of his legendary father, however, he said he never put the pressure on himself. “When my dad was doing so well and there were a couple of guys coming into the sport that were sons (of drivers), it was difficult for them to replicate their dad’s success and I just saw even at an early age that growing up in that shadow was going to be a real hard challenge,” Junior said. “I wanted to race, but I knew racing would put me in that shadow.

I knew the odds of me having any talent at all and being able to do it were thin – they are for anyone – so at an early age all I wanted to do was make a living out of driving cars. I didn’t set goals or I didn’t dream of winning championships or Daytona 500s or working for one of the best owners in the business. I just wanted to be able to do it. So, I accomplished way more than I ever thought I would have accomplished. So, I am good on that front.” Although Junior will retire from the No. 88 car for Hendrick Mortorsports, a seat that will be filled next year by Alex Bowman, he still has at least two Xfinity races he will race for JR Motorsports – a team he owns with Hendrick and his sister Kelly Earnhardt Miller – which began in 2005. Junior will look to his ownership as an ability to stay competitive. “My heart loves being in the car and I enjoy driving as much as I ever have. I do have an ambition to work. I don’t have to be the guy holding the trophy, but I enjoy being part of that,” he said. “I still want to be an influence and a part

of the success – however that is. I really enjoy making people happy and doing things as a team and I think I can replicate that in the next chapter in my life.” That next chapter will also include being in front of the camera, as Junior has signed a contract with NBC, who broadcasts the second half of the Monster Energy Cup Series. His role may not be limited to just NASCAR, however, as he has other interests – including being a huge Washington Redskins fan – that NCB executives said could play into him being a cross over personality. For now, Junior is focused on the sport he has competed in for nearly two decades. “It is a thrill for me to be able to partner with CBS. Growing up in the sport, and having admiration for a lot of the folks that are in media today and that have came and went through the sport and had a hand in promoting it,” he said. “I am very excited to take a step into that realm and learn what I can and try and help further the sport.”
