and employees of Dan River
Incorporated have been able to buy
products directly from the company.

That will end on July 31 when
the Dan River Factory Store closes.

The company says sales have
been declining over the last year and a

The Southside textile maker
was sold to an Indian company in 2005.
Many of its operations have moved

pregame fireworks and a pre-event
concert from the counting Crows. The
homers were plentiful - even though
Barry Bonds, A-Rod, and Big Pappi among
many others did not participate.

One guy who was called in at the
last minute - put on a show. Former
Salem Avalanche star Matt Holliday was
nameda replacement this morning at 8.

The Colorado Rockies star - has
15 homers in the first half of the
season and in the first round tonight
he would jack five to advance to the

next round.

In fact in the second round he
put on an even more impressive show as
he ripped eight homers out of the park.

But his 13 homers came up short
as the Angels Vladimir Guerrero won the
derby.

Pepsi - the drink company that
basically help found the sport is being
replaced by Coke at 10 tracks including
Daytona.

Starting next year Coke will
replace Pepsi at all of the

International Speedway Corporation
owned tracks.

Most will change immediately to
the Coca-Cola brand, but that won't be
the case at Martinsville.

Pepsi is under contract with the
Martinsville Speedway at least through
2009.

In fact, Martinsville has been a
Pepsi track for 59 of its 60 years of
existence.

You can look for Pepsi to
re-focus its cash and sponsor one or
two drivers next season.
