((Through the first five races of the season Compton has been a model of consistency. In fact, he has yet to finish out of the top five. His second place finish at Martinsville in the NAPA 250 on April 17th catapulted him past defending series champ Ron Hornaday to the top of the points chase.
((STACY COMPTON/CRAFTSMAN TRUCKS POINT LEADER:))
Besides Stacy's maturity as a driver three other factors have led to his success this season. First, he now has a teammate in Randy Tolsma.
((RANDY TOLSMA/COMPTON'S TEAMMATE:))
Compton also has switched from Ford to Dodge this year,
And now his motors are being built by one of the greatest names in NASCAR's Chrysler history - Arrington. Buddy's son Joey, who is now 40, is responsible for putting the power in the RC Dodge.))

Doggie Day Care was developed by a woman in Wisconsin and so far it is a big hit with owners and their dogs.
Pet parents drop of their canine kids before work and they play all day. For these dogs a day- is a day at the beach.
The daycare is complete with the K-9 Beach Club where playful pups can catch some rays, frolic with friends and lay in the sand.
