KANNAPOLIS, N.C., (July 13, 2011) – The American Revolution was a result of 13 colonies banding together to break free of the British Empire to become the United States of America. New England was a primary stage for many of the battles from 1775 to 1783 as patriots fought for their independence, with one of the initial salvos taking place near Portsmouth, N.H., in December 1774 when the “Sons of Liberty” raided Fort William and Mary and captured 15 cannons and more than five tons of gunpowder.

LOUDON, N.H. (July 12, 2011) – Why would anyone ever bet against NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Kyle Busch? Even the most ardent fans of other drivers have to admit Busch is looking like a serious contender for unseating Jimmie Johnson’s historic run of Championship seasons.
