Let's Do The News! (November 20, 2012)

Right, what's the news today you spoiler-laden TARDIS journal?

NASCAR-Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway

The Ford EcoBoost 400 held at Homestead-Miami Speedway, just a few blocks away from places karate-chopped by Sandy last month, served as the finale of this year's NASCAR Sprint Cup season. Even though Jeff Gordon won the race, the overall champion of this year's season goes to Brad Keselowski in his #2 Dodge Charger, which this car will be retired after this season. Seems that Keselowski did made a proper send-off to the Dodge Charger because this car's going to exit this race after the overall win. Beside's it's his first championship win though...

Macau Grand Prix

I've heard something that two racers lost their lives during the Macau Grand Prix. There was the Hong Kong racer named Phillip Yau who was killed in the race when his Chevrolet Cruze crashing at high speed and catching fire before rolling to a halt. Some say the tragedy comes after Portuguese motorbike racer Luis Carreira was killed in one of two serious accidents at the Chinese territory's street circuit on Thursday. Shocking! Two deaths in two days in Macau in the world of motorsport! Whether four-wheeled or two-wheeled, I sincerely considered their loss.

The Good Whovian

If you were a Whovian found something that turns out to be a classified document containing stuff for future Doctor Who episodes, what would you do? For a loyal Whovian I've heard, what she did is returned the classified documents, which turned out to be scripts for some Doctor Who episode, to the Doctor Who staff. Well, she isn't a Whovian I'm afraid but she's a student from Cardiff, Wales, who returned the top secret DW script to the staff. A good samaritan indeed.
