The Brickyard 400, attracting more than 250,000, is worth annually. The Grand Prix drew about 125,000 last year and is worth an estimated but the estimated 2002 crowd was well less than the 200,000 who saw the race in 2000 when it returned to the United States for the first time since 1991.

Player of the Week: Jen King, MH, Largo I' i Ih 1 1 -v I Largo coach Patti Beck fig-ft it LARGO There is a little hesitation in Kyle Blitch's step when he walks out onto the. springboard. Almost crouching, he wobbles at the DIVING end of the board with his back to the water. At first it might look as though Blitch, the rookie with a timid grin, doesn't know what he's doing up there. Then he straightens his back, extends his arms, jumps up and unfurls a two and a half twist a back summersault with two and a half turns.

It's one of the most difficult dives in high school competition worth 2.7 points. Blitch's dive isn't perfect, but give him a break. He has only been at it for four weeks. "I don't even know how I caught on so easily," Blitch said. Blitch, a junior at Osceola, has been tumbling ever since he can remember, but he has never been a diver.

He was encouraged by friends to go out for the diving team. A serious gymnast since his first back-handspring at age 4, Blitch showed up the first day of practice at Southwest Complex and was doing twists off the board in less than 10 minutes. "He's very impressive, very talented," West Florida Lightning Aquatics diving coach Tony Per-riello said. "It's raw talent He's very eager, very willing and able to learn whatever it is he has to learn to be successful." And all that wobbling is just for laughs. Blitch can make even the most intense diver crack a smile during practice.

Blitch is coached by Perriello and Osceola swim coach Ernie Whalen. He also trains with two of the top junior divers in the country Osceola's Alex Tilbrook and Admiral Farragut's Austin Hampton. "Alex and Austin, they're the two he has to compete against at the state level," Perriello said. "He looks at them and says, 'Okay, I have to do everything they He's trying to put it together." Much like Tilbrook, Blitch is learning to translate his floor exercise tumbling skills, where he's used to landing on his feet, to the diving board. He has to learn to jump up, not out and to take his time and move slower.

Tornadoes rally Clearwater went 3-2 at the sciousness than when Andretti won in Monza, Italy, to capture the 1978 title. "You have to remember that this country has so many choices when it comes to racing, let alone so many other sports," Andretti said. "In motorsports (the United States) has its own national series with two open-wheel series and NASCAR and others on the local and regional level.

"That's why there has been minimal participation from a driver standpoint, because all the choices are right here." Red Bull, which sponsors Eddie Cheever's Indy Racing League team, has backed a program the past few years to identify and promote the next young American Fl hopeful. Finding that driver is key in raising Formula One's profile in the United States, Cheever said. Because many of the best candidates are in their upper teens, the process will take time. "It would be like me going to Iraq and starting a Softball league trying to find the best pitcher in the World Series in three years," said Cheever, whose 132 Fl starts is the most by an American. "It's not going to happen.

Now, there may be a kid who can throw a fastball very hard, and he just doesn't know it yet" If American fans are going to embrace Fl, they don't know it yet either. tween $7-million and $12-million by the Indianapolis Star, and are responsible for travel costs incurred by the 10 European teams. NASCAR Winston Cup events command just a $5-million fee, the Indy Racing League and those circuits pay their travel costs. Bernie Ecclestone, who owns the rights to market Formula One, typically has signed five-year deals with tracks. The race this weekend would be the fourth at IMS.

George would not comment on the length of the contract Races have faltered in Phoenix because of heat and lack of interest in Detroit because its course was too tight, and at Watkins Glen because the layout was made unsafe by increasingly powerful cars. The first U.S. Grand Prix was at Sebring International Raceway in 1959, but its bumpy surface was too hard on the finicky vehicles. Revered IMS, with its new course, massive seating capacity and name recognition, therefore, is the logical stage for Formula One in the United States. "It's good for us because there are very few places where you go in America where the cities are instantly recognizable to the people of the world," Ecclestone told the Star.

"If you say Indianapolis anywhere, people think motor racing. That's why I went there." Now the task is to keep it. years ago, Blitch took his tumbling skills to cheerleading and competes nationally at the individual and team levels. He has won several individual cheerleading competitions and recently joined the Miami-based Top Gun All-Stars cheer team. He travels to Miami twice a month to practice with the team.

On the side, he competes in power tumbling, teaches a tumbling class, choreographs for local cheering squads, remixes music for competitive routines and models. With more practice, Blitch should only get better. Whalen has already started taping his dives, getting a portfolio ready to submit Blitch as an All-America candidate. "He's got the dives, now all he's got to do is perfect them," Whalen said. ease take some divers more than a year to learn.

While he has caught on to some of the more difficult techniques, he still struggles with some simple dives, Perriello said. It's a matter of control and finesse, traits the coach said Blitch can learn from watching Tilbrook and Hampton. He improves every day. Last week at the Pinellas County Athletic Conference championships, he finished third, and by season's end he could be part of a Pinellas County trio (with Tilbrook and Hampton) that sweeps the Class A state meet Perriello said Blitch has the potential to be a good college diver, but doesn't know if he will make the commitment to train year-round.

NASCAR's policy of medically clearing a driver was put in place partially because of Earnhardt, who admitted last season he thought he had lingering effects of a concussion in several races. Since then, NASCAR has required all drivers to receive written clearance from a doctor approved by the sanctioning body before the individual can compete. TEAMWORK: Multicar organizations with research and development teams have an advantage with additional tests and teammates especially at restrictor-plate tracks. This weekend, Hendrick Motorsports will run David Green again in his No. 60 Chevrolet.

John Andretti will drive No. 75 for Richard Childress Racing. Buckshot Jones will guide Michael Waltrip's No. 00 Chevrolet, with the car and engine supplied by Dale Earnhardt Inc. And Jason Jarrett, 27, will make his debut in the No.

COMMITTED TO PETTY: Daimler-Chrysler officials denied reports that Petty Enterprises was losing its top-tier status with Dodge. Though there have been concerns regarding the performance of the No. 43 and 45 cars this season, Dodge is committed to honoring the remaining years on Petty's contract. CHARLOTTE, N.C. Dale Earnhardt Jr.

was cleared by NASCAR on Wednesday to race this weekend at Talladega Super-speedway, where he's seeking a record fifth consecutive victory. Earnhardt sustained a minor concussion and sprained his right foot in a wreck Sunday in Dover, Del. NASCAR required him to undergo a thorough physical before he could be cleared to race. Earnhardt was examined Monday by neurosurgeon Dr. Jerry Petty, and NASCAR reviewed the report Wednesday.

"My foot gets a lot better every day," Earnhardt said. "I've stayed off my feet, kept ice on it, and the swelling and soreness is much less than it was on Monday. "It would take a heck of a lot more than this to keep me out of the race." Working in Earnhardt's favor is his mastery of the 2.66-mile superspeedway, where he has won the past four Winston Cup events and the Busch Series race in April. 'Talladega is about intense mental focus," he said. "It's not a physical track like Bristol or Martinsville where your body takes a beating.

"I'm sure once I get in the car, this won't have an impact on me. I've been to the shop a few times, and the guys are making sure I'm comfortable in the car, so we will be ready to go." Earnhardt was injured late in Sunday's event, crashing hard into the wall. He was briefly knocked out and taken to a local hospital for evaluation. Earnhardt finished 37th and dropped from second to fourth in hawks to finisri in the top five, joining Lauren Vogel (third) and Madeline Parhalo (fifth) The Warhawk girls defeated GIRLS Largo 114, Boca Ciega 71 200 medley relay Largo IBrainard, Tom-tin.
