Ivey's Fighting Irish Lose in ACC Tournament

The Irish lose to the lower seeded Hurricanes...

Brey's Irish Win On Senior NIght...

Notre Dame Fan / NASCAR Legend: The Onion

Todd Bodine (AKA "The Onion"), who has won 22 NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES races and two (2) Truck Series Championships -- was back at it as he begins his quest to achieve 800 NASCAR starts.

Todd and his wife Janet are wonderful people and huge Notre Dame fans!

Unfortunately, Todd's Toyota lost control and he hit a wall on lap 89 of last night's 200 lap race in Las Vegas. He was able to return to the race and ended up finishing 21st in his first start in five years in the Camping World Truck Series.

We may need to get a ND Monogram on Todd's helmet for his next race!
