Early work
<mask>' radio career began in Seminole, Texas at a country music station. Her next job was in a larger market, Mobile, Alabama. While in Mobile, she was paired briefly with a male DJ (also named Randy) for the "Randy and Randi" morning show. This was her first experience with extemporaneous dialogue other than reading cue cards between records. She used this experience as a spring-board to larger markets. In the late 1980s, she was hired out of that medium market directly to New York City by WAPP "The Apple", owned at the time by Doubleday Broadcasting.While working for WAPP, she took the name "<mask> <mask>," having previously used "Randi St. John". While teaming with host Perry Stone at Milwaukee's WQFM, <mask> was suspended in 1987 when their program offended the gay community and led several businesses to cancel ads. In late September 1992, <mask> started on WIOD in Miami, working the 8P-11P night shift. The Miami Herald described her as "a chain-smoking bottle blond, ... part Joan Rivers, part shock jock Howard Stern and part Saturday Night Live'''s 'Coffee Talk' lady. But mostly, she's her rude, crude, loud, brazen, gleeful self." Air America Radio (2004–2008)

In 2004, <mask> joined Air America Radio, bringing The <mask> <mask> Show to a national audience for the first time. <mask>' show on Air America consisted principally of monologue and listener calls, with a short comedic segment at the beginning of the show's second and third

 hours.Only occasionally did she do interviews. The show was punctuated with musical interludes, including the show's unofficial theme song, Pain by Stereomud. On Fridays, <mask> opened the show with the song "Bounce Your Boobies" by Rusty Warren. With her distinctive Brooklyn-Queens accent, she would take calls spanning the political spectrum, aggressively promoting her views. In 2007, <mask> was recognized by the radio industry's well known periodical, Talkers Magazine as Woman of the Year. Reports of mugging
In October 2007, rumors of <mask> having been mugged in New York were fueled by Air America host Jon Elliott, who had said she was attacked at 39th and Park Avenue while walking her dog, Simon on October 14. Elliott also said <mask> lost several teeth, and speculated the attack could have been part of a right-wing conspiracy.On October 17, the New York Daily News reported <mask> never filed a police report, nor did she claim to be the victim of a mugging. <mask>' attorney confirmed <mask> was injured in a fall while walking her dog, and said <mask> wasn't sure how it had happened. Elliott issued an apology for his on-air comments. Departure from Air America
Air America suspended <mask> from the network on April 3, 2008, after an event in San Francisco for Air America affiliate KKGN. While doing a stand-up comedy act, <mask> said on March 22, 2008:"Geraldine Ferraro turned out to be the David Duke in drag ... What a whore Geraldine Ferraro is! She's such a fucking whore! I wanna see her have to stand beside her husband at one of those mandatory 'I have sinned against you; I'm a whore' kind of a press conference.Mr. Ferraro should have to stand next to his

texts: whore of a wife ... Hillary is a big fucking whore, too. You know why she's a big fucking whore? Because her deal is always, 'Read the fine print, asshole!'" When a video of the event was made public the following week, Air America suspended her for "inappropriate comments". The event was billed as "An Evening with <mask> <mask>" and promoted on KKGN's website. Geraldine Ferraro called for <mask>' employment to be terminated when the personal attacks directed towards her and Clinton began circulating through the media. <mask> claimed that Air America breached its contract with her, and questioned the network's commitment to free speech.On April 10, 2008, <mask> went on Larry King Live to clarify her suspension from the network. Later that evening, she conducted an interview on The Mike Malloy Show in which <mask> went into greater detail concerning the suspension. Air America had recently been sold. The new owner read her existing contract and wanted to amend two details: <mask>' right to terminate at any time, and a clause that said Air America could not terminate <mask> for any reason without paying her. <mask> refused to amend the contract, which she said took "seven months to negotiate with the previous owners." Air America suspended her until a settlement could be reached concerning the contract which was still in place and had an additional year to run. In the interim, Air America management decided to conduct market research to assess her value to the company.According to <mask>, it was Air America which released the press release that called attention to the video of her performance in San Francisco simply as a way to gauge her audience loyalty and her

 value to the network. She also claimed Air America soon asked her to return to the air, with an offer of more money but still holding to the condition that she had to change her contract "in order to get her mic back". <mask> refused and left Air America because of the stalemate over the new contract. Mark Green, President of Air America Radio, said, "Her abusive, obscene comments obviously crossed the line of what talent at a media company could say," and added that the comments "were in the Imus league", referring to radio host Don Imus, who was fired by CBS Radio in 2007 after making racial remarks about female basketball players. According to a published account, Green said the company had asked <mask> to apologize for the remarks. In the same account, <mask> said she did not refuse to apologize for the comment. Air America Media informed <mask> on April 9 that the contract was terminated.Air America president Mark Green issued a statement wishing <mask> well, and thanking her for her work with Air America. Meanwhile, KKGN announced on its website that The <mask> <mask> <mask> Show web site, redirecting it to a statement by the chairman and president on the Air America site. <mask> stated at 3:42pm, EDT on April 14 that she, not Air America, owns the URL name.

On her program's inaugural Nova M Radio broadcast she also said that she had objected to Air America's new owners demanding her contract be amended to remove her walk-away clause. She said her salary was also an issue. <mask>' last show on Nova M was February 3, 2009. Political commentator and one-time Congressional candidate Nancy Skinner hosted the show in <mask>' absence beginning February 5.Following this, Anita Drobny of Nova M Radio posted a message on the Nova M site saying that they were unable to disclose details of what was going on due to <mask>' having complete control of the show and that <mask> "now has to make her decisions as to what she must do with her career". Drobny also said, "People are saying it's about money. It's not about money at all. I just could not fulfill one of her requirements." She did, however, note the financial impact of <mask>' departure: "I looked at [our] site, and I see that because <mask> <mask> isn't on, there are so many people leaving the Founders Club [which involved a fee that was paid to Nova M]. And you can't operate without people's participation. "Additionally, <mask>' own website was taken down and replaced with a letter from <mask> to her supporters stating that the entire situation was within Nova M's control and any implication that <mask> was responsible for the disruption was false, and that <mask>' show would be "seeking a new home" in light of those

texts: in collaboration with Korean singer Kim Wan-Sun. The Hong Kong press frequently reported a fierce rivalry between <mask> and fellow singer Leslie Cheung. Although both artists were at peace with each other, it was the fans who created the spectacle of a musical feud.

Harold Foss "<mask>" <mask> (born August 13, 1955) is an American art critic and historian. He was educated at Princeton University, Columbia University, and the City University of New York. He taught at Cornell University from 1991 to 1997 and has been on the faculty at Princeton since 1997. In 1998 he received a Guggenheim Fellowship. <mask>'s criticism focuses on the role of the avant-garde within postmodernism. In 1983, he edited The Anti-Aesthetic: Essays on Postmodern Culture, a seminal text in postmodernism. In Recodings (1985), he promoted a vision of postmodernism that simultaneously engaged its avant-garde history and commented on contemporary society.In The Return of the Real (1996), he proposed a model of historical recurrence of the avant-garde in which each cycle would improve upon the inevitable failures of previous cycles. He views his roles as critic and historian of art as complementary rather than mutually opposed. Early life and education
<mask> was born Aug. 13, 1955, in Seattle, Washington. His father was a partner in the law firm of Foster, Pepper & Shefelman. He attended Lakeside School in Seattle, where Microsoft founder Bill Gates was a classmate. He graduated with an A.B. in English from Princeton University in 1977 after completing a 106-page long senior thesis titled "Ted Hughes and Geoffrey Hill: Two Poets in a Tradition."He received a Master of Arts in English from Columbia University in 1979. He received his Ph.D. in art history from the City University of New York in 1990, writing his dissertation on Surrealism under Rosalind Krauss. Career
After graduating from Princeton, <mask> moved to New York City, where he worked for Artforum from 1977 to 1981. He was then an editor at Art in America until 1987, when he became Director of Critical and Curatorial Studies at the Whitney Museum. In 1982, a friend from Lakeside School founded Bay Press to publish The Mink's Cry, a children's book written by

 <mask>. In the following year Bay Press published The Anti-Aesthetic: Essays on Postmodern Culture, a collection of essays on postmodernism edited by <mask> that became a seminal text of postmodernism. In 1985, Bay Press published Recodings, <mask>'s first collection of essays.The Anti-Aesthetic and Recordings were, respectively, Bay Press's best and second best selling titles. <mask> founded Zone in 1985 and was its editor until 1992. In 1991, <mask> left the Whitney to join the faculty of Cornell University's Department of the History of Art. That same year, <mask> became an editor of the journal October; he was still on the board as of 2011. In 1997 he joined the faculty of his undergraduate alma mater, Princeton University, in the Department of Art and Archaeology. In 2000 he became the <mask> Professor of Art and Archaeology at Princeton. He chaired the Department of Art and Archaeology from 2005 to 2009.In September 2011 he was appointed to the search committee to find a new dean for Princeton's School of Architecture. He is a faculty fellow of Wilson College. <mask> received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1998. In 2010 he was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and awarded the Clark Prize for Excellence in Arts Writing by the Clark Art Institute. Spring 2011 he won a Berlin Prize fellowship of the American Academy in Berlin. In 2013-14 he was appointed practitioner in residence at Camberwell College of Arts in London. Criticism
In his introduction to The Anti-Aesthetic (1983), <mask> described a distinction between complicity with and resistance to capitalism within postmodernism.The book included contributions by Jean Baudrillard, Douglas Crimp, Kenneth Frampton, Jürgen Habermas, Fredric Jameson, Rosalind Krauss, Craig Owens, Edward Saïd, and Gregory Ulmer. In Recodings 1985, <mask> focused on the role of the avant-garde within postmodernism. He advocated a postmodernism that engages in both a

texts: continuation of its historical roots in the avant-garde and contemporary social and political critique, in opposition to what he saw as a "pluralistic" impulse to abandon the avant-garde in favor of more aesthetically traditional and commercially viable modes. He promoted artists he saw as exemplifying this vision, among them Dara Birnbaum, Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger, Louise Lawler, Sherrie Levine, Allan McCollum, <mask>, and Krzysztof Wodiczko. <mask> favored expansion of the scope of postmodernist art from galleries and museums to a broader class of public locations and from painting and sculpture to other media. He saw postmodernism's acknowledgment of differences in viewers' backgrounds and lack of deference to expertise as important contributions to the avant-garde. By the mid-1990s, <mask> had come to believe that the dialectic within the avant-garde between historical engagement and contemporary critique had broken down.In his view, the latter came to be preferred over the former as interest was elevated over quality. In The Return of the Real (1996), taking as his model Karl Marx's reaction against G. W. F. Hegel, he sought to rebut Peter Bürger's assertion – which he made in Theory of the Avant-Garde (1974) – that the neo-avant-garde largely represented a repetition of the projects and achievements of the historical avant-garde, and therefore it was a failure. <mask>'s model was based on a notion of "deferred action" inspired by the work of Sigmund Freud. He conceded the failure of the initial avant-garde wave (which included such figures as Marcel Duchamp) but argued that future waves could redeem earlier ones by incorporating through historical reference those aspects that had not been comprehended the first time around. Gordon Hughes compares this theory with Jean-François Lyotard's. <mask> has been critical of the field of visual culture, accusing it of "looseness". In a 1999 article in Social Text, Crimp

 rebutted <mask>, criticizing his notion of the avant-garde and his treatment in The Return of the Real of sexual identity in Andy Warhol's work.Furthermore, this criticality spreads to both the practice and the field of design in his book Design and Crime (2002). <mask> views his roles as art critic and art historian as complementary rather than mutually opposed, in accordance with his adherence to postmodernism. In an interview published in the Journal of Visual Culture, he said, "I've never seen critical work in opposition to historical work: like many others I try to hold the two in tandem, in tension. History without critique is inert; criticism without history is aimless". Bibliography

Early years
<mask> was born in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania in 1909.His father, Herbert N<mask>, was the co-owner of the Munger & Long department store in Camden, New Jersey. <mask> received his early education at the Friends School in Camden. He received his preparatory education at The Hill School in Pottstown, Pennsylvania and the Episcopal Academy in the Overbrook section of Philadelphia. He was the captain of the football team at Episcopal Academy in 1928 and 1929. He led Episcopal to two undefeated seasons in football and once scored eight touchdowns in a game. He also helped lead Episcopal to two basketball championships and a baseball championship. He also set school records in the pole vault, high jump, discus and javelin.Athlete at Penn
He later attended the University of Pennsylvania where he played at the halfback for the Penn Quakers football team from 1930 to 1932. He also competed for Penn in track and field and won the decathlon at the 1932 Penn Relays. With the Penn Relays being comparable to the Olympic Trials, Munger should have been a lock for the 1932 Olympics. But citing a lack of depth in the 1932 Relays field, another Olympics Trials were held in Chicago. Munger failed to clear a starting 12-foot height in the pole vault, finished ninth, and was named an alternate to the squad. Teacher and coach at Episcopal Academy

The 1947 team shut out both Navy and Cornell by identical scores of 21–0, and its only setback was a 7–7 tie with Army. Munger coached 16 All-American football players at Penn, and three of his players, Robert H. Odell (1943), Chuck Bednarik (1948) and Reds Bagnell (1950), won the Maxwell Award as the best college football player in the United States.

Munger was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1976. <mask>'s biography at the Hall of Fame describes him as "a superb, relaxed athlete, an innovative coach, and a meticulous administrator." The University of Pennsylvania also named its football training complex, the <mask> Training Complex, after him, and the <mask> Award is given each year to the most valuable player on the Penn football team. In 1989, the Maxwell Football Club began awarding the <mask> Award to the college football coach of the year.In its description of the award, the Maxwell Club says of <mask>, "His devotion to ethics in athletics, and his commitment to education is the standard for which all college coaches should strive." Recipients of the award include Bo Schembechler, Joe Paterno, Lloyd Carr, Bob Stoops, Pete Carroll, and Urban Meyer. In March 2010, the club announced that the award would be renamed the Joseph V. Paterno Award. After Joe Paterno's involvement in a child sex abuse scandal, the Maxwell Club returned the award to its former name. It continues to be awarded to a promising college football coach every year. <mask> died from heart failure in July 1994 at age 84. He was survived by his wife Viola, daughter Carol Ober and four grandchildren.At the time of <mask>'s death, Chuck Bednarik told The Philadelphia Inquirer, "[Munger] taught me a secret – the secret of how to approach life. He was a jovial man who would always laugh and act young. When I saw him a few years ago, it was like he had never changed, like he was in his '40s." Head coaching record

Television

In addition to stage and occasional film work, Blyden also appeared in guest spots for television shows. In the 1950s, he made guest performances on several dramatic anthology shows including Playhouse 90, Omnibus, The Loretta Young Show and The United States Steel Hour. In May 1955, CBS announced that Blyden was set to star opposite Nita Talbot in the sitcom Joe and Mabel. The series, which was based on the radio series of the same name that had aired on the NBC Red Network from February 1941 to September 1942, was scheduled to premiere on September 20, 1955. Production began that summer but was hampered by the Screen Actors Guild strike that began on August 5, 1955.


texts: Although the strike lasted just ten days, production on the series ceased.Production eventually resumed but the series was plagued with various issues and, upon being previewed for critics, was poorly received. CBS eventually decided to burn off the series' thirteen completed episodes during the summer of 1956 after which it was canceled. After the cancellation of Joe and Mabel, Blyden returned to stage work (replacing Ray Walston in the Philadelphia and Broadway runs of Who Was That Lady I Saw You With? and Flower Drum Song). He returned to television in 1959 as "Sammy Glick" in the television adaptation of Budd Schulberg's 1941 novel What Makes Sammy Run? The two-part special aired on the NBC Sunday Showcase on September 27 and October 4, 1959, and also starred John Forsythe, Dina Merrill and Barbara Rush. In the early 1960s, Blyden returned to television with guest starring roles in two episodes of The Twilight Zone: "A Nice Place to Visit" in April 1960 and "Showdown with Rance McGrew" in February 1962 in which he starred as the title character.In 1963, Blyden was cast to star in a second sitcom, NBC's Harry's Girls. Produced by MGM Television, the series was an adaptation of the Robert E. Sherwood play Idiot's Delight, with Blyden starring as Harry, a vaudeville style performer constantly getting into trouble and falling in love. The series received a great deal of publicity before it aired because it was being filmed on location in Europe (interiors were filmed at the Victorine Studios in France while exteriors were shot on location in Rome, Paris and other European locations).

 Upon its debut, Harry's Girls was also not well received and was canceled after one season. For the remainder of the decade, Blyden continued with guest roles on television including spots on Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Defenders,  The Fugitive, and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. In the late 1960s, Blyden began working as a game show host and master of ceremonies starting with Personality in June 1967. In 1969, he hosted You're Putting Me On and The Movie Game.In 1972, Blyden took over hosting duties for the syndicated revival of the game show What's My Line? Blyden remained the show's host until it was canceled in 1975. Blyden also made a week of appearances on the CBS game show Match Game '74. In the weeks before his death, Blyden was involved in several major projects. He co-hosted the 29th Tony Awards telecast that aired on ABC on April 20, 1975. On May 2, Blyden reprised his role as Ensign Pulver opposite Henry Fonda at a gala tribute to director Joshua Logan at Broadway's Imperial Theatre (which was recorded and eventually released on a privately distributed LP album).

<mask> (1891–1942) was an Austrian economist. He was considered by his colleagues one of the most brilliant Austrian economists of the interwar period. As a professor at the University of Vienna he had a decisive influence on F. A. Hayek, Fritz Machlup, <mask>, Oskar Morgenstern and other fourth-generation Austrian economists. Early life
He was born on former Moravia (which is today a part of the Czech Republic). He studied at the University of Vienna and was admitted as a very young man to the famous private seminar of <mask>k, which had produced a whole generation of promising economists, such as Otto Bauer, Nicolai Bukharin, <mask>, Otto Neurath, and Joseph Schumpeter. After World War I, Strigl continued his research and wrote an important book on economic theory for which, in 1923, he received his Habilitation – the traditional professors' diploma of the universities of Central Europe. Five years later he acceded to the rank of titular extraordinary professor.However, like Mises, Machlup, Haberler, and other Viennese economists of the time, he had to earn his living outside of academia eventually becoming a high official at the Austrian Unemployment Insurance Board. Strigl was described as a modest, humane, cultured, and very bright man who impressed both his students and impartial colleagues. As one of his pupils, Josef Steindl stated after his death, "There were few of his pupils or of the foreign economists who would visit Vienna and sojourn in his circle of those days who did not very much like him." He had extraordinary gifts for systematic exposition and step-by-step argument, which made for great success in the classroom. Due to these personal and intellectual talents, Strigl had a

texts: considerable influence on the generation of young economists graduating from the University of Vienna after World War I. More than any other teacher he shaped the minds of Friedrich Hayek, Gottfried Haberler, Fritz Machlup, Oskar Morgenstern and influenced other future great Viennese economists. Strigl convinced his students that economic theory could be studied in its own right, that is, without engaging in previous empirical field studies.And this theory could be used to both explain economic phenomena and to direct political action. Despite the rise of the Austrian economics in the 1920s and 1930s, the dominating intellectual force in the economics departments of Germany and Austria was the so-called Historical School. The representatives of this school of thought despised economic theory for its advocacy of universally valid economic laws. They argued that laws could only be as universal as the conditions to which they referred. Since history was a process of constant transformation of the conditions of human existence, there could be no such thing as general economic law. At best, there could only be "laws" describing the economy of a more or less unique period and, at any rate, all insights about this economy had to be derived from studies of concrete households, firms, administrations, towns, etc. Moreover, Strigl's department at the University of Vienna was a stronghold of antirationalist "organic" economics.This contrasted sharply with the approach of the Austrian economists who sought to explain economic phenomena as resulting from individual action and from the social interaction of individuals (the principle of methodological individualist). Single-handedly, Strigl made an effective case


texts:
 for economic theory and methodological individualism in this intellectually hostile environment. Strigl was primarily interested in the scientific foundation of policy proposals, an interest he shared with <mask> Mises. This concern for practical questions incited him to take particular care of methodological problems, and he was very effective in integrating methodological studies into his research. All in all, Bohm-Bawerk had the most lasting impact on Strigl, but the ideas of Walras, Wieser, Schumpeter, and Mises also found their way into his writings. Work
Strigl was the author of pioneering studies on economic theory, applied economics, capital theory, and the relationship between theoretical and historical research. His work Capital and Production was as a key contribution to technical economic theory.It was first published in 1934 by the former Austrian Institute for Business Cycle Research in its series "Contributions to Business Cycle Research." In his book Capital and production, he links Eugen <mask>öhm-Bawerk production theory and <mask> Mises business cycle theory, and gives a pathbreaking account of the role of consumer goods within the structure of production. Strigl seeks to come to grips with the causes and possible cures for the Great Depression that Plagued the Western world in the aftermath of 1929. Although many other Austrian economists of the time were engaged in similar projects, Strigl's work stands out for its analysis of time-consuming roundabout production processes and their relevance for the Great Depression. Strigl combined William Stanley Jevons and Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk theory of capital into genuinely Austrian theory of the economy as a whole; and he carefully

 analyzed the impact of credit expansion on the workings of this macroeconomy. His treatment of these issues in even more systematic, rigorous, and clear than the well-known works by Hayek which covered the same ground. In fact, Hayek hailed Strigl's work "for the simplicity and clarity of exposition of a notoriously difficult subject."Later years
Strigl's works later fell into obscurity. Mises left for Switzerland where he found a prestigious position that would allow him to write his magnum opus. Hayek, Machlup, and Haberler departed for the United Kingdom or the United States, where they could obtain academic positions foreclosed to them back home. And after the 1939 Anschluß, many others left because Nazi Austria made life unbearable for Jews like Morgenstern and for all non-Jews who could not find or accept any modus vivendi with the National Socialist German Workers Party. Although Strigl had remained as the last member of this group at the original home of the School, for him too, life and work had become unbearable. His health was gravely affected and he was disgusted by the opportunistic behavior of many of his countrymen. Josef Steindl wrote at the time: "Since the invasion of Austria he has been silent; we have not heard of any further publication of his.This is not surprising to those who knew him, and it is probably not only due to an illness which befell him in 1930. The spectacle of the conversion overnight of so many to a new creed was not congenial to him who had so conspicuously lacked the talents of a careerist in all his professional life." Works

He drove the No. 01 Coors Light Chevrolet for SABCO Racing the following week to a 31st-place finish. <mask> returned to Carroll had a pair of 5th at Darlington and Rockingham in 2001. He also added three other top-10s, and won another pole at Fontana in addition to starting in the top-10 for half the races. After finishing 17th in points, he left the team. He made his Truck Series debut that year at The Milwaukee Mile in the No.4 Dana Dodge Ram for BHR, but exited early due to a transmission failure. He also ran three races in the No. 33 Oakwood Homes Chevy for Andy Petree Racing as a teammate to his father, filling in for the injured Joe Nemechek.

 Rensi in 2004, but did not win a race. He competed in six Nextel Cup events for Phoenix Racing in the No.09 Miccosukee Indian Gambling-sponsored Dodge, and had a best finish of seventeenth. He also drove three times in the Truck Series, winning a pole in his father's No. 04 truck, as well as running twice for HT Motorsports. After 23 Busch races, he left Rensi to move up to the Nextel level, driving the No. 32 Tide-sponsored Chevrolet for PPI Motorsports. He was given the full-time ride for 2005, but struggled immensely, failing to qualify three times and not finishing any higher than 11th. After driving two events in equipment leased from Front Row Motorsports, <mask> was let go from PPI at the end of the season.Without a full-time ride, <mask> moved to the Truck Series, leasing equipment from the No. 08 team owned by Green Light Racing, and running with Corky's Ribs and BBQ sponsorship. After three races, it was announced that his father had been diagnosed with head and neck cancer, and <mask> was deemed his replacement in the No. 18 Fastenal-sponsored Dodge. He won the pole in his first race in the truck, but only mustered a 16th-place finish in points, as well as dealing with conflicts within the family-run organization. His attempt to run the 2006 Allstate 400 at the Brickyard at the Cup level also failed. Following his father's death on January 7, 2007, <mask> was expected to take over ownership of the team; however, he was not part of the management named by the team's backers the following month.The team eventually closed down in 2008. 2007–present

 the final standings. After his #35 team folded in 2008, he moved back to the #25 car with Smithfield Foods sponsoring for thirty races. Despite missing two road course events, <mask> had two top-tens and finished fifteenth in points. The team was ready to close near the end of the season when Smithfield's sponsorship ended, but <mask> funded the team out of his own pocket for the final few races of the season to keep the team going. He also purchased a small portion of the Sadler Brothers team for whom he had begun his career, allowing them to run a limited schedule in the Nationwide and ARCA RE/MAX Series.Before the 2009 season, <mask> purchased a small portion of Rensi Motorsports and merged his own operation with the team, forming the new Rensi-Hamilton Racing operation. The #25 team lacked the sponsorship to run <mask>, and he subsequently drove Randy MacDonald's #81 Dodge for a limited schedule. <mask> returned to the Truck Series in 2010 for Rick Ware and also ran at Nashville Superspeedway in 2011 with Ware in their #1 truck. After two years away from major-league racing, <mask> returned to the track in 2014, signing with Carter 2 Motorsports to drive the team's No. 40 Dodge full-time in the ARCA Racing Series; however before his first race with the team, he was released.
