SANDUSKY, Ohio (AP) — One of the top teams in NASCAR’s Truck Series says an overnight fire has damaged its race shop in Ohio. ThorSport Racing says nobody was injured in the fire that broke out early Monday in Sandusky, but the damage appeared to be significant. The team says in a statement that it still intends to race this Saturday at Iowa Speedway.

ThorSport says the fire started in the basement of its shop. Flames could be seen shooting through the roof. Fire officials were still assessing the damage Monday morning. Among its drivers is two-time series champion and current points leader Matt Crafton. Crafton has two series victories this season and finished second on Friday in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Texas.

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz says college football has changed since he first joined the Iowa staff prior to the 1981 season and summer is a prime example. Iowa’s veteran players have been back for more than a week and first year players are scheduled to arrive today (Monday).

Ferentz said “The off-season and recruiting are our two biggest areas, but we had a handful of guys…more than a handful, back in the ’80’s. A lot of the guys in the two deep would stay here and train, but it’s just a whole different thing, and now you can mandate it if you choose to, so it’s just a whole different world.”

It means the players got about three weeks off from the end of semester exams. Ferentz says he likes the fact that they can watch their guys go in and train now, and “We’re feeding them now, so the guys are eating good food year ’round. The breaks…Thanksgiving break used to be a really good time for guys to have a chance to go home and recharge. That’s not coming back, that won’t change ever again in the future, so the calendar just gets squeezed. We’re really fortunate, I think, in that we’ve got a nice break after the bowl game, where the guys have a couple of weeks to get back home and do some things on their own.”

Ferentz says these days time off is limited to a few weeks after spring semester, a few weeks after a bowl game and spring break. Therefore he says, it’s important the guys get a chance to get off campus and go home or wherever they choose to go. “Those break,” he says “Are getting more and  more limited by the year, it seems, so it’s just really important for them to have a chance, and this one worked out beautifully. They had three-plus weeks before they had to be back here.”

Iowa opens the season at home on September third against Miami of Ohio.
