This can't be just any dress either. Luisana Cruz, a 17-year-old senior, is a finalist for homecoming queen at her mostly Hispanic school in the Lincoln Heights section of Los Angeles. She hopes to wear both a football helmet and a crown before the day is done on Friday. "I want it bad," says Cruz, who is also student-body president and is listed on the football program at 5 ft. 6 in., 151 lbs. "But that's with the pads," she says defensively of her weight.

...HELMETS ON! Talk about headaches. Researchers have yet to prove it in humans, but a blow to the head of a pig may result in an injury that triggers brain lesions in the porcine brain that are remarkably similar to what's seen in human Alzheimer's patients.

Before the classroom lesson, the instructor, Andrew Shoen, sent me into a room to put on a red racing suit, a helmet, some driving gloves and a fake mustache. The mustache was my idea--it seems to be part of the NASCAR uniform. Much of what Andrew said made sense to me until he got to the double-clutch, heel-toe downshifting maneuver, which is the heart of racing technique. It was at this point...
