Chevelle

Kevin Fournier has been around automobiles and drag racing all of his life, but it wasn't until last year, at the age of 34, that he came out of the grandstands and slid behind the wheel."

Alternative rock group Chevelle, Nashville country duo Florida-Georgia Line and Philadelphia-based cover band Kristen and the Noise will perform on the Jagermeister Stage at this year's Preakness InfieldFest on May 18, the Maryland Jockey Club announced today. The addition of two rock bands and a country act makes sense after the Club announced last month Top 40 staple Pitbull and rising hip-hop star(s) Macklemore & Ryan Lewis would headline InfieldFest. Kristen and the Noise, who will kick-off the Jagermeister Stage, are scheduled to play Claddagh Pub's Meet in the Street in Canton on Saturday.

Most competitors in motor sports have seasons they would like to forget. A season that lacks consistency in drag racing is a season that you can cross out any idea of making it into the point standings.B.J. Morrissett is trying to turn around a lackluster season. Last Saturday, Morrissett went to the quarterfinals in Class II (12.0 seconds and slower) competition and hopes it is an indication of better weeks ahead."It felt real good," said the 21-year-old. "I am pretty happy. It's been a while since I have done this well.

Apparently, Denver Nuggets forward and former Towson Catholic star Carmelo Anthony is selling his 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle for The Carmelo Anthony Foundation . (I wonder if this has something to do with him being tied up in all those trade rumors .) In this Tweet , Anthony said the car was one of his favorites. He didn't say why he was so fond of the black and orange Chevelle, but I think it might have something to do with the Orioles logo on the hood and the old-school cartoon logo on the back left fender.

In the postmodern era, art by African-American artists occupies a somewhat ambiguous position. Because much of it was conceived as a form of protest against the exclusion of black images in European and American art, modernist critics often dismissed it as propaganda rather than art. But postmodernism has made both multiculturalism and political protest a legitimate aesthetic strategy. As a result, artists who once would have been marginalized as "too preoccupied" with race -- for example, Joyce Scott, whose work is currently the subject of a major retrospective at the Baltimore Museum of Art -- now find themselves on the cutting edge.

Chevelle Makeba Moore was an artist from the beginning. It was a part of her, a life force long before it was a matter of will."I like to say I came to this planet an image maker," she says.Moore, 33, a native Baltimorean and graduate of the Maryland Institute, College of Art, has been a painter and graphic designer on the local scene for more than a decade. Recently her career has gained momentum and she's become a painter full-time.Despite her young age, you could say she's already spent 30 years making art. Even before school age, she was drawing -- on the walls and especially on the blank pages inside book covers.

Term limits and a long-shot run for governor may have ended the political career of former Howard County Executive Charles I. Ecker, but his 1972 pea-green Chevelle convertible isn't so easily retired. Sporting whitewall tires, an eight-track tape player and about 250,000 Maryland miles, the well-maintained car is parked these days on the county government lot in Ellicott City by SherryRexrode. A staffer in County Executive James N. Robey's office, Rexrode previously worked for Ecker.
