Released in 1972, it told the story of two men drag racing across the United States in a '55 Chevy.

Parts of the movie were filmed in Tucumcari, according to The Internet Movie Database:

The National Football League draft is this weekend and the Dallas Cowboys - generally considered the "home team" in eastern New Mexico - have two first-round selections.

Most experts agree the Cowboys' biggest needs are in the defensive secondary and maybe at running back.

Anybody think Clovis' Joe Garcia, a strong safety at Texas Tech, would look good in a Dallas uniform?

Last we heard, he was training in New Jersey, hoping to attract NFL scouts' attention.
