MADISON, Ill. -- Its hardly business as usual for ThorSport Racing team. Not when, as one of the drivers quipped, the temporary headquarters is a Kroger parking lot.Results indicate a well-oiled machine in the NASCAR Truck Series, and not one reeling from a devastating fire to the teams 100,000-square foot shop in Sandusky, Ohio, earlier this month.Were making it up as we go, general manager David Pepper said in a telephone interview. The guys have risen to the occasion.Rookie Ben Rhodes had a career-best second-place finish in last weeks event at Gateway Motorsports Park after winning the pole, and is close to qualifying for the series first Chase playoff, which begins in September.Rhodes described last weekends experience in Illinois as a blast.Its a lot more fun racing up front for me, even if I finished second, Rhodes said. Theyve been working their butts off to prepare these trucks.Pre-blaze, Rhodes compared the shop to the Taj Mahal, pristine and spacious with an elevator to transport trucks. Pepper said the facility rivaled some of those in the Sprint Cup series. ThorSport, run by Duke and Rhonda Thorson, is the longest-tenured team in the series with four trucks in the competition.Its a little bit of a charred mess in the back, said the 19-year-old Rhodes. Its devastating, but at the same time all of our guys are so resilient.Two weeks ago in the first event since the fire, ThorSport drivers finished 2-3-4 at Iowa Speedway.Two-time series champion Matt Crafton, who won in consecutive weeks earlier in the series, led the points race and had been in contention last week before getting knocked out in a collision.Theres been different challenges each day, it seems like, said Kevin Bellicourt, crew chief for Rhodes. Nobodys seen it as an excuse and its been really cool to see.Pepper said the June 13 fire started in the basement, destroying the fabrication shop. Flames could be seen shooting through the roof in the overnight blaze. The Ohio fire marshal was still investigating the cause but indications were that it was not suspicious in nature.The front half of the shop was not damaged but elsewhere the damage, much of it from smoke along with water from the firefighting, is significant. Walls have been torn down to the studs.Pepper said it will be a while still before a dollar figure can be made and several months before restoration is complete and the shop can re-open.Pavement outside an abandoned Kroger market about a quarter-mile from the shop was the main location for the temporary shop early on. It remains headquarters of sorts for Rhodes team, while other operations are scattered across town. Businesses have stepped up to help.I cant say enough about those folks lending a hand, Pepper said.Work days are now 12-14 hours instead of the usual 8-10. At the track, those involved say, its easiest to block out the challenges.Weve been very competitive, weve led laps, had an opportunity to win races. Its hard to be disappointed at all, Pepper said. We have not seen a drop-off in our performance in any way, shape or form.

BOSTON -- Harvard University has condemned a sexually explicit document that members of the 2012 mens soccer team called their scouting report of the womens soccer team.In the nine-page document, uncovered this week by The Harvard Crimson student newspaper, a member of the mens team rated the physical attractiveness of new recruits on the womens team and included their photos and lewd comments about many of them. It was circulated online among teammates.The unidentified author assigned each female recruit a nickname and a sexual position, writing one looks like the kind of girl who both likes to dominate, and likes to be dominated.Other teammates weighed in on the remarks, some voicing approval. They circulated the missive on a website that could be accessed by the public until recently.University officials said they didnt know about the document until this week. They described it as offensive and unacceptable.Harvard University Athletics has zero tolerance for behavior of this kind and is deeply upset by these offensive and derogatory remarks, Harvard Athletics Director Bob Scalise said in a statement.Womens soccer coach Chris Hamblin said the players recruited to his team in 2012 were outstanding student-athletes and are, above all else, incredible human beings.The information conntained in this document from 2012 is unacceptable, and I am saddened to see this level of disrespect shown to these women, he added.ddddddddddddamblin said the mens and womens teams share a strong rapport founded on respect and support for one another.In the document, the author refers to another scouting report from the year before, and The Crimson reported it appears to have been an annual tradition among the mens team.Officials at the Ivy League university wouldnt say whether they were investigating to determine if similar letters were circulated after 2012 but said they were working to assess the circumstances surrounding it.This kind of behavior is completely at odds with the educational environment we seek to foster and with our central value of treating one another with dignity and respect, Harvard spokeswoman Rachael Dane said.Mens soccer coach Pieter Lehrer, who was hired in 2013, said he was shocked and disgusted by the document.I will take this opportunity to address this document from 2012 with my current athletes, he said. I hope their seeing how offensive and hurtful this is will be a valuable lesson for everyone involved with this program. ' ' '
